“Ryan did a great job with Spenser. Daily outings, regular updates, and plenty of photos, we always knew our dog was in good hands. When our trip ran four days longer than planned, Ryan didn't skip a beat. We came home to a happy, relaxed dog. Would recommend him to any dog owner without hesitation.”
“Lisa and her family was amazing and very affectionate with my furbaby. She sent periodic updates and pics. My dog was very well cared for by Lisa and her children. Her dog bear is adorable and playful. Ollie enjoyed his time with Bear and Lisa’s family. Thank you so much for making the process so easy. I would definately book again in a heartbeat and recommend you to anyone!”
“I have a 12 yr cockapoo who requires daily medication. Noria has been our overnight sitter since April 2024. She only takes one dog in addition to her own sweet Milo. Noria is incredibly kind, smart, professional, loves dogs and has a gentle/loving way in interacting with my Kobe. She has been truly a blessing to find! My family and I are assured that when we leave Kobe for an overnight with Noria that he is being cared for as if he is part of her family. Kobe can be an anxious dog and slow to warm up to people. She has a patient and playful disposition. From the first time he met her he was happy, calm and it was evident that he felt secure in her care. The medication and feeding instructions have always been followed and understood. We appreciate the photos she sends and the updates as to how he is doing. Noria is a genuine individual who has been a complete joy for our family to work with. We are so happy that she has been caring for Kobe. When we go away we know he looks forward to his time with Noria and Milo!”
“Stephanie took amazing care of my cat, Milo! She gave him so much love and attention, and it was clear he was happy and comfortable while I was away. She sent me lots of pictures every day, which made me feel so much better. She even made a daily chart of everything Milo did, including how he was eating and playing. I could tell she really cared about him, and I would definitely trust her to watch Milo again. I highly recommend Stephanie!”
“We were very pleasantly surprised by how professional, kind, and attentive this couple was while caring for our dogs. Since we’re not from the Northeast, we were a little nervous about leaving our pups in an unfamiliar area, but they immediately put our minds at ease. They were incredibly welcoming, communicative, and genuinely caring. We felt confident that our dogs were in great hands, and we’ll absolutely book with them again the next time we’re in the area. Absolutely recommend!”
“Ronit was amazing!! She provided consistent feedback and photos from our dog’s stay with her. Such a warm and welcoming home. She’s so friendly and took great care of our baby!!”
“Bryan and Jacquelyn and very loving couple and took great care of Lucy twice. They welcomed her into their home like their own dog and sent us pictures and updates daily. Highly recommend them.”
About: I grew up caring for my family's black labs my entire life. I currently own two beautiful baby Shih Tzus, Tony & Guiness with my beautiful fiancé. They add so much joy to our lives and are a big part of our growing family. I invest a lot of time and effort into training them daily, to build trust and give them the best lives possible. Taking care of the animals in my life is a passion of mine, and I treat every pet like it's my own. I'm currently making pet care my full time job. After years of training athletes, I'm opting for a career that is rewarding in different ways. I'm available any time Monday through Friday and occasionally a weekend if I'm around and if it's a good fit. My apartment complex has many areas to walk outside, with sidewalks and open grass areas where I walk my boys. There is also a spacious indoor dog park in the basement of my complex where I take them to play, especially on rainy days. We do training both indoors and on walks outside, individually and as a family. I also expose my dogs to as many experiences as possible, bringing them to community events, outdoor dining, and social gatherings. Our family does not believe in leaving pets home alone all day every day, and want to give them as much stimulation and social interaction as possible.
“Tom was great! He’s very friendly and worked well with our dog Lyla! He gave great feedback on her stay so we weren’t worried about our dog at all! I’d highly recommend Tom!”
“Hunter is very happy with Lupe’s care. The fenced yard is great, he loves staying there and always wants to stay more and not come back home. Parent communication is great and I have a great sense of relief having my beloved pet child under Lupe’s boarding care.”
