“Max and his family always take great care of Cali. Max sends me photos and keeps our very active dog busy on long walks, hikes and trips to the beach. We have used Max for boarding multiple times and never have to worry about Cali as his family showers her with love and attention. We can’t wait to book Max again.”
“I needed a last minute boarding solution for 2 dogs and decided to check out Rover.com. I contacted Monika who was very responsive and accommodating. She had my dogs for 5 nights and based on pictures and texts, the dogs were made to feel at home and they had plenty of furry and human friends to play with. Monika has a nice fenced in yard for her pups to run and play in. She has knowledge of how dogs socialize, and it made me feel at ease as one of my pups is a little nutty. Taking care of the dogs is a family affair and much appreciated. We would definitely board our dogs with Monika again.”
“Neli is great! We cannot recommend her enough! She took good care of our dog Toby and sent us regular updates, videos and photos. She communicated any concerns punctually which gave us peace of mind. Her house is super clean and she has a nice backyard with a small fence which was great for our little dog. Toby came home so happy and relaxed. We will definitely book her again.”
“Thank you Kimberley for taking care of Vito. Your kindness and knowledge of my senior dog was incredible. I want to also thank you for your patience with me as I was a first time user of Rover and was a little awkward in using the app. I enjoyed my time at my event because I knew Vito was in safe hands. Thank you.”
“Catherine was wonderful with Pippa! She was incredibly kind and thoughtful, and kept us updated throughout her stay, which gave us great peace of mind. We could tell Pippa was in great hands, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with Catherine again. Highly recommend!”
“Lenny was very warm and welcoming. She took good care of Oreo and kept me posted with daily activities with messages, pictures and videos. Oreo was very happy. Will definitely keep Oreo with Lenny again!”
“Margaret is so nice and made us feel comfortable right away. She kept us updated on our pup throughout the stay. She’s very good with communication, confirmed the stay and answered us right away. We would definitely have our dog stay with her again.”
“Whitney and Michael were so welcoming to our labradoodle, Georgy! Georgy loved hanging out with their two dogs. She seemed to really be treated like part of the family.”
“I never worry at all when we leave our young dog with Bob. He truly treats him like he was his own. Very attentive and accommodating. He has a wonderful fenced in yard where our pup can run around to his heart content without fear of getting out. Our Teddy is very social and Bob arranges some play dates with neighboring dogs which is great. Bob always sends pics and updates us throughout the stay. I highly recommend Bob for a stress free time away knowing your pet will be in very good hands.”
“I highly recommend Marsha and her husband. My Betty is very shy around other people and they took their time with her as she acclimated into their home. I highly recommend them if you are looking for a reliable boarder. I will for sure be using their service again.”
About: I have worked on a dog therapy farm caring for over 30 dogs, all different breeds, ages and temperaments. I would walk, feed, and care for the dogs. I had a pet cat growing up, and currently have a 8 year old, 100 lb American Akita that I rescued from a kill shelter with severe anxiety and behavioral issues - so I know how to handle difficult dogs. I also have dog sat my sister’s newborn dachshund puppy and her 2 year old rescue mutt. I am familiar and comfortable with all dogs and cats. Most importantly, I love them and will care for them with the respect and adoration they deserve! Im not working at this time, so I have all day to spend with your furry friend! I am available for walking, check-ins, or dog/cat sitting and will give them my full attention! I have a huge yard, although it is not fenced in, and I do have a dog at home. However, he is friendly and can be separated from your pet if needed, but he’s there for company if they want! I live in a quiet, foresty area, so plenty of long luxurious walks. I can crate your furry friend as well. In your home, I am fully comfortable sticking with walking/feeding schedules, and can adhere to your pets needs in their own environment!
“Our Winnie has stayed with Patty twice. She was very accommodating to our travel plans which made the arrangements easy. Pics during her stays are always nice to receive. Our pup can be a handful and thankfully Patty survived! I would safely recommend Patty to other pet owners.”
About: I've had pets in my home all my life and have always helped care for them. Including: dogs, rabbits, rats, lizards, and fish. Dogs have always been my favorite animal and I love caring for them by walking them in interesting places or feeding them, even sleeping with them! I finally got a dog of my own at 15 and for the past several years have walked her weekly. Now I have 2 and have learned to manage them both while walking simultaneously. I try to go on light hiking trails or to parks, switching up the location every time. I am currently free most weekends. On Fridays, I'm free after 2 PM typically, but occasionally my girlfriend will be free, in which case she can take dogs on Friday morning for boarding. Just ask and I'll let you know when I'm available on a particular Friday. In my home, my dogs are well-fed with a healthy diet of kibble twice a day, eggs in the morning, and chicken strips at night. They each get baths once every few weeks. We also always prefer they are never alone for more than a few hours at a time. If we leave even for one night, we make sure we have someone visit them every few hours for feeding and letting out. Otherwise, we make sure they feel as loved as possible with lots of petting and sitting together!
“I was completely confident leaving my dog with them. They consistently provided updates with pictures and meal reports, which assured us of their responsible care.”

