“Karina is our go to sitter in the area (if she’s free)! She is so good to our dog and treats him like family. I get lots of photos, and travel is easier when I know that my dog - a fairly shy and nervous guy - is comfortable and cared for when I’m away.”
“Kaitlin and her family took fantastic care of Poppy during her stay. She sent numerous photos and videos showing how happy Poppy was in their home. Could not have asked for a better experience.!”
“We were happy to leave Cooper in their family's care and we were not disappointed. They provided us updates on him and it was clear that he enjoyed playing in the back yard all day. The next day after picking him up, Cooper slept happily almost the whole day as he was clearly pooped from all the excercise he was fortune enough to get! Thanks guys!”
“Shaun was so great with Scout! Sent helpful updates and Scout seemed so happy when I picked her up after four nights away. Would definitely recommend and I know Scout can’t wait to go back.”
“Lulu and I met Ji and there was an instantly connection. As she had never met Ji and was in a different environment, Lulu seemed content. Ji kept me updated on Lulu’s adjustment, which stated was going well. I truly appreciate Ji being able to take care of Lulu on such a short notice. Hopefully in the future if needs arrives Ji will be able to take care of Lulu again.”
“Ryan was overall easy going and a true dog lover from how he interacted with Abu from the very beginning. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing Abu was with great company. From the conversations and picture I know my pup was in great hand, definitely will be contacting ryan for any future assistance with Abu. My pup came back tired from playing outside and full of energy so I know he was in a loving home with great pups too. From the very beginning I knew Ryan was a perfect fit for Abu and his needs.”
“Paul does an amazing job with our dog. We can finally take time off with peace of mind that Prada is in great hands and getting great care while we’re away. Extremely pleased!”
“Awesome! Jean, is excellent! We left our 7-year-old Labradoodle for the first time with Jean for an extended weekend. She treated Simba as if he was her own dog and sent us pics of their wonderful time together multiple times a day. Simba loved it and felt at home. We are so glad we found Jean as she will be our go-to person moving forward.”
“Stan and Barbara were wonderful! Our dog felt comfortable right away and we could see how happy he was in all the pictures they sent us. I wouldn’t hesitate to leave Cooper with them again. We are very grateful we found them.”
“This was the first time we left Reign with a non family member and we were so pleased! He stayed with Nikki and Rick for a week - we received pictures and videos every day and it looked like he was having a blast! We will definitely use them for our future Reign watching needs :)”
“Ekaterina was fantastic with out puppy. She kept us informed and sent frequent pictures. Our puppy had a fabulous time and enjoyed her stay. Ekaterina was quick to respond and is wonderful to work with. Anyone would be lucky to have her care for their dog.”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover offering a safe, caring, and comfortable home for your pet while you’re away. I have an 8-year-old friendly, well-mannered dog of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. My home features a large fenced yard where dogs can enjoy supervised playtime, outdoor breaks, and exercise in a secure environment. Since I work from home, your pet will receive plenty of attention, companionship, and supervision throughout the day. I accept only a limited number of pets at a time so I can provide personalized care and ensure each dog feels comfortable and well cared for. I follow your pet’s regular routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and bedtime habits. Whether your dog loves to play, relax, cuddle, or simply stay close to people, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and at home. I understand that every dog is unique, and I’m especially patient with pets who need slower introductions, extra reassurance, or a structured routine. During your pet’s stay, I’ll send regular photo and video updates so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands. Whether you need daycare or overnight boarding, my goal is to provide a loving, stress-free experience for both you and your pet. I’d love to learn more about your dog and see if we’d be a great fit. Feel free to reach out with any questions! 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I already have a friendly 8-year-old dog at home. I work with a flexible schedule, so your pet will receive regular potty breaks, playtime, supervision, walks, and lots of attention throughout the day. I am available for boarding, daycare, and weekend care, and I always try to keep pets comfortable with their normal routine as much as possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are our top priorities. I have a spacious yard for supervised outdoor play and a calm, pet-friendly home environment. My dog is gentle and well-socialized, and I introduce pets carefully to make sure everyone feels comfortable. I follow feeding schedules, provide plenty of attention, and can accommodate crate routines or special instructions if needed. I also send regular updates and photos so you can feel at ease while your pet is with me.