About: I live with two medium sized mutts and two fluffy orange cats, and until just recently, a fish and a snake. I have decades of experience caring for animals of all kinds, from puppies and kittens to seniors pets and those with illness and special needs. I am skilled with giving meds, including oral meds, eye drops and insulin injections, to both cats and dogs, and can usually trim a pet nails, if needed. I have engaged in formal, professional obedience training with own my dogs and would be happy to use what i learned to help reinforce some basic training with your dog(s) as well! I own a home-based retail business, but have a fairly flexible schedule. Let me know when you need services and I can usually fit it in to my day or evening. I listen carefully and will follow each client's instructions and preferences, and can reinforce any training the pet is being given. I would care for your pet as if they were my own.
“I was visiting from out of town and Mansi was a great sitter! My dog was comfortable with her and played well with her dog Cookie who is well behaved. I highly recommend Mansi and will definitely use her in the future when I visit the area!”
“Stephanie is a wonderful sitter. She is so sweet and caring. She is very accommodating and flexible. She will truly love your pet as her own and make them feel at home! My dog Apollo had a great time with Stephanie, and it’s great to know that my dog was in good hands. I would definitely book Stephanie over and over again!”
“I had a wonderful experience with this dog sitter! Communication was excellent throughout my trip, and I received daily updates and pictures, which gave me great peace of mind. It was clear from the photos and updates that my dog was comfortable, happy, and well cared for. Knowing my dog was in such good hands made it much easier to relax while I was away. I will definitely be booking with them again in the future and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter”
“Her space is incredible, plenty of room for our dog to run around. Initially our dog Coco was a little nervous (she's a velcro dog at home), but Tanvi checked in with us each day and worked to help Coco come out of her shell. After a couple days she did and had an absolute blast. We will definitely be working with Tanvi again, assuming she is available!”
“Ahmad took such great care of our dog Tripp! He made sure to give our dog frequent walks and countless hours of play time. He also sent us continual updates and photos, which we loved. We already booked our next boarding with him!”
“Joanne was fantastic and made me feel she would protect (and spoil) my two high-energy dogs. Joanne was very responsive and kept us updated frequently. I would 100% recommend. Thank you, Joanne!”
“Micheal is a great sitter. Before the first time boarding, he did a thorough walk through with me on my usual routine with my pet and my expectations, and he also provided the detailed information on the environment he provides for the boarding. His schedule is really flexible, is easy to reach and quick to respond. He took great care of my dog and my dog was really happy and relaxed while boarding. He updated me everyday on the status of the dog and also send great pictures. Thanks Micheal for providing a comfortable environment for my dog.”

“Mariia was wonderful! So kind and our cat adored her! She was very communicative and kept us very updated on our cat as we were away. We will definitely book her again!”
“Julia did a wonderful job caring for our cats. She even made friends with the very shy one whom she was able to eventually caox out from under a bed! She also handled some mishaps with great ease. A wonderful, responsible sitter.”
“Kaitlyn did a wonderful job taking care of our cat while we were away for two weeks. She played with, fed her, brushed her, cleaned her litter box daily, gave her flea medication, and even brought in our mail while we were gone. We would definitely recommend Kaitlyn and will definitely book with her again in the future!”
“Ronit is a life saver! I recently rescued a Maltipoo on 8/24, Ronit met with myself and Mia the next Saturday. We connected right away and booked! Ronit has come in twice a day to check on Mia and walk her while I work in the office. Mia loves Ronit and it’s evident in the pictures and videos documented by Ronit. Ronit is communicative and provides relevant updates on Mia. Ronit definitely has me at ease with taking care of my Mia.”
“As Callie walked up our driveway she was our Louie’s best friend. She connected with our dog, was very transparent with us. We spent time describing our dog’s behaviors, Callie was curious, knowledgeable and easy to talk to”
“Marc took very good care of our cats. He was very communicative and always sent pictures. He also made the time to meet up prior to the drop-ins to see the cats and go over details in person. Highly recommend!”
