“I was nervous about going away because I have never left my dog for someone else to watch, especially for a week. Lorrie did a great job watching my pup and sending updates. I could tell he was well cared for and was happy with the experience”
“Dawn was amazing. Our dog is a puppy and she treated him as if he was her own. She sent a ton of updates and kept us in the loop at all times. We would definitely use her services again!”
“Susana was a Godsend for me. She was able to watch my dog over the Christmas holiday. I don't know what I would have done without her. Her home is just perfect for accommodating a large dog and the house was spotless. Her natural love for dogs was event in our meet and greet and my dog was overly thrilled to return to her home. I was a little nervous having someone watch my Gustav, but she put me at ease, sent pictures and played fetch with my dog. She also walked him and took him to the dog park. Without a doubt, I will be using Susana again in the future. I am so glad that I found her. She is also very conveniently off the GSP, which was another plus. Thank you again, Susana, for all you do.”
“William was a great sitter! Our doggie is quite nervous and he made her feel at home and even had a dog bed next to his since she was too scared to stay on his. We appreciated his frequent updates as well, with photos!”
“Thank you Bob for taking such good care of Beauty. The walks, the fresh water made me feel secure. Great understanding of dogs. Really appreciate that. She was happy for the rest of the day.”
“Anmol & Trupti we're extremely gracious during our meet and greet which I appreciated because they're not going to take any dog. We were hosting a party and they even drove Dash back to our home late in the evening for our convenience. We wanted him protected while we had a big family party in the yard fearing that you could get out through an open gate. I will absolutely reach out to them next time Dash needs to be boarded. I highly recommend this family of loving dog owners.”
“Kevin is great with my dog Mocha. I feel at ease knowing she is in his care. Mocha always comes back as a happy pup, having been able to sniff around the yard and getting plenty of playtime and cuddles”
“Jonathan and Rebecca were fantastic sitters! They are extremely communicative and accommodating. Our dog, Mirchi, loved hanging out with their dogs and that gave me peace of mind that she always having fun. We’ll go to Jonathan and Rebecca next time we need a sitter :)”
“Nicole was absolutely excellent. Provided tons of feedback, photos, videos, and lots of fantastic communication. She loved my pup just as if it were her own, which really put me at ease for my first stay with her. I couldn't recommend a better sitter for your pup!!”
About: In 2025 I decided to go full time and start my own pet care business. I am fully bonded & insured! I love all animals but the anxious ones are really where I shine. I will meet your pet where they’re at. I’m Canine + Feline CPR & first aid certified, I have previous experience from working in a grooming salon (not a groomer though!) and am serious about continuing education— I’ve pursued additional certifications as well as a dog training apprenticeship and continue to do so. Additionally, I run an in-home daycare for small dogs. I have an employee who helps me with this and is trained to the same standards. Please reach out with any questions. Since making the full-time pivot to pet care, my schedule now has the flexibility fit around the needs of your pets. For walks, our walk doesn't officially "START" until your dogs paws hit the pavement! Your dog gets the full 30 minutes with no corners cut. This is true for all of my services. I will care for them like they are my own dogs— their safety is my top priority, and I know how difficult the transition can be for pups when their parents are gone and will do everything in my power to make that easier for them.
“Yvette took care of our dog who normally gets very sad when we leave her and had a great stay with Yvette!! Yvette sent us plenty of pics and updates and videos during the 3 weeks she stayed with her and it was so nice to constantly be in touch. Our dog adjusted extremely quickly and I know all of her needs were met and then some. Yvette goes the extra mile to ensure great care and you can tell she really has the dog's best interest always in mind. I cannot recommend highly enough!!”
“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.”
“Meaghan was an amazing dog sitter! She took exceptional care of our Yorkie, ensuring she was well-fed, exercised, and happy throughout our time away. Meaghan sent regular updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind. Her love for animals is evident, and our dog clearly enjoyed time with her family and their dog. We highly recommend Meaghan for anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. Thank you, Meaghan, for your outstanding service!”
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!

From the very beginning, she was highly professional, reliable, and communicative, sending regular updates and pictures that gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that she genuinely loves animals, and my cat warmed up to her immediately. I highly recommend Bianca to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter, and I will definitely be hiring her again in the future! Bianca, thank you very much!”