“Jessica was fantastic! I received pictures of every activity in addition to updates on feedings, sleep, potty, training and play time. Kian came home nice and tired after a day and sleepover full of fun! I will absolutely book again.”
“I feel bad for myself when my dogs have a good time without me. - but THEY LOVE GOING TO DEB’S! An overnight and no problems, no starving themselves, no crying all night. Just a regular day only without me. How lucky am I to have access to this help for my furr babies (and for my soul)!”
“I truly can not recommend Jaclynn enough. I recently rescued my dog (who is a puppy and has high energy). It was my first time leaving my pup, Frankie, for an extended period of time (and using Rover). After searching high and low through Rover, I thankfully came across Jaclynn. She was AMAZING my entire trip and relieved every bit of anxiety I had. I received so many pictures and updates on how Frankie was doing. Jaclynn even trained Frankie while we were gone and inspired me to get buttons for her to communicate. Frankie was sad to leave (honestly lol). Frankie will be seeing Jaclynn and Andre until the end of time. I was also sent home with fresh eggs from her farm, a toy that Frankie loved, and a printed picture. I will happily drive an hour knowing the love and care she provided for my fur baby. The absolute best!!!”
“Our 8year old doggy had her first visit here and jumped out and ran to the door excitedly as if she came everyday. Seuron and DK took Lulu out for walks and showered her with love. They are the nicest couple! We got lots of updates and we were at ease immediately. Lulu settled in right away. We highly recommend Seuron and DK! We plan to be repeat clients.”

“Roselie did a GREAT job with our two cats. During her meet and greet before starting drop ins, she brought treats to help our cats get comfortable around her. She sends several pictures and leaves thorough notes during her check ins, and I just know that our kitties are happy and treated well while in her care. Would recommend Roselie to anyone looking for a sitter for cats!”
“Emily did an excellent job updating me on my cats while I was away. Followed instructions and was very communicative during the time I was away. Would recommend highly to anyone looking for a great pet sitter.”
“Svetlana just spent the weekend with my new cat and I felt so safe leaving him with her. She understood that he was still adjusting to his new home and was so loving and kind to him. She kept me informed about his eating and activities and sent me wonderful pictures of him. She is highly responsible, communicative and a pleasure all around. I trust her completely. Thank you, Svetlana!”
“Karina is an excellent animal caretaker and highly responsive communicator! I had peace of mind that my two cats were being tended to and provided affection during my vacation. She also takes an abundance of great photos, which I really appreciated. I would definitely recommend Karina’s services.”
“Vanessa took time with our shy cats and made them love their stay. Who otherwise are very uncomfortable in a sitters home. They were allowed a lot of play and exploring time. They were given all amenities of their 5 star accommodation.”
“I always ask for lots of updates and Hadija never disappoints! She is so loving to my cat and keeps me informed on how he’s doing so I never have to guess or worry. My cat loves her too!”
“Sam did a great job taking care of my two cats and kept everything in order. She also helped us fix the auto feeder machine that was jammed with dry food. She is punctuate and reply to our messages promptly. We feel our cats are left with trusted hands.”
“This is the second time we are using Sara’s service, so this review is for our previous experience as well as this experience with Sara as our cat sitter: Sara is not just a cat sitter, she’s a care taker in general. She would keep the place clean, spend time with our cat Titan, send us prompt updates with pics and vids of Titan. She communicates very well and is a very kind person. We left a list of things to do for Titan’s care - she went above and beyond. We trust her so much and she is the ideal person you’d leave your precious animals with. You can always count on Sara!”