“Hadija was so wonderful to my cat Beau! I asked for lots of updates and she delivered- I never had to wonder what he was up to or if he was doing okay! She clearly really cares for animals deeply and was so sweet and loving to him. She also left my apartment cleaner than when I left it!”
“Jennifer is extremely trust worthy, kind, reliable, responsive and all around our favorite pet sitter. She’s our go to whenever we go out of town, and our spoiled kitties need to be looked after.”

“Noelle was AMAZING. Communication was excellent, her knowledge of cats is great. She looked after my 2 cats for a week. One had some medical needs and she handled them like a pro. In her photos, I could see the cats were snuggling her and happy. What more could a cat mom ask for??”
“Laura was absolutely great!! She took the effort to meet me a few times prior, so we could practice and learn how to do my cat's inhaler therapy and she was able to consistently do it for him this time! Very very pleased with the outcome!”
“Courtney was amazing with my beasts! Super responsive - super responsible! My scaredy cat who’s terrified if everyone took to her immediately! So glad I’ve found someone I feel so comfortable trusting my babies with!”

“Kumud and her family were wonderful. She was very attentive and very thorough making sure our pup Theo was properly taken care of. Kumud has a fun and caring family that make it a very fun environment for all types of dogs. Will definitely be back for more doggy day care!”
“Josephine’s first stay with Pardeep was seamless. Pardeep was very accommodating with my schedule and provided a safe, calm, enjoyable day for Jo. He kept me up to date on her as the day went on and that is always reassuring. His dogs were friendly and respectful which I greatly appreciate due to Josephine being a senior. I would gladly recommend him and will seek his care for Josephine again soon.”
“Lupe was amazing from the initial conversation online to meeting in person. I could feel that our dog was in safe and reliable hands and he took such good care of him and got the best photos. Can’t wait to use him again!”
“Esther took amazing care of Enzo! This was one of his first daycare experiences, and she made us feel completely at ease. She kept us updated with photos and a detailed summary of his day, which we really appreciated. I highly recommend Esther to anyone looking for someone who is caring, attentive, and trustworthy. We will definitely be booking with her again. Thank you, Esther, for taking such great care of Enzo!”

About: Experience helping raise puppy/younger dogs and training, also have experience with adult/senior foster dogs. Includes walking, bathing, trips to the dog park, feeding, training, treat/crate training I also looooove brushing dogs, the fluffier the better! I like to stay home on weekends with my senior dog Sapphire. Shes a rescue and very calm (she doesn’t bark) and absolutely loves other dogs! We love to take walks and play on the patio outside. I am pretty much free from Wednesday evenings-Saturday nights! Although I live in an apartment, I keep my living room and general space wide and accessible which is easier and less stressful for the dogs. I have a back patio we can play on (not black so the heat won’t hurt their paws), and have a park and yard across the street! I will give your pup lots of love and cuddles and they will definitely be a little spoiled! I also will feed them in a separate area from my dog but bring them back together to play :)
“We were desperately looking for a dog sitter at the last minute and was so happy to find Emma! I have a senior dog who has one eye, partially deaf and she was amazing with him. My other dog a lab, who is full of energy found a new friend, their dog Mack! If I could give her 10 stars I would! Thank you Emma!”
