“Maisha was an amazing sitter for my pup! She restored my trust in the Rover platform after a couple of not so pleasant experiences…and he smelled amazing at pickup! I received morning and nightly updates with pics. Will definitely book again!!”
“I was a bit skeptical using Rover, and a bit nervous to leave Dilon. Paloma explained the process and was very helpful. I loved that Dilon stayed in good hands and I was able to have peace of mind. Paloma kept me informed of Dilon’s day to day, she would answer promptly to the messages and would also send pictures regularly. Thank you again for taking good care of Dilon.”
“I have a sweet but anxious girl and she was very happy staying with Janise- I could tell by the videos she keep me updated with that she was happy and trusted her - I would highly recommend her and would rebook again!”
“Brownie enjoyed his stay with Marlene which was such a relief. He usually has separation anxiety but he was immediately comfortable with Marlene from the start (maybe because I had booked a walk with Marlene a few weeks prior). He had plenty of walking time & she kept me updated on how he was doing with photos & videos.”
“Roman was incredible. He sent us daily pictures and videos and was very communicative. He took such great care of Luna for 2 weeks, taking her for long walks in the park. We will absolutely work with him again.”
“Christian was great. He provided us with an update as to how our dog Foxy was doing in his care and when we did picker up from him, she looked very happy! We would use him again without hesitation!”
“Gargi & Sourav have been absolutely amazing. One of our furry kids was a bit nervous as I was dropping them off, so we were a bit nervous for them, but they have completely put out worries aside. The provided frequent daily updates on how our dogs were doing, brining up any questions or concerns along the way. Our dogs also really got along with their pets as well which made us happy that our dogs are also making friends. The dog park being right next to their apartment building is also a massive plus that helps with both social and energy levels of our dogs. They had a great stay and we as the owners had a relaxing worry free time. Would definitely book them again.”
“Ivette & Gonzalo were awesome! This was my first time boarding my dog through the app, and they helped me with all of my questions, were super responsive and kind, sent me photos and updates, and provided an overall great experience!”
“She's super great and attentive with my dog. My dog is still a young pup and she really paid attention and was willing to do all the small things in order for the training to keep going. Will definitely be a regular!”
“Sabrina was amazing with magnolia! I’ve had unfavorable Rover experiences in the past so planned ahead and did a meet and greet. I could tell instantly how warm and genuine she is- she even read up on the notes before that meeting. I felt super comfortable heading into our weekend away. During the weekend she gave several updates and was generous with photos/ videos all descriptive of magnolias characteristics. I knew Magnolia loved her stay with Sabrina when I picked her up and she kept looking back for her to walk away with us! I will absolutely book with her again whenever she’s free!”
“Christina and Nick provided a calm, loving environment for Ziggy. Christina sent daily updates and pictures, and there was no doubt in my mind that Ziggy was being well taken care of. That peace of mind was so appreciated during our time away.”
“I am one satisfied customer. Ryan took excellent care of my dog for one week. He stayed in contact with me for the duration of the week via text and emails. Ryan sent several pictures not to mention asking questions pertaining to my dogs needs. He is an excellent dog sitter. Trust me when I tell you booking him is a fantastic choice!!!”
“Jenny was great, patience, kind and communicative. She sent pictures and replied to our messages. Most importantly she was sweet to our fearful dog Tessa and made her feel safe. I would recommend her to anyone.”
“We left our young dog Luna with Geoff and family, and they could not have been more WONDERFUL!! They truly went above and beyond sending us so many pictures and videos of Luna having fun playing with other dogs, running in the dog park, and even splashing in a small plastic pool they set up for the dogs to cool off in their fenced in backyard. They are truly so kind and we were so at ease during our vacation knowing that Luna is having a great time on a vacation of her own! They really care for all the dogs they watch as if they are their own. We will definitely be using their services for our future boarding needs and we HIGHLY recommend them!!”
“Sanaz was so great for agreeing to watch Roscoe last minute. She sent update photos and messages every day. He also was in such a happy mood when I went to pick him up. Will definitely be requesting her again in the near future.”
“Binny was awesome! She was punctual, communicative, and sent several updates each day. I could tell our pup was well taken care of. We’ll surely be using Binny again for our boarding needs.”
“Yuberkis was awesome with our two dogs for three weeks! She was super caring, very responsive, followed our instructions and sent me pics every day. She even celebrated one of my dog's birthdays and made special food for him, which was so nice of her. I’d totally use her services again!”
“As a first time Rover user, I am appreciative of the service and very happy with the care that Amanda and her family gave to my Skye. Amanda was very communicative via both messages and photos of my dog throughout the day. My mind was at ease and I felt comfortable and confident in the care Skye was receiving. I will definitely be a return customer and am glad to have found a committed caregiver in Amanda.”