“Great pet centric service. It’s obvious that Bridget loves animals and understands their needs. I’m so glad I found her to watch my cat and dog when I have to be away.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Lyons
“Katie is absolutely amazing! She is communicative, thoughtful, and clearly experienced with dogs. She took such great care of Hatchi and made sure that he was comfortable and happy the entire time. We really appreciated the regular updates, photos, and little notes about how he was doing. It’s clear that Katie genuinely cares about the pets she looks after, and Hatchi came back relaxed and well cared for. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and attentive sitter. Thank you Katie!”
About: We love our dog but we aren’t crazy dog people. Our home is clean. We have a friendly husky and a large fenced yard. We don’t leave for longer than 2 hours when we have a dog over and generally take 1 guest dog at a time. We work from home and only watch when we can be here every 2 hours. We don’t go out for more than 2 hours with a dog staying. I have a big fenced yard and a friendly husky that will keep your pet entertained. We also have a great dog walking neighborhood and path.
“Katie was amazing!!! She was on time and communicative the whole way. Even though it was cold outside she bundled up my baby and took her out for walks. Definitely re-booking with Katie!”
About: I have been pet foster parent since 2018, in this time I have been able to care for around 30 pets. Some come with special challenges but have thoroughly enjoyed and fallen in love with every one of them. Goodbyes have been tough, they have gone on to loving home and thrived. I am thankful to be a small part of their journey! I am currently on work break, which gives me plenty of time to play, take long walks, and give your pet the attentive, dedicated care they deserve. I live in a townhouse with a large living / dining room and if needed can create a separate area for the pet's comfort. I have access to a large non-fenced backyard and long walking paths.
“Jaclynn is great with dogs! She has a stellar temperament and a lovely fenced-in yard. She was able to accommodate me last minute for my two large dogs, and was super caring when one of them got frightened by a thunderstorm during their stay. I will re-book with her in the future!”
About: Thank you for visiting my page! I’m a lifelong animal lover and a proud Rover Star Sitter. As a dog parent myself, I understand how important safety and trust are — they are always my top priority. Your dog will receive lots of attention, affection, and care while staying with me. I enjoy spending time with dogs, going for walks, playing, and simply making them feel comfortable and relaxed. I always try to follow each dog’s personality and routine so they feel safe and happy while their family is away. I also love sharing photo updates so you can see how your pup is doing. Sometimes, just for fun, I practice little games or simple commands with dogs and take cute photos of them during their stay — you can see some examples on my profile. I’m currently a full-time mom, which gives me the flexibility to give dogs plenty of attention during the day. Our home is calm, safe, and full of love for animals. Your dog will be treated like family here. Looking forward to meeting you and your pup! My kids bring endless energy and love for ball games, ensuring the dogs are always entertained, active, happy, playful, and never bored during their stay! I’m always home to carefully watch your dog, providing cozy beds, toys and balls for their comfort and fun. For safety, I can crate your dog if needed. I offer personalized care, follow routines and prioritize their happiness.
“Our puppy has been going to Mahita's home once a week for doggy day-care & it's been wonderful for her. She always has a smile on her face whenever she sees Mahita, which gives us great comfort & warms our hearts. Mahita is super responsive, timely & always updates with pictures & videos throughout the day. We can tell our girl gets lots of love & attention when she is with her. We are so happy we found her & would 100% recommend her services to others!”
About: I have lots of experience with dogs and absolutely love spending time with them — playing, teaching tricks, and taking them on walks. I grew up around dogs and have a real passion for it! I only take one dog at a time, so your pup gets my full attention and focus throughout the stay. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I can walk your dog in the early morning, during lunch, and in the late afternoon/evening — basically as needed throughout the day. I live in a house with my sweet two-year-old daughter, who is gentle and great with animals (no grabbing or rough play!). Because of this, I’m looking to care for friendly, calm dogs who are comfortable around kids. If your pup fits that description, I’d love to give them a fun, attentive stay full of walks, play, and maybe even a new trick or two!