About: I've been around dogs my entire life and have experience caring for a variety of breeds and sizes, from two Shih Tzus at the same time to a 90-pound Boxer, and now my lovable English Bulldog. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I'm comfortable with different personalities, energy levels, and routines, and I understand the importance of providing pets with patience, attention, exercise, and lots of affection while their owners are away. I work from home Monday through Friday, which allows me to provide consistent attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. My schedule is flexible, and I'm available for early morning and evening walks, daytime boarding for pets with light activity needs, and boarding on weekends. I'm also available for weekday care and boarding after 5 PM. Because I'm home most of the day, pets can enjoy regular potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of affection in a calm, comfortable environment. Pets in my care are treated like family. I have a securely fenced yard for safe outdoor time and a friendly English Bulldog who gets along well with other pets. I typically accept dogs under 50 lbs but am happy to care for other pets as well. I have experience with puppies, senior pets, and pets with special needs, including administering medications when needed. For boarding, pets are rarely left alone for more than an hour, and I do my best to maintain their normal routines so they feel comfortable, safe, and stress-free while you're away.
“Tom is very easy to talk to and very accommodating. Communication was quick. Tom also sent a lot of pictures in which my dog Toby seemed very happy and relaxed. Definitely will be back. Highly recommend.”
“Noria took the time to meet up with me the day prior to make sure my dog could meet her. She took great care of her, sent me pictures throughout the day, it was easy to tell my dog didn’t want to leave upon being picked up! Highly recommend her and would gladly book again.”
About: Your pets safety and comfort are my top priorities! I grew up in a house full of dogs, cats, birds and small animals. When I was 8 I had my own horse and started working at the stable. As an adult Ive always had at least 2 dogs (up to 7 at one time), cats, birds and even a few reptiles (from my sons). Animals are my happy place and I will care for yours like I do my own. I have 20 years of experience dog, cat and bird sitting for others. Your pet will get plenty of exercise and snuggles with me. If I’m watching your pets in my home I prefer smaller dogs only. I have been pet sitting full time for the past 5 years. I retired from my corporate job in 2021. I live with my spouse, 2 adult children and 3 small dogs. I am home full time to care for your pet and mine. My husband and adult children are also there part time to provide extra pets and snuggles. I have a fenced in yard and 3 friendly small dogs. They have full run of the house including snuggling on my couch and bed. I am home full time to care for your pet and mine. I will care for your pet like it’s my own baby.
“Very grateful for Stefanie - after things went wrong for me at work, she was flexible to extend doggy day care past the original agreed upon time. She was communicative, sharing photos and updates throughout the day; I know Pico was well cared for!”
About: I have been around dogs since my childhood. I had a German Shephard and a Pomeranian growing up who I used to walk, feed and play with. I am currently working from home and I have lot of time to take care of dogs on weekends and during weekdays. I would have time before 13 pm and after 4 pm on weekdays and on all time on weekends I have a single family home and have lots of space around to walk the dog and play with it. Inside the home there is a living and family room for dog to roam around.
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!
“I commend Jiyao for the great care provided to my dog, Halo, during my initial Rover experience. Jiyao's patience, enthusiastic approach, and excellent communication ensured my dog's safe and happy return. His services are also competitively priced! We will gladly utilize his services again.”

“I’ve had a great experience with Ronit so far! She came to our house for an initial meet and greet so she could get to know Rooney and make sure it was a good fit. Rooney can be a little territorial with new people in the house, and I really appreciated how calm and patient she was with him. She let him investigate her and get comfortable before trying to interact with him and never rushed him. When she came back for his first walk the following week, everything went great! She said Rooney was a very good boy, and he seems to have accepted her already. 😊 It gives me a lot of peace of mind knowing he’s with someone who understands dogs and took the time to earn his trust. I’m very happy we found Ronit and would definitely recommend her!”
