“John was very tentative to our dog . We loved his positive energy . We can tell he's a true animal lover . He was so easy going and flexible when we had to change our drop off off time last minute . Love how him and his son made our dog feel loved :) Photos were adorable of her he sent ! Thanks so much :)”

“Amanda and Max took such wonderful care of our dog! From the start, Amanda was incredibly responsive and flexible, which made the whole process so easy. While we were away, she sent lots of photos and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear that our dog was having a great time and was being well cared for. We’re so grateful to have found them and would highly recommend Amanda and Max to anyone looking for a reliable and caring place for their dog!”

“Teresa was absolutely wonderful, we are so grateful that we found her! We actually found her very last minute and she was wonderful, kind, super accommodating, and so wonderful to our dog! Her correspondence was great and we knew our dog was in the best care the whole time we were away! Highly recommend her, she is lovely!”

“Orso had a wonderful time with Caitlin and Georgia! Usually when we pick him up from a sitter he jumps right into our car but this time he tried to go back in with Caitlin. She took exceptional care of him, ensuring he got exercise, was well fed, brushed, played and stayed cool. We feel very comfortable knowing our boy will be in good hands when we go away later this summer!”

“Darien took such great care of our Kudi! She sent me so many pictures and videos throughout the week, which made me feel like I was still there with him and gave me so much peace of mind. Her space is gorgeous with a huge lawn for him to play and sunbathe. She also gave him a bath and a haircut for his return home, and he looks absolutely adorable! I highly recommend Darien and will definitely be booking with her again.”


“We booked for the first time with Amy over Memorial Day Weekend and are so appreciative of the love and care she gave our dog, Stanley! Amy sent daily updates and photos which we were so grateful for, and we love that she and her family treated Stanley like he was their own. We will absolutely be rebooking Amy again :)”

“I have nothing but good things to say about Ms. Maisha. My dog loved her from the first drop off. She sent picture updates daily. I will definitely use her again in the future and highly recommend her.”


“We had a wonderful experience with Eunice. She took such great care of our dog and made sure he felt safe, comfortable, and loved throughout the stay. It was clear from the updates and photos that our dog was happy and well cared for. Communication was excellent, and we really appreciated the kindness, attention, and genuine affection she showed. It was such a relief to know our dog was in such good hands. We would absolutely book with Eunice again and highly recommend them her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter.”

“Doug and Luiz took great care of our girls while we were away. We were first time Rover users but they clearly know what they are doing. They have their house set up really well and have seen it all. They gave us lots of updates and are very safety focused. I especially appreciate them putting airtags on the dogs upon check in and every entry/exit point is double gated. Really conscientious dog lovers who set up towel pathways for my dog who gets scared of tile/wood floors. Will for sure use again!”

“We had the pleasure of having Elizabeth watch our corgi, Simba, for 9 days—and we couldn't have asked for a better experience! Elizabeth was incredibly accommodating, communicative, and truly a joy to work with. There was a slight health concern with Simba while we were away, but Elizabeth handled the situation with so much care and attention. She kept us updated every step of the way, which gave us so much peace of mind. When we picked Simba up, he was calm, happy, and relaxed—something we didn’t expect given how anxious he usually is. It’s clear that he felt safe and loved during his stay. We are so grateful to Elizabeth and wouldn’t hesitate to trust her with Simba again!”

“Tracy and Steve were such great people to leave our pup with for a week! Lots of videos and photos and just lovely communication. Great yard for the dogs to run around in! Will happily use them again :)”

“Shaun is wonderful with our 5 year old golden. He takes such good care of her, lots of walks, attention, and play, as well as sends us frequent update and photos! Thank you!”


“Our little Pluto had the best time ever with Dee. Dee is kind, professional and had good communication the entire time Pluto was with her. Honestly, Pluto came home happier than when he arrived hahah we will 100% be using her again! Thanks for everything.”

“Brain was very easy to work with. Meet and Greet was super easy and the actual boarding was super smooth. Max seems to have had a great time with Brian. I would highly recommend Brian.”

“Carolina will be the only sitter for my dog from now on. She and her family truly cared for my dog during my family's vacation and i can't thank her enough! They are true dog lover! Thank you, Carolina for your care and service for my dog!!!”