“Victoria watched our anxious eight-year-old cat for a week. Every day, we looked forward to receiving cute pictures and a description of the visit. When we returned, our cat was noticeably happier and healthier than he has been after visits from previous pet sitters. Victoria gave our pet plenty of love and attention. You can tell that she really cares about the animals she pet sits.”
“Maryann was great with our cat and sent me lots of great pictures and updates. She also left an adorable gift for my pets and was easy to reach for updates. Would definitely use her again 😀”
“Christina was incredible with my cat! She was very thorough, caring, and treated my cat as if she were her own. Christina went above and beyond, even spending extra time with her most days. She also made sure my apartment stayed clean and provided constant pictures and feedback. I felt so grateful knowing that my cat was in such great care while I was very far away. When I returned, my cat was very calm and happy, which shows she remained relaxed while I was away!”
“Andrew was a very last minute booking as my family member whom usually keeps an eye on TIMO has been sick and I was taking a multi day trip and needed someone to keep an eye on TIMO (he loves play time and companionship!). I met Andrew on the morning that I was leaving and agreed to keep an eye on him. He dropped by later that afternoon to start his sessions and Timo welcomed him in. Each time Andrew came back Timo would welcome him at the door and was looking forward to playtime! Also Andrew would send timely communications and pictures and usually a short video clip of playtime 🐱and usually would stay a tad extra each time! Additionally there was one day that Timo pulled out a power cable connecting his water fountain feeder and thermostat and he was able to identify the source and plug it back in. I’m so very happy TIMO was able to warm up to Andrew quickly and would highly recommend for anyone looking for the care of their cat .. with care as if it was his own pet. Also, Timo wants to thank Andrew for bringing him a new toy and genuinely loving playtime every day. Thank you 😸”
“Jinghong was absolutely amazing and took great care of my kitty! I came back to a very clean apartment and a very happy cat. I couldn’t be happier with her service!”
“Lori took great care of Bailey. She followed my instructions for feeding and caring my baby and was great about cleaning up after him. My only critique is that I wish she had better communication with me. I received photos but no written communication.”
“Anna has been watching my puppy a few times a week since she was about 4 months old and my puppy always has the best time. Anna is very thorough and follows all of my instructions regarding my dog’s care. I would recommend her to anyone!”
“Caitlin took great care of my 2 cats for a week! She was on time, followed their instructions well, and sent nice summaries. One of my cats is very skittish and she came out to eat and hang out when Caitlin was there. Caitlin spent solid time with them which is very appreciated. Thank you for the peace of mind!!”
“Melissa was the best care taker for my 3 cats including my elderly one! I was traveling for my daughter’s wedding and this was the first time I didn’t have any available family members to care after my cats. Melissa took great care of them and I didn’t have to worry or stress about if my cats were okay while I was away. I would highly recommend her!”
About: I have had dogs all of my life ranging from large to small. I have had experience walking them, putting them on leashes, being around multiple dogs and people with my dogs. What sets me apart is that I am very active and will be willing to have your dog get lots of exercise. I also want to be doing this because I love dogs so much and miss having one of my own. I am responsible and organized and will always pay attention to your dog and not neglect them. My friends also have rover and I know from them the best ways to do things and handle things. I have also watched my friends and family’s dogs in the past as well! I’m able to watch dogs as needed in my home and have limited meetings each day. I work from home and so does my boyfriend! We live in a very walkable area and will be able to give the dog lots of attention as we both work from home and will be able to play with them and walk them!

About: I have had pets in my household since I was a child and have cared for dogs from puppy-senior- -I understand their need for love and the importance of attention to detail in taking care of pets. I love to take long walks and explore new trails and areas with my dog and would love to spend time with yours also! I am available on Friday afternoons (after 2pm) as well as Saturday and Sunday for short or long walk! Demanding Job during the weeks means I am not available Monday-Thursday or Friday morning I will always keep your dog on leash and close by making sure they are happy and safe- I think the #1 responsibility of any dog owner or caretaker is keeping them safe and happy. Happy to comply with any special requests and be attentive to your dogs unique needs/wants.

I currently work remotely, so I have plenty of time to care for and play with your pups! I’m available for boarding on weekends and on weekdays starting from 11 a.m. My family has always had pets, so I’m very comfortable caring for them. At the moment, I don’t have any pets in my home, so your pet will have all the attention and space. I ensure a safe environment by keeping a watchful eye, maintaining secure spaces, and providing plenty of care and affection.
“Kathy responded to our initial request incredibly quickly and couldn’t have been kinder. From the start, she was attentive and understanding—especially important for us since our dog can be a bit anxious in new environments. During our first drop-off, she took the time to help him feel comfortable and safe, and we were relieved to hear that he had settled down shortly after we left. It gave us real peace of mind knowing he was in such caring hands. We’re so happy to have found someone we trust, and we’ve already booked with her again for an upcoming multi-night stay. Highly recommended!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid. I have rescued my dogs while traveling through South America since 2022 and have been taking care of them. The old one is 5 yrs old and the second one is 2yrs old. I work remotely so I spend all day with my dogs except for when I have to run errands. This is why I can fit drop visits and walks throughout the day since I work from home. I have a fenced backyard if dogs need to play outside but also if they need to stay in a crate I can help with that. I have experience with walking small- large dogs.