About: Animals have always been at the center of my life. I share my home with four cats (three traveled with me from Ukraine and one rescued from Houston) and a Bernese Mountain Dog who’s training to become a certified therapy dog. I work remotely, so I’m home all day and able to give pets constant attention. Before moving to the U.S., I co-founded an adoption center in Ukraine dedicated to rescuing and rehoming critically ill stray cats. I’ve completed multiple courses in animal behavior and publish freelance articles about the latest research in pet care. My dog has completed four manners courses and holds all his certificates, and I create human-grade treats in a professional dehydrator (and planning to start a business), so my furry guests are welcome to sample them if they have no allergies. We have a spacious home with a fenced yard, two guest rooms to separate our furry guests if needed, and a pool for supervised dog play. I work remotely only a few hours a day, so I have plenty of time to care for your pet. I’m also very physically active, ensuring your furry friend will never be bored. I create a calm, pet-friendly environment and keep routines consistent to reduce stress. In my home or yours, I follow the owner’s instructions carefully, maintain secure doors and gates, and use positive reinforcement for safe play. I keep food, water, and litter areas clean and monitor pets closely during walks or outdoor time.
“Ken was great for our pug puppy's first walk! He was accommodating and super communicative, which made planning easy — a nice change from other local walkers who can be slow to respond. He was responsible with our pup, and she clearly had a great time. Highly recommend!”
“Yana came through for us and our sweet boxer like a champ! She accepted a last minute request for a dog walk, communicate well throughout, and provided service above and beyond.”
About: As a lifelong animal lover and proud German Shepherd mom, I bring hands-on experience with pets of all kinds, from puppies and seniors to anxious, reactive, and differently-abled dogs. I’ve also cared for cats, birds, bunnies, fish, and geckos, so no pet is too unique! My approach is warm and nurturing by nature, but I adapt to whatever your pet needs. Structured and calm for reactive dogs, playful and patient for puppies, and gentle and attentive for seniors. Every animal deserves to feel safe and loved, and that’s exactly what I deliver. I am currently available during day time, and open to taking on clients in the afternoon if available. Can do overnight sittings Sunday- Wed, and can do multiple visits in the day I am available to take care of pets in your home, whether it’s a walk, sitting or play session. Will adjust dependent on the weather and pet needs
“Julia did a great job watching Nala. She walked her each day, made sure she had food and water. Julia was contientous of Nala around other dogs in the neighborhood and did a nice job of walking her and keeping her safe and Julia kept me up to date with Rover cards and pictures of my puppy.”
“Marc was great with our dog Penny. After just a meet and greet and one walk, she was so excited to see him the third time you would think he was part of our family. Also, I like the detailed feedback he gives about how she does on walks.”
About: I’ve always gown up with dogs and I have plenty of experience. I’m always happy to help when needed. I can also provided boarding as needed. I’m currently working full time but I can return home during the day for works and I am free all weekends. Scheduling may vary as needed. I can follow set schedules and ask questions when needed. I do prefer for houses to have cameras so all parties involved are aware of all activity that goes on in the home.
“Robert was great with Lacy! He was communicative, reliable, and incredibly attentive throughout both visits. He sent updates and photos, took great care of her, and even went above and beyond when she had an upset stomach and an accident in her crate. It gave us a lot of peace of mind knowing she was in good hands while we were away. Lacy clearly enjoyed her time with him, and we’d happily book Robert again!”
About: I've always loved animals and used to volunteer at an animal shelter when I was younger. I also got my first dog 10 years ago--she is my best friend and I love her more than anything :) I'm responsible for grooming, feeding, and walking her, plus regular check ups to make sure she's healthy. My favorite thing to do though is playing with her and cuddling! In regard to my schedule, I am currently working full time from 9-5pm, Monday through Friday. Any other times outside of that window I am available! I am also going on vacation from August 8 to August 15. Since I am a pet owner myself, I am able to take care of your pet(s) in any way needed. I am able to understand different personalities and needs among various animals and adjust accordingly!

“Ryan did a great job with Spenser. Daily outings, regular updates, and plenty of photos, we always knew our dog was in good hands. When our trip ran four days longer than planned, Ryan didn't skip a beat. We came home to a happy, relaxed dog. Would recommend him to any dog owner without hesitation.”
“Lisa and her family was amazing and very affectionate with my furbaby. She sent periodic updates and pics. My dog was very well cared for by Lisa and her children. Her dog bear is adorable and playful. Ollie enjoyed his time with Bear and Lisa’s family. Thank you so much for making the process so easy. I would definately book again in a heartbeat and recommend you to anyone!”