“Manuel was so kind and accommodating! Not only did he accept my booking request at the last minute because I booked a weekend trip on a Wednesday, but he was also so pleasant and responsive! I can tell that Frankie had a great time and felt right at home. Frankie is a high energy pup and Manuel said that he was happy that he was! (I was worried that he would be annoying!) They played a ton and I received some pictures while I was away. I will definitely be booking Manuel every time I go out of town or need to board Frankie :)”

“Amazing experience with Mimi’s dog sitter! They were caring, reliable, and kept us updated the whole time. Mimi was happy and well taken care of. Highly recommend!”

“This was my second time using Hira as a pet sitter. Both times she has been amazing. She answers my messages right away and sends pictures and updates on Guppy. Thank you Hira for watching him!!!”


“Kyra already looks after our dogs with walks. Now Kyra has met our two cats as well. Kyra is reliable and does a great job. We've just come home and the cats are chilled and their usual selves. Thanks Kyra.”


“Lindsey was so on top of Nico's care! There were things that she brought to our attention before we could even follow up with her on what to expect. Such a huge help. She really knows her animals and what is needed to take care of them.”


“Zoe was great with my Charlie! As a new puppy I was a little nervous leaving him alone to run errands and my doctors appointments,she was able to pick up the shift last minute and Charlie was well taken care of. Highly recommended!”

“Katie and Zayn were amazing! My cat has congestive heart failure and needs his meds at very specific times. I had asked them to come and give his night pills while I was at work. Oliver is very shy of new people. But he liked Katie and Zayn. I have tired another pet sitter and he refused to come out from under the bed. Oliver was not like this with them. Katie and Zayn took the time to be with my cats and make sure they were comfortable. The communication they provided me was also amazing. I am a helicopter parent and they were happy to provide me with text updates. I highly recommend Katie and Zayn. I will definitely be using them in the future for any of my pets needs. Thank you again so much!!!”


“Amy was a wonderful caretaker for Maverick! Made several calls and sent pictures of him to let us know how he was doing throughout our entire vacation! Will definitely use her services again the next time we go away!”


“Mary Ann recently cared for our two cats for the second time. Once again, we were thoroughly impressed with her service. She is incredibly attentive to our cats' needs and shows great care during her time with them. In addition to her care for our pets, she is very respectful of our home and consistently responsive in her communication. We truly appreciate her reliability and the peace of mind she provides while we are away.”

“Jonny was very professional and quick to respond and gave me daily updates on my cats with pictures. He also went out of his way to try and clean up around the litter boxes as my cats like to track it everywhere. Will definitely use his services again.”

“Cheryl is amazing! We have booked her services on multiple long trips. She never fails to provide the best care and affection when she pet sits. She provides plenty of pictures and she is genuinely a sincere and kind person.”

About: I’ve dog sat for overnight stays for two years, and I have walked dogs consistently for the last three years! I also own two dogs and consistently take care of them.

“Victoria is amazing! She gave Bernard the best care and comfort while we were away, from snuggles to nutrition and a clean environment. I highly recommend her for your cats or dogs.”

About: Since establishing my pet sitting business eight years ago, I’ve cared for cats of many breeds. Cats have different personalities, just like dogs, and it’s important for the pet parent to provide me with information about their furry friends’ behavior, feeding habits and tendencies so I can provide the best care possible.
“Zina was an amazing sitter! This was my boyfriend and I’s first time using a service to watch our cats - of course we were nervous to leave our two kitties, but Zian was so great and easy to work with. He was quick to respond to my messages, attentive to the cats, played with them, was timely with feeding them, and sent over lots of photos. 10/10 would recommend and will be re-booking next time we’re out of town!”

“Tracy and Steve are amazing hosts and made sure our timid rescue pup felt right at home. They have great energy which helped Bonnie warm up to them quickly, and gave her her space while she got comfortable with her new surroundings. They’re also super communicative and flexible, which made me feel comfortable to have Bonnie in their care. Highly recommend!”

“A day for Pip with Amanda and Max is always a great day. They keep an impeccably clean and dog friendly house. And the gorgeous upscale neighborhood has quiet safe streets, so I know Pip is safe on his walks.”

About: Hi! I’m Marina, a dancewear designer and a proud mom to a lovable 6-year-old dog. My love for animals brings me so much happiness, and I truly enjoy their company! I am mainly working in dance industry but do have part time to spend with dogs since I have my own and i have a lot of friends that have pets I just love to cuddle with them, walk them and play. I will prioritize the unique needs of each animal, recognising that every pet is special and deserves tailored care. I strive to create a comforting and personalized experience, ensuring that every pet feels valued and well- cared for.

“Manuel is awesome! He took great care of Harley and is a great communicator. He is super friendly and you can tell he loves dogs. I look forward to leaving Harley with him next time.”