“Wonderful playday for our Penny! The caring attention that Kamud paid to Penny added to the great experience of running and socializing with her own fur-baby Kai. Nice fenced yard provided plenty of space to play to their hearts content which left Penny refreshed and ready for a great night sleep. Thank you Kamud for your special care of our PennyBear!!”
“Lupe is fantastic!! He is so good with our pup and we feel so grateful to have found him!! He is so friendly and welcoming. He goes above and beyond to make sure all of our dog’s needs are met. We had an emergency and he was super accommodating and made sure that our dog was in good hands. He has an awesome large yard that our dog loves to run in. Highly recommend!”
“Jessica is a fantastic Pet Sitter. I feel so grateful to have someone like her watching after my pup. She is responsible, reliable, keeps you informed throughout the whole process including sending photos and details of your pup while you are gone. My pup Basel absolutely adores her and so do we! Thank you Jessica for taking the best care of our pup while we're away! Would highly recommend Jessica!”

I unfortunately am not able to get another dog for the time being because I am starting law school in the fall. But, I miss the presence of a dog dearly, which is why I chose to become a sitter. I smile at and care for all animals, and I am excited to meet all of your fur babies! I have experience caring for dogs of all ages and energy levels. I understand each pet has different needs, so I always ask for details/notes to make sure I can accommodate properly. Under my care, your pet is treated as if it is my own and has my full attention. While caring for pets, I also make sure to send frequent updates and pictures to keep pet parents in the loop:) I currently have a very free schedule, as I am in the summer before I start law school (I am trying to relax as much as possible before). When I begin my studies at the end of August, I will be available on weekends for boarding requests.

I will always ask what you are most comfortable with (leash in my backyard or not). I have dog bowls in my home I can use for food and drink. Dogs will always be under supervision in my home.

About: Caring for animals has always been something that comes naturally to me. I’ve spent years around dogs and other pets, helping friends, family, and neighbors with walking, feeding, playtime, and overnight care. I’m comfortable working with dogs and any animal of different sizes, ages, and temperaments, from energetic puppies that need lots of exercise to older dogs that prefer slower walks and extra care. I always focus on creating a calm, safe, and positive environment so pets feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. Currently work part time at nights and weekends predominantly so I have morning/daytime availablility during the week while you are at work! Can also do overnights any day of the week. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I take that responsibility very seriously.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for 10+ years! I love spending time with all animals so petsitting is like a vacation for me. I am a full time lab technician and have flexible hours to watch over any furbabies :) I have a full time job that is very flexible with my hours. I am very detail oriented, punctual, and patient. I am free outside of work and would love to occupy my time, whenever need be, to help someone else who needs help watching their dog or cat! My biggest worry is not letting your furbabies run loose! I always check my surroundings before entering a home and be cautious so that no animal runs out or gets hurt in the process. While taking care of pets it is easy to let them run wild and have fun, but we can also do so without making the home messy! I will treat anyones dog or cat as my own, as well as make sure that I leave a home the way it was when coming in.

My pup came back tired from playing outside and full of energy so I know he was in a loving home with great pups too. From the very beginning I knew Ryan was a perfect fit for Abu and his needs.”
“Paul does an amazing job with our dog. We can finally take time off with peace of mind that Prada is in great hands and getting great care while we’re away. Extremely pleased!”
“Awesome! Jean, is excellent! We left our 7-year-old Labradoodle for the first time with Jean for an extended weekend. She treated Simba as if he was her own dog and sent us pics of their wonderful time together multiple times a day. Simba loved it and felt at home. We are so glad we found Jean as she will be our go-to person moving forward.”