She was very communicative, gave lots of update pics and kept us in the loop so we felt very comfortable having our kitties in her hands! Already booked the next sitting! Would 100% recommend :)”
About: I’ve been lucky to care for cats most of my life and have spent over 10 years fully responsible for my own. I currently live with my sweet (and opinionated) cat Henry, and I truly enjoy getting to know each cat’s personality, whether they’re playful and social or need time to warm up. I’m patient, observant, and always adjust to what each cat needs. I understand that for many cats, this is their chance to get meaningful interaction during the day, and I’m happy to give them attention, affection, and enrichment if that’s what they want, or space and quiet if that’s what they prefer. I’m comfortable administering medications and always keep litter boxes extra clean because I know how much those little details matter. I’ve also had the chance to care for other people’s pets, and I’ve built quick bonds with even the shyest cats, which is something I’m really proud of. Friends and family regularly trust me to care for their pets, and I always treat that responsibility with the care it deserves. I’ll keep you updated with photos and check-ins so you can feel confident your cat is safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you’re away.
“Bridget was great with our fur baby Liam. Its always stressful to go on vacation and have to leave Liam home, but we were reassured he was ok. Bridget sent many pictures and was attentive and very communicative. We will definitely be contacting her the next trip.”
“I would leave more stars if I could! Lily did a FANTASTIC job caring for my 2 cats while I was away. My cats eat only wet food, several times a day, so automatic feeders had to be set up daily. Lily did a great job following the instructions on how to feed them and it was nice returning from a long weekend away to a clean home- clean cat bowls, clean litter box, clean eating area, etc! I cannot thank Lily enough and I will be hiring her again soon!”
“Heather is very dependable and caring towards our Moochi. Although it had been many months since Moochi had seen her, he remembered her and rubbed against her when he saw her. Heather is also a very good communicator. I highly recommend Heather!”
“Great job by Kamryn, was able to help take care of our cats and even brought in packages from our doorstep while we were out. Very helpful and nice, will be rebooking with her in the future and would recommend her to anyone who needs pet sitting/ drop in visits.”
“Allison was such an amazing sitter. We got pictures and updates daily. She loved on my Miso as if he was her own. I will absolutely be using Allison as our boarding sitter again. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for taking care of our boy🫶”
“Dina is wonderful, was very accommodating to our needs, even changed dates for me last minute when I made an error in booking. She is kind and we felt very comfortable with our furry sons in her care ❤️ we loved getting pics of them! Would absolutely use Dina again and recommend her for your pet sitting needs!”
“Wonderful!!! Ive been doing Rover as a sitter for a few years, but this was the first time we needed a sitter ourselves. We were so nervous but Kim was AWESOME!!! Very attentive and sweet. We will definitely book her again in the future!”
“everything went exceptionally well with Kevin taking care of Darla and River. Kevin was punctual, followed instructions that were left and interacted with the dogs extremely well. I give him 5 STARS and will use him when his services are required in the future.”

“Alley took amazing care of our dog Libby. She was communicative and thoughtful. She gave Libby puzzle toys and lick mats for some stimulation while it was too cold to play outside. Would highly recommend”
“Lorrie was fantastic with my dog Stevie! I could tell from our meet and greet that she is very knowledgeable about dogs. My dog is very scared of people he doesn’t know and hates when people approach him. Lorrie took her time, letting Stevie get comfortable and reading his body language when he needed space. Then, at his first daycare, Lorrie was extremely communicative with me, sending lots of pictures and videos about how Stevie was acclimating. So excited to use her daycare services again!”
“Dawn is the best! Benny is our first ever pup as a family, so we were very nervous leaving him for the first time overnight, but Dawn took care of our dog with exceptional care and love. Communication was great from the start. She is responsive, provides regular updates, sends adorable photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away from him, and even gave our puppy a bone to play with that helped with his teething problem. It’s clear that she genuinely enjoys spending time with animals, especially ours ☺️ and we will definitely be using her services again in the future. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!”
About: What sets me apart is the level of care, attention, and trust I bring to every pet I watch. I’ve cared for friends’, neighbors’, and clients’ pets both in my home and during overnight stays, so I’m very comfortable adapting to each pet’s routine and environment. I have experience with a wide range of needs, including administering medications and injections, and I’m attentive to any changes in behavior or health. Whether it’s an energetic puppy who needs structure and play, or a senior pet who requires a gentler, more patient approach, I tailor my care to what makes them feel safest and happiest. I also prioritize communication, making sure owners feel at ease with regular updates and photos. My goal is always to make pets feel comfortable, loved, and stress-free while their owners are away. Caring for pets is something I genuinely enjoy, so it’s not something I try to “fit in”, it’s something I intentionally make time for and build my routine around. My approach to pet care is always tailored to each pet’s routine, personality, and needs. In a client’s home, I do my best to maintain their pet’s normal schedule to keep things as stress-free as possible. This includes feeding, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions the owner provides. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, affection, and exercise, while also keeping their environment clean and secure. I’m respectful of the home and aim to leave everything just as I found it. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, calm, and comfortable environment where they can feel relaxed and at ease. I keep a consistent routine for feeding, potty breaks, and playtime, and I make sure they get lots of supervision and affection throughout the day.
“Christina was awesome! It was my first time using a sitter from the rove app and she couldn’t have made the experience any better. I felt completely comfortable leaving my pup there all day! She truly was amazing, she sent photos, videos, and updates throughout the day which made me believe my pup was in great hands and indeed she was. When I got to Christina’s house to pick up my dog she did not want to leave haha, will definitely be back!”
“Sarah was so great! She took wonderful care of Lady and was very easy to get in touch with. She bonded with Lady quickly and made sure she was well taken care of. I would highly recommend her if you ever need a dog sitter, walker, etc. Thank you Sarah!”
“Thank you for taking such great care of Oreo. You guys are amazing, and Oreo had a wonderful time. The photos and videos you shared made us feel connected to him even when we were apart. We truly appreciate everything you did!.”