“Molly was great…..she spent time with Spanky and gave him all the attention he needed! Would definitely use Molly again for pet sitting services….very sweet and reliable!”
“Laura was amazing. She was very caring with my 13 year old dog. She even carried her down the stairs because she had a hard time with her back legs. Laura carried her outside also so my dog didn’t have to maneuver more stairs. She kept us updated and send video and pictures. I would totally recommend Laura. She is professional, caring, friendly and knowledgeable. She hand fed my dog to make sure she ate. She was on time with her visits. Again, I would highly recommend Laura.”
“Halle is always responsible and communicates well with me ! Millie loves her walks, bellyrubs and cuddles with Halle !!!! We feel comfortable going to dinner or doing our errands and knowing Halle is spending time w Millie! 🐾💗”
About: I've been an animal lover my entire life and have over 20 years of experience caring for dogs and spending time with pets of all kinds. While I'm newer to providing dedicated cat care services, I've cared for family and friends' cats over the years and previously lived in a home with three cats, which gave me experience with their unique personalities, routines, and needs. I understand that every cat is different - some love attention and playtime, while others prefer a calm, quiet presence and a little extra patience. I'm happy to follow your cat's routine closely, whether that means feeding, litter box care, playtime, medication reminders, or simply providing companionship while you're away. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to have someone trustworthy caring for your beloved pet. I'll treat your cat with kindness, patience, and respect, and I'll provide updates and photos so you can feel confident they're happy and well cared for.

“Lisa Marie was excellent with our two high-energy dogs! She was prompt and a great communicator.

“Darya provided daycare for Watson for a week. Watson, who can sometimes have separation anxiety, was excited to see Darya every morning. Their dog Coco is a very nice dog and I was happy Watson would have a friend.”
“Kaela and her family are awesome. We really liked how responsive and accommodating she was. We needed to book a last minute reservation 2 days for our dog for July 4th, she quickly responded to confirm. Most importantly, seeing our dog happy when we picked her up the first day, and wagging her tail when seeing Kaela the second day, showed us how happy the doggo was with Kaela. I'd definitely love to have Kaela take care of our dog the next time we are in the area.”

About: Hello! I have been an avid animal lover my whole life. I chose to pursue my dream of caring for animals and graduated with a Bachelors degree in Zoology. Having been an animal care specialist at a wildlife safari for several years, you can expect all of your animal's needs will be met to the highest standard. I am trained in administering medications (injection and oral). While not a certified dog trainer, I have experience training a variety of different species. Your precious pooch will be staying in a ground level apartment with access to a yard. Endless adventures and cuddles will keep your pet happy and content while being away from their owners. If you have any questions do not hesitate to contact me. I am not currently working so being that I am home all day, I am available to tend to your dogs needs 24/7! Walks, potty breaks, play time, I will be on your dogs schedule and can send you updates as many times a day as you request. Your pets safety and comfort is my highest priority. In my home they are free to roam where they would like, while outside they will always be leashed. If they feel more comfortable having a crate in home we can arrange to have that for them as well.
About: I have pet-sat & walked the dogs of my friends & neighbors, from small to large, easier to more challenging. I have experience taking care of cats from kittens to seniors, & with administering medication. I also have personal & pet-sitting experience with smaller animals like ferrets, guinea pigs, & hamsters. I am a college student, so during the week I am available at select times in between or after classes, and on Saturdays I am available all day. I do not board in my home, but in your home, I would be able to walk, feed, play with, & clean up after your pet.
About: When your dog is with me he/she will be treated just like my own. My love for dogs has always been endless and I would love to give back the affection they give to us.