“We were very pleasantly surprised by how professional, kind, and attentive this couple was while caring for our dogs. Since we’re not from the Northeast, we were a little nervous about leaving our pups in an unfamiliar area, but they immediately put our minds at ease. They were incredibly welcoming, communicative, and genuinely caring. We felt confident that our dogs were in great hands, and we’ll absolutely book with them again the next time we’re in the area. Absolutely recommend!”
“Ronit was amazing!! She provided consistent feedback and photos from our dog’s stay with her. Such a warm and welcoming home. She’s so friendly and took great care of our baby!!”
“Bryan and Jacquelyn and very loving couple and took great care of Lucy twice. They welcomed her into their home like their own dog and sent us pictures and updates daily. Highly recommend them.”
“Hunter is very happy with Lupe’s care. The fenced yard is great, he loves staying there and always wants to stay more and not come back home. Parent communication is great and I have a great sense of relief having my beloved pet child under Lupe’s boarding care.”
About: I live with two medium sized mutts and two fluffy orange cats, and until just recently, a fish and a snake. I have decades of experience caring for animals of all kinds, from puppies and kittens to seniors pets and those with illness and special needs. I am skilled with giving meds, including oral meds, eye drops and insulin injections, to both cats and dogs, and can usually trim a pet nails, if needed. I have engaged in formal, professional obedience training with own my dogs and would be happy to use what i learned to help reinforce some basic training with your dog(s) as well! I own a home-based retail business, but have a fairly flexible schedule. Let me know when you need services and I can usually fit it in to my day or evening. I listen carefully and will follow each client's instructions and preferences, and can reinforce any training the pet is being given. I would care for your pet as if they were my own.
“Her space is incredible, plenty of room for our dog to run around. Initially our dog Coco was a little nervous (she's a velcro dog at home), but Tanvi checked in with us each day and worked to help Coco come out of her shell. After a couple days she did and had an absolute blast. We will definitely be working with Tanvi again, assuming she is available!”
“Ahmad took such great care of our dog Tripp! He made sure to give our dog frequent walks and countless hours of play time. He also sent us continual updates and photos, which we loved. We already booked our next boarding with him!”
“Micheal is a great sitter. Before the first time boarding, he did a thorough walk through with me on my usual routine with my pet and my expectations, and he also provided the detailed information on the environment he provides for the boarding. His schedule is really flexible, is easy to reach and quick to respond. He took great care of my dog and my dog was really happy and relaxed while boarding. He updated me everyday on the status of the dog and also send great pictures. Thanks Micheal for providing a comfortable environment for my dog.”
“Sayak is so wonderful. Sam was happy while away from home her first time. Pictures every day. She seems to have learned some manners while she was away. Will definitely be using Sayak again. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of my baby girl.”
“Pardeep was incredibly responsive to all my questions. Throughout Grady’s stay, I received regular updates with great photos so I always knew how things were going. It was clear he cared for Grady and treated him like his own. I would absolutely recommend Pardeep to anyone looking for an attentive and caring place for their dog.”
“Emma, absolutely spoiled Kenzo! He had a blast with her, she took care of every need of our demanding cat. Kept us updated throughout and sent us loads of photos. Can’t thank her enough for the amazing hospitality!”
“Very happy with Foxy first visit. Just as anyone, I was concerned leaving my dog in a new home, specially mine that is a bit scared of things and people. Charlene was very helpful explaining how things were going, how the adaptation was evolving, sending pictures and notes. Overall, extremely happy and I will leave my dog with her for another 2 weeks, which should speak by itself.”
“Elliot had a wonderful stay with Thana and Subangi who were very good hosts. We really appreciated the frequent photos being sent and it is clear that they are very much dog lovers. Would definitely recommend them.”