“Digdem is amazing!! After another Rover sitter cancelled on us at the last minute, she agreed to take our 9 year old, anxious, Weimaraner last minute on Thanksgiving Day! She was so accommodating and sent frequent updates throughout the day. We are so grateful to have found her and can’t wait to use her again. Very highly recommend!!”

“Outstanding service! I needed a last-minute backup sitter when our regular sitter wasn't available. Karen responded -and continued to respond throughout our interaction- immediately and thoughtfully. She asked excellent questions at our "meet-n-greet" and our pup immediately warmed to her and her well-kept home. I wasn't able to tell her exactly when I would be back to pick up due to lack of cell service but she took it in stride and replied "No problem" when I was finally able to communicate. Karen is new to this site and I'm confident she will be racking up 5-star reviews in no time. I will definitely use her again and tell my friends.”

“Doug was great with Molly! She had such a fun time and was totally tired out from her day. He was very friendly and provided updates throughout. He was very flexible with timing as well. We would definitely use him again in the future.”

“Geoff & Family took such great care of our dog, sending regular updates throughout the day. They are true animal lovers with a great set up to properly host dogs and make them feel at home!”

“Andrew is top rated for a reason! Totally worth the cost. He’s got a great space perfect for a dog to free roam and family all committed to the care of your little one. Professional, accommodating, attentive, and great with updates / communication. New to the area and was nervous leaving my little one with a new care giver for an extended period for work travel. Andrew gave me tons of peace of mind. Definitely recommend!”

“We had a wonderful experience with Anna! Duke had an amazing time at her place and absolutely loved spending the day with their dog Theo. Anna is incredibly caring and attentive to the dogs in her care. She was very mindful of Duke’s needs and made sure he was comfortable throughout the day. We especially appreciated the frequent updates, pictures, and videos — it was so reassuring to see how happy and relaxed Duke was. We would absolutely trust Anna with Duke again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful and loving sitter.”

“Cinthia was amazing with Koda. She was very communicative and provided regular updates throughout the day. I felt very comfortable with her watching my dog and knowing he was in good hands. Would totally recommend leveraging cinthia if you have the opportunity.”

“Isabella is absolutely amazing. We have worked with several dog sitters and Isabella is easily the best. She cared for Bambi, played with him and patiently trained him. She sent us a lot of amazing photos and videos. What a wonderful lady! My wife and I are so happy and lucky to find Isabella! Highly recommended!”

“Briana has been an absolute lifesaver! I booked her on very short notice when a work trip came up unexpectedly, and she was incredibly accommodating and easy to coordinate with. My dog, Phoebe, is quite shy and reactive, which can be challenging for anyone new, but Briana handled her with so much patience, care, and understanding. Knowing Phoebe was in such capable and reliable hands gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I will definitely be using Briana again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog walker!”

“Kyra is wonderful and reliable and my Scarlett had some belly issues that altered my plans so Kyra’s flexibility was a blessing! Scarlett was well cared for and in good hands!”
“Jonny was very reliable and communicative. Sky was very happy each day. I appreciate him being down to do a meet and greet before starting the walks. He asked questions proactively, was quick to respond to messages, and provided photos and updates. I would definitely re-book with Jonny!”

“Cole is a true professional who genuinely cares for dogs and animals of all kinds. From the very beginning, he has been reliable, attentive, and incredibly easy to work with. My dog, Lucky, absolutely loves her walks with him and gets excited every time he arrives, which says a lot about the bond and trust he builds with the pets he cares for. Cole is caring, friendly, patient, and always brings a positive attitude. He treats every dog as if they were his own and takes the time to make sure they are comfortable, safe, and happy.

“This was our first time using Rover to find a dog walker and we were a bit anxious about having someone in our house and taking care of our dog. Katie & Zayn put our fears at ease and walked us through the process. They were flexible, communicative, helpful and good to our dog. We'll happily use them again as needed!”

About: I have had two cats all my life which I have cared for, fed and changed litter for. I also have experience with walking and caring for dogs. I am free anytime from here up until the 16th of August which is when I will be going back to college, but I will be free when winter break comes around. My cats are house cats so it is very easy for me to keep them safe. I shoo them away from anything dangerous or anything they shouldn’t be messing with quickly. As for dogs, I always keep an eye on them and have a tight grip on their leash when walking them so they don’t run off.

Thanks guys once again for taking such incredible care of my fur baby Peanut!”