“Brian And his wife were so lovely with my dog! Before His first daycare day, we did a meet and greet where they asked throughtful questions about his meal sensitivities and tried to make him feel very comfortable. Would recommend 😊”
“Jonathan was excellent. He introduced my dog to his own dogs so that they can get comformtable around each other since my dog is afraid of big dogs. Jonathan kept updating me throughout the day with pictures and text messages. I was very happy with the service and care my pet got from Jonathan and will definitely go back to them in futuure.”

“Sean and Dakota went above and beyond to make sure my puppy was happy and comfortable. They are always quick to respond and very kind and caring. It was very comforting to know my puppy was in such great hands while I was away. Highly recommend!”
“I can’t express enough how wonderful Sara was with our little Peanut. I had come to grips with the fact that I probably won’t be able to go anywhere this summer because I didn’t want to take my dog somewhere where they would crate her or where she would be with a bunch of other dogs until I found Sara. She was absolutely wonderful and she treated her like one of the family. She only takes one dog or one household of pets at a time which makes me feel even more comfortable. My puppy absolutely adored her and her family and so did I! Thank you Sara for all your did. I know you will see Peanut every time we are away or even just out for the day like we did today.”

About: I have had dogs my whole life, some being high energy who play all day and some low energy who love to just cuddle and relax. Ive had 4 different breeds, from Pitbulls, Labradors, Huskies, and a German Shepherd. I know what it takes to make a dog feel at home and loved even if their owner isn't home. I love dogs more than most of the human in the world and trust me when I say your dog will miss me when I leave. I currently am searching for a job post college and waiting to enter a Police Academy in the coming winter. So I am available almost everyday and almost all day. I do have a dog at home that I take care of so if She needs to be walked I will do her separately. I have a energetic Husky at home so I know all about the high energy dogs, when I lived with my parents I had 2 couch potatoes so I know the best of both worlds. I love walking and running myself so having a furry friend with me just makes it even better.

About: Hi, I’m Lauren! I was a proud dog mom to two amazing girl dogs until recently, and I truly miss the joy of caring for a dog. While my family isn’t ready to have another of our own just yet, I’d love to help others by spending time with their furry family members. When I was young, I worked as a Seeing Eye Dog trainer, which gave me years of experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’m patient, reliable, and comfortable with everything from playful puppies to older companions who just want a calm walk and a cuddle. Whether you need drop-ins, walks, or overnight care, I’ll make sure your pup feels loved, safe, and right at home while you’re away. I work a hybrid schedule. Typcailly I work from home on Wednesdays and always Fridays. On the work from home days, I don't start until 10AM so I am free in the mornings and will take my lunch for the afternoon walks. In our home, we have an enclosed deck. Gate if needed to avoid the stairs. Nothing on the ground to chew. Pet free home. In other homes, I am always wondering where the pup is. I ensure to keep a close eye if they tend to be a trouble maker.

I am retired and looking for some new buddies to hang with. Hope to hear from you soon!! I can watch in my home if needed. I’m happy to have them stay for an overnight if needed. I’ll treat your buddy like they’re my own.