About: I've loved animals my whole life and have been around cats in one way or another for most of my life. I grew up with multiple cats and I've been taking care of my cat Cole since adopting her in 2018 as a kitten. I've been volunteering at a cat shelter for several years as a socializer and love visiting as many cats as I can when I'm there (I always stay longer than my shift). I love them dearly, always want what's best for them, and would treat your cat with the same care concern I'd treat for my own. I'd be happy to provide drop-in visits for feedings/etc or to provide your cat with some play/social time! I love meeting new cats and taking in their unique quirks! While I've had a lot more exposure to felines, I've spent time and cared for several dogs as well and would gladly care for yours while you are away. I've had a lot of good experiences with them - I’m good pals with my landlady's pitbull and my dad’s chocolate lab! I’ll give your dog lots of attention and be mindful of their personality, especially during walks. I’ve had some anxious ones that can get a bit testy when they see other dogs during walks and I’ve handled them well. I'm between jobs at the moment, so I am fairly flexible in terms of availability with some notice. Sunday is my day for volunteering, though I can swap my shift if need be to provide your pet with the care it needs. I'm happy to arrange for shorter/longer visits on single/recurring basis. Can assist with feedings, playtime or just hang out and provide them a loving lap! Also happy to provide photo/video updates of your fur babies to help put your mind(s) at ease!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a young girl. My family always had pets. As an owner of my own pets, I understand the love and attention they need. I offer the flexibility and loving space needed to cater to any needs of your family pet. I would love them like they’re my own. I was a nurse before staying home with my kids, who are now in school full time. I’d be home all day with your fur baby so they’d have all my attention for play, cuddles, & walks. I have a fenced in back yard if your fur baby likes to play outside, or plenty of room inside my house to play. My family has an almost 3 year old goldendoodle who is the sweetest pup. She would enjoy having friends to play with.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over 7 years and have experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and energy levels. I currently care for my own 14-year-old dog, so I’m familiar with senior pet needs, including slower walks, extra patience during mealtimes, mobility assistance, and maintaining a comfortable routine. I’m comfortable walking, feeding, bathing, exercising, and providing lots of attention and affection. I regularly take my Doberman, Claddagh on runs and help care for my sister’s dog, so I’m confident handling both large and energetic breeds. I’ve also cared for a rescued litter of kittens and have experience with cats of different personalities and temperaments. I understand that every pet is unique, and I always strive to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or a slower-paced routine, I’ll provide dependable care tailored to their needs. I’m currently a full-time student at Lincoln Tech, but I maintain a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable pet care throughout the week. I am generally available between 12:30 PM and 4:00 PM on weekdays, have open availability on Fridays from 6:00 AM to 4:00 PM, and am available all day on most weekends. Outside of school, I babysit and care for family pets, so I’m used to balancing responsibilities and maintaining consistent routines. I always make time to provide attentive, dependable care and will communicate clearly about my availability when booking. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to maintain their normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure while their owner is away. This includes feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, potty breaks, cleaning up after pets, and providing plenty of attention and affection. I also make sure to follow any specific instructions regarding medications, exercise, feeding schedules, or other special needs.

About: I have 30 years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, from brand new puppies to beloved seniors who need extra support. I’m reliable, patient, and very detail oriented, and I always follow your routines exactly to keep your dog comfortable and stress-free while you’re away.

You can count on clear communication, reliability, and genuine care. Your dog stays safe, relaxed, and understood. You stay updated and worry-free. Pet care is my full-time profession, so my entire day is structured around giving each pet the attention they deserve. I don’t overbook or cram visits together, I intentionally keep my schedule flexible so I can stay reliable, punctual, and fully present with every animal I care for. Spacing out visits allows me to maintain a calm, stress-free routine and gives me room to handle any unexpected needs that might come up, such as extra cleanup, weather changes, mobility issues, or a pet who needs a little more time and reassurance that day. Your pet never feels rushed, and you never have to worry about me balancing other jobs or squeezing you in. This is what I do, all day, every day. Your pet’s comfort and safety always come first. I care for pets in their own home because that’s where they feel most secure, confident, and relaxed. I follow your routines exactly, feeding times, walks, medications, training cues, preferred routes, and house rules , so everything stays familiar and predictable for your pet. I pay close attention to details like behavior changes, energy levels, appetite, and overall mood, and I communicate anything I notice. I’m extremely reliable, gentle, and respectful of your home, and I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are always handled carefully. My goal is simple: your pet feels safe and understood, and you feel completely confident trusting me in your home.