About: Hi, my name is Lovie. I’ve been pet-sitting for the past nine years! Growing up, we always had animals, including cats and dogs. It all started when I cared for my sister’s dog and gradually became the pet sitter for everyone in the family, including their friends. I feel incredibly grateful that I get to watch over everyone’s animals, and hopefully, you’ll entrust me as your pet sitter as well! My schedule is incredibly flexible. Since I own my own business and work from home, I can accommodate anyone’s schedule. Working with your pet won’t interfere with my work because I plan my schedule accordingly. I also take them for a few walks daily, depending on their exercise limitations. I strictly adhere to the food they’re permitted to consume! I understand the challenges of having a dog with sensitive health issues. My sister’s dog fell ill towards the end, so I gained valuable experience in caring for dogs with health restrictions. I shower them with love and affection, but also respect their need for personal space when required.
About: I really focus on structure and training not just basic walks and cuddles. I have hands on experience helping dogs with obedience recall and leash manners and I am comfortable following a family’s training plan or reinforcing commands your dog already knows. I especially enjoy working with puppies who need consistency and socialization and I am also happy to give senior dogs gentle walks slower routines and lots of quiet time. What sets me apart is that I treat every dog like a student calm patient and consistent while still making sure they get love play and plenty of mental stimulation. I am happy to send photo and video updates follow your schedule for treats and meds and create a routine that fits your dog’s personality instead of a one size fits all approach. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I am already used to being around dogs and building consistent schedules. I set aside time each day for walks play training reviews and check ins so pet care does not feel like an add on it just slots into my normal rhythm. I am also a student with flexible hours so I can plan walks visits or in home stays around your dog preferred times and your schedule. Treating pets like part of my routine helps me give them steady attention the same kind of structure they are used to at home. I care for pets in my home by giving them a quiet dedicated space where they feel safe, plenty of breaks outside, and regular meals and potty breaks on a schedule. I keep the environment calm and predictable, avoid overstimulation, and follow your instructions for treats, toys, and any training cues your dog already knows. If I am at a client’s home I keep the same routine, making sure your pet gets walks playtime, and cuddle breaks while respecting your house rules. I always check in with you first about anything unusual and send updates so you can feel at ease while you are away.
“We have been using Brianna for our dog Whiskey for a year, and we couldn't be happier! Brianna is always punctual, reliable, and communicates wonderfully with detailed updates and photos after every walk. Whiskey gets so excited the second they hear their key in the door. We always come home to a happy, tired pup. We cannot recommend her enough!"”

I love playing games with pups such as “go find it” (it involves treats that are approved by you for your pups and placing them around the house to work their minds) or find me (hide and go seek) and obviously the best walks ever!! If your pets has a favorite movie/show (I know everyone has one) please let me know and I will get that show/movie on ASAP!!! Depending where you are located I love going for walks especially on hiking trails so if your pup likes that we can definitely get that done! If your pup has separation anxiety let me know what soothes them, maybe it's a blanket with your scent or a favorite show/channel they like.