“I was nervous about going away because I have never left my dog for someone else to watch, especially for a week. Lorrie did a great job watching my pup and sending updates. I could tell he was well cared for and was happy with the experience”
“Dawn was amazing. Our dog is a puppy and she treated him as if he was her own. She sent a ton of updates and kept us in the loop at all times. We would definitely use her services again!”
“Susana was a Godsend for me. She was able to watch my dog over the Christmas holiday. I don't know what I would have done without her. Her home is just perfect for accommodating a large dog and the house was spotless. Her natural love for dogs was event in our meet and greet and my dog was overly thrilled to return to her home. I was a little nervous having someone watch my Gustav, but she put me at ease, sent pictures and played fetch with my dog. She also walked him and took him to the dog park. Without a doubt, I will be using Susana again in the future. I am so glad that I found her. She is also very conveniently off the GSP, which was another plus. Thank you again, Susana, for all you do.”
“William was a great sitter! Our doggie is quite nervous and he made her feel at home and even had a dog bed next to his since she was too scared to stay on his. We appreciated his frequent updates as well, with photos!”
“Anmol & Trupti we're extremely gracious during our meet and greet which I appreciated because they're not going to take any dog. We were hosting a party and they even drove Dash back to our home late in the evening for our convenience. We wanted him protected while we had a big family party in the yard fearing that you could get out through an open gate. I will absolutely reach out to them next time Dash needs to be boarded. I highly recommend this family of loving dog owners.”
“Kevin is great with my dog Mocha. I feel at ease knowing she is in his care. Mocha always comes back as a happy pup, having been able to sniff around the yard and getting plenty of playtime and cuddles”
“Sumit is a great pet sitter. He took care of Leo recently and paid attention to his needs. He took extra care to calm Leo down and made him at ease in the new environment. He kept sending occasional updates on Leo. I would recommend Sumit any day.”
“Harley was fantastic! She totally accommodated my 10 year old Labrador, who’s not the easiest to care for. She really loved him and did her best to make him feel at home and comfortable. She was very communicative about everything and sent lots of photos. Her house was clean and large enough for a 100lb lab. Her yard is big and fenced in. We will def be rebooking her! Thanks Leny 🫶🏼”
“Nicole was absolutely excellent. Provided tons of feedback, photos, videos, and lots of fantastic communication. She loved my pup just as if it were her own, which really put me at ease for my first stay with her. I couldn't recommend a better sitter for your pup!!”
About: In 2025 I decided to go full time and start my own pet care business. I am fully bonded & insured! I love all animals but the anxious ones are really where I shine. I will meet your pet where they’re at. I’m Canine + Feline CPR & first aid certified, I have previous experience from working in a grooming salon (not a groomer though!) and am serious about continuing education— I’ve pursued additional certifications as well as a dog training apprenticeship and continue to do so. Additionally, I run an in-home daycare for small dogs. I have an employee who helps me with this and is trained to the same standards. Please reach out with any questions. Since making the full-time pivot to pet care, my schedule now has the flexibility fit around the needs of your pets. For walks, our walk doesn't officially "START" until your dogs paws hit the pavement! Your dog gets the full 30 minutes with no corners cut. This is true for all of my services. I will care for them like they are my own dogs— their safety is my top priority, and I know how difficult the transition can be for pups when their parents are gone and will do everything in my power to make that easier for them.
“Yvette took care of our dog who normally gets very sad when we leave her and had a great stay with Yvette!! Yvette sent us plenty of pics and updates and videos during the 3 weeks she stayed with her and it was so nice to constantly be in touch. Our dog adjusted extremely quickly and I know all of her needs were met and then some. Yvette goes the extra mile to ensure great care and you can tell she really has the dog's best interest always in mind. I cannot recommend highly enough!!”
“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.”
“Jaimie took beautiful care of my gentle giant, Ollie. Ollie is 100 pounds of love and fluff and I was very anxious about leaving him because he is so attached to me. Jaimie made me feel at ease at our meet and greet and we got to meet her pup and cat. With a big fenced in backyard, lots of dog toys, and a comfy couch for lounging, Jaimie made me feel right at home. We told her that Ollie might be too nervous to eat, and she sent pictures and updates constantly. Ollie was eating in no time and Ollie came home happy and well fed. Ollie loves humans snd she sent pictures of her and the dog watching tv together at night and of Ollie with her daughter. I am happy to recommend her and will be using her again!”
“What a relief to find Vincent who was able to board our German Shepherd mix while we went away for almost a week. He sent us updates and we were happy our pet wasn’t alone. He was safe and got along with their beautiful lab mix-Scarlett. Thank you Vincent!”
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!