“Brownie enjoyed his stay with Marlene which was such a relief. He usually has separation anxiety but he was immediately comfortable with Marlene from the start (maybe because I had booked a walk with Marlene a few weeks prior). He had plenty of walking time & she kept me updated on how he was doing with photos & videos.”
“Roman was incredible. He sent us daily pictures and videos and was very communicative. He took such great care of Luna for 2 weeks, taking her for long walks in the park. We will absolutely work with him again.”
“Gargi & Sourav have been absolutely amazing. One of our furry kids was a bit nervous as I was dropping them off, so we were a bit nervous for them, but they have completely put out worries aside. The provided frequent daily updates on how our dogs were doing, brining up any questions or concerns along the way. Our dogs also really got along with their pets as well which made us happy that our dogs are also making friends. The dog park being right next to their apartment building is also a massive plus that helps with both social and energy levels of our dogs. They had a great stay and we as the owners had a relaxing worry free time. Would definitely book them again.”
“Ivette & Gonzalo were awesome! This was my first time boarding my dog through the app, and they helped me with all of my questions, were super responsive and kind, sent me photos and updates, and provided an overall great experience!”
“She's super great and attentive with my dog. My dog is still a young pup and she really paid attention and was willing to do all the small things in order for the training to keep going. Will definitely be a regular!”
“Christina and Nick provided a calm, loving environment for Ziggy. Christina sent daily updates and pictures, and there was no doubt in my mind that Ziggy was being well taken care of. That peace of mind was so appreciated during our time away.”
“Jenny was great, patience, kind and communicative. She sent pictures and replied to our messages. Most importantly she was sweet to our fearful dog Tessa and made her feel safe. I would recommend her to anyone.”
“We left our young dog Luna with Geoff and family, and they could not have been more WONDERFUL!! They truly went above and beyond sending us so many pictures and videos of Luna having fun playing with other dogs, running in the dog park, and even splashing in a small plastic pool they set up for the dogs to cool off in their fenced in backyard. They are truly so kind and we were so at ease during our vacation knowing that Luna is having a great time on a vacation of her own! They really care for all the dogs they watch as if they are their own. We will definitely be using their services for our future boarding needs and we HIGHLY recommend them!!”
“Binny was awesome! She was punctual, communicative, and sent several updates each day. I could tell our pup was well taken care of. We’ll surely be using Binny again for our boarding needs.”
“As a first time Rover user, I am appreciative of the service and very happy with the care that Amanda and her family gave to my Skye. Amanda was very communicative via both messages and photos of my dog throughout the day. My mind was at ease and I felt comfortable and confident in the care Skye was receiving. I will definitely be a return customer and am glad to have found a committed caregiver in Amanda.”
“Sarah gave Dante an outstanding stay caring for him while we were away visiting family do 3 days. She sent plenty of photos and kept us updated several times a day on how he was doing. She took Dante on 2-3 walks a day and gave him plenty of opportunities to make new furry friends at Central Park. Highly recommend Sarah and hope we can work together again!”
“Euitae is very professional and flexible. Vito looked well taken care of and seemed right at home with Euitae and Winston. I’m glad Vito has new friends in the neighborhood!”
“Karla was wonderful. Great communication, super fast replies, oodles of pictures sent, and just a really great vibe. Ramona clearly had a wonderful time during her stay and she came home clean and happy. We will not hesitate to book again with Karla!”
“Here's a shorter version: --- I recently booked Angela for two nights, and I'm thrilled with the care my dog received. Angela provided regular updates with photos and videos, ensuring my peace of mind. My shy dog quickly warmed up to them, and all his dietary and exercise needs were perfectly met. I came home to a happy pup and a tidy house. Highly recommend Angela for reliable and loving pet care.”
“My dog was very happy when I picked him up and dropped him off. He is generally very anxious and an older dog so I am always a little wary leaving him behind but I am glad we found Michael and he had a comfortable stay at Michael's house. Michael and his wife were wonderful and always very responsive and flexible with my last minute changes.”
“Deibi and Tiffany took wonderful care of my two dogs over a long weekend. I received detailed updates, photos, and videos everyday. Tiffany was super responsive and she’s so kind! My dogs didn’t want to leave!!!”
“Orlando and Christina were incredibly accommodating from the start and took the time to understand my dog’s needs. Throughout the week, they sent me several updates each day, which helped ease my anxiety and let me enjoy my time away. I would absolutely use them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, caring sitters!”
“Let me start by saying this was my first time using Rover ever. Andrew was so helpful and reassuring and explained everything to me. Additionally, while I was away he kept me up to date with texts and pictures of Finn. Finn had a great time with Andrew and you can just tell Andrew knew exactly how to best care for my puppy. Thank you so much!!”