“Max and his family always take great care of Cali. Max sends me photos and keeps our very active dog busy on long walks, hikes and trips to the beach. We have used Max for boarding multiple times and never have to worry about Cali as his family showers her with love and attention. We can’t wait to book Max again.”
“I needed a last minute boarding solution for 2 dogs and decided to check out Rover.com. I contacted Monika who was very responsive and accommodating. She had my dogs for 5 nights and based on pictures and texts, the dogs were made to feel at home and they had plenty of furry and human friends to play with. Monika has a nice fenced in yard for her pups to run and play in. She has knowledge of how dogs socialize, and it made me feel at ease as one of my pups is a little nutty. Taking care of the dogs is a family affair and much appreciated. We would definitely board our dogs with Monika again.”
“Margaret is so nice and made us feel comfortable right away. She kept us updated on our pup throughout the stay. She’s very good with communication, confirmed the stay and answered us right away. We would definitely have our dog stay with her again.”
“Jaime was wonderful with our shy little girl. She took great care to help her feel secure during her first stay away from home and kept us well informed. We have booked a longer stay with her.”
“Yvette is the BEST. She truly cares about your pup just like her own. This is my second time having her watch my dog and she will be the only person I send my dog to. She goes above and beyond and loves your pet like her own. She even sewed up his toy that he chewed up!! Thank you so so much for everything!!”
“Gidget loved staying with Laura. She received a lot of attention and love, I would definitely recommend Laura and her family. They all made Gidget feel at home and loved the entire time she was there.”
“My dog, Roman, was extremely happy with the care that Lisa provided. This was the first time leaving Roman with a non-family member so we were nervous but Lisa made us and Roman feel extremely comfortable and Roman was happy above all! Thank you Lisa!”
“Meena and her husband are very responsible dog sitter. They sent photos of Sunny although it was just 1 day stay. They accommodated my request as well. I definitely like to my dog stay Meena's place in the future.”
About: I've had pets in my home all my life and have always helped care for them. Including: dogs, rabbits, rats, lizards, and fish. Dogs have always been my favorite animal and I love caring for them by walking them in interesting places or feeding them, even sleeping with them! I finally got a dog of my own at 15 and for the past several years have walked her weekly. Now I have 2 and have learned to manage them both while walking simultaneously. I try to go on light hiking trails or to parks, switching up the location every time. I am currently free most weekends. On Fridays, I'm free after 2 PM typically, but occasionally my girlfriend will be free, in which case she can take dogs on Friday morning for boarding. Just ask and I'll let you know when I'm available on a particular Friday. In my home, my dogs are well-fed with a healthy diet of kibble twice a day, eggs in the morning, and chicken strips at night. They each get baths once every few weeks. We also always prefer they are never alone for more than a few hours at a time. If we leave even for one night, we make sure we have someone visit them every few hours for feeding and letting out. Otherwise, we make sure they feel as loved as possible with lots of petting and sitting together!
“Jess is the best and takes care of my dog the way I would. I know he is in great hands when staying with her and I feel completely at ease. This last time she even administered his eye drops without any issues and I’m beyond grateful for her 💗 Chexy can’t wait to see you again!! Thank you 😊”
“Our pup Puzzles had a great time with Savi! It was her first time being boarded anywhere overnight, so I was a little nervous, but Savi was so kind, very communicative and sure to provide updates during Puzzles’s stay, which was only two nights! I could tell my puppy liked her, and she loves people who love dogs. Pickup and drop off were flexible enough for my needs, and Savi was very helpful when I struggled getting the crate in and out of my car ? I’d definitely recommend her services, and will see if she’s available next time I’m out of town!”
“This was our Zeno’s first time staying anywhere without us. At first, Zeno was a little nervous but adjusted fine after a while. You can tell William is good with dogs. He was patient, kind and reassured us that Zeno would be in good hands. William sent photos of Zeno hanging out in the back yard and updated me on the stay. I’d definitely book with William again.”
“Kiana is phenomenal!! My family was having trouble finding someone to watch our big dog over the Christmas holiday, and Kiana was a lifesaver. Daisy had the most wonderful time staying with her, and I really appreciated the lovely updates and cute photographs that she was able to send throughout the week-long stay. Thank you Kiana!”
About: When your dog is with me he/she will be treated just like my own. My love for dogs has always been endless and I would love to give back the affection they give to us. There is nothing better than a happy puppy/kitty and that’s exactly how your pup/kitty will be when with me. Any special requests or questions message me. Anything you think I should know just give me a heads up. Can’t wait to spend time with your pup/kitty and help you out whenever you need. I will always have your dogs best interest at hand. Hope to be able to watch your furry friend soon, thank you so much for you time :) -Alexa I currently work part time and have two dogs of my own at home. That being said, I am more than happy to care for your pet in your home and take them on walks! I unfortunately do not offer boarding or day care services in my home at this time, I am sorry for any inconvenience at this time.
“Letitia was great! She made sure to update me with pics and videos every day. I truly believe Captain enjoyed himself with her dog Bentley, her children and her fenced in backyard. Being that we live in a townhome community Captain doesn’t get the luxury to run around without leash. The best part about Letitia is Captain was the only dog she dog sat during the week bc she respected the fact that he’s not fully vaccinated yet. 😊 I’ll definitely book again! Thank you Letitia.”