“This was the first time we left Reign with a non family member and we were so pleased! He stayed with Nikki and Rick for a week - we received pictures and videos every day and it looked like he was having a blast! We will definitely use them for our future Reign watching needs :)”
“Ekaterina was fantastic with out puppy. She kept us informed and sent frequent pictures. Our puppy had a fabulous time and enjoyed her stay. Ekaterina was quick to respond and is wonderful to work with. Anyone would be lucky to have her care for their dog.”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover offering a safe, caring, and comfortable home for your pet while you’re away. I have an 8-year-old friendly, well-mannered dog of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. My home features a large fenced yard where dogs can enjoy supervised playtime, outdoor breaks, and exercise in a secure environment. Since I work from home, your pet will receive plenty of attention, companionship, and supervision throughout the day. I accept only a limited number of pets at a time so I can provide personalized care and ensure each dog feels comfortable and well cared for. I follow your pet’s regular routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and bedtime habits. Whether your dog loves to play, relax, cuddle, or simply stay close to people, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and at home. I understand that every dog is unique, and I’m especially patient with pets who need slower introductions, extra reassurance, or a structured routine. During your pet’s stay, I’ll send regular photo and video updates so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands. Whether you need daycare or overnight boarding, my goal is to provide a loving, stress-free experience for both you and your pet. I’d love to learn more about your dog and see if we’d be a great fit. Feel free to reach out with any questions! 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I already have a friendly 8-year-old dog at home. I work with a flexible schedule, so your pet will receive regular potty breaks, playtime, supervision, walks, and lots of attention throughout the day. I am available for boarding, daycare, and weekend care, and I always try to keep pets comfortable with their normal routine as much as possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are our top priorities. I have a spacious yard for supervised outdoor play and a calm, pet-friendly home environment. My dog is gentle and well-socialized, and I introduce pets carefully to make sure everyone feels comfortable. I follow feeding schedules, provide plenty of attention, and can accommodate crate routines or special instructions if needed. I also send regular updates and photos so you can feel at ease while your pet is with me.
“I truly can not recommend Jaclynn enough. I recently rescued my dog (who is a puppy and has high energy). It was my first time leaving my pup, Frankie, for an extended period of time (and using Rover). After searching high and low through Rover, I thankfully came across Jaclynn. She was AMAZING my entire trip and relieved every bit of anxiety I had. I received so many pictures and updates on how Frankie was doing. Jaclynn even trained Frankie while we were gone and inspired me to get buttons for her to communicate. Frankie was sad to leave (honestly lol). Frankie will be seeing Jaclynn and Andre until the end of time. I was also sent home with fresh eggs from her farm, a toy that Frankie loved, and a printed picture. I will happily drive an hour knowing the love and care she provided for my fur baby. The absolute best!!!”
“Sayak has been great with our furbaby, Milo! He's already had Milo 2x and the second time, Milo was thrilled to see him again- what better review than a happy dog? I get lots of feedback, photos and communication.”
“My dog Phin had a fantastic visit with Louie. Louise place is great for having dog daycare with a fully fenced backyard. He clearly loves dogs and gets along with him well. I felt very good about the safety and the fun. My dog was having while I was working all day :-) I will definitely be using Louie again in the future.”
“Mallika was amazing. She really took the time to get to know Coco and help her feel at home. She was in communication with us and gave us updates. I would highly recommend Mallika to anyone looking for a caring sitter.”
“Gianna was so wonderful with our dog! She was incredibly responsive and gave us daily updates and pictures, and it was so clear that our dog felt right at home with her. Would absolutely recommend to anyone!”
“Lisa and her family did a wonderful job watching our dog while we were away. We received daily pictures and updates. We were so relieved to know Buddy was in good hands! We will definitely be taking Buddy back sometime!”
“Melodie is wonderful. She really got to know my dog and is great with grouping together similar temperment dogs at the same time. My dog was spoiled with play, walks, treats and outdoor deck/yard time. I received lots of updates and pictures. Highly recommend her for anyone who is nervous about leaving their pup when traveling out of town!”
