“Dew dog sat my dog for 3 days and 2 nights. I am very happy with his stay. He was individually cared for, even though there were other dogs there. Dew sent emails and pictures daily. I would definitely use her again to watch my dog. Thank you Dew 🦋”
“Lovely family. They were very kind with our dog. Treated him like theirs and sent us pictures all the time. Making us felling very sure that our little one was fine and happy. We are very glad to find you and will meet again for sure.”
“Natasha and Hamir were wonderful sitters for Lino. They took the time and care to listen to our requests and instructions, and updated us daily on how he was doing, including photos. We could tell he was being cared for and he was really happy. Lino can be human-selective and indifferent to other dogs, and Natasha and Hamir respected that and live in an area where there is a lot of space from both possible triggers. We wouldn’t hesitate to reach out to them again for boarding!”
“Absolutely Incredible Dog Sitter! We couldn’t be happier with the care our Lia received while we were away. Maxine kept us updated which only confirmed that she was having a great time and was so well taking care off. We can’t thank her enough for providing such loving care. We’ll definitely be booking again in the future!”
“You will be hard pressed to find a better person than Katharine to take care of your fur child! We are so thrilled that we found her thru Rover. She could not be more kind and loving to my Katie. She takes her on wonderful walks, sending us great photos and frequent updates. I have complete peace of mind when leaving Katie with Katharine and know she’s in great hands. Katie thoroughly enjoys her visits with Katharine. Thank you Katharine! 🦮”
“Lovely and patient despite my dog being a lot more work than Irene had agreed to! There are beautiful wooded trails adjacent to Irene’s home and I would not hesitate to recommend the whole family for wonderful dog care.”
“I had a last minute request and Jomini responded almost immediately and saved the day. She asked questions to make sure my dog had the proper precautions to be outdoors at her place and checked with me about any specific schedule before drop off. She was super responsive and flexible with timing for drop off / pick up. She sent so many pictures of my dog and I could see he was having a great time!”
“I cannot recommend Denise highly enough! She took incredible care of my pup, ensuring she was happy and well-loved during my absence. Communication was seamless, and she provided regular updates and photos that put my mind at ease. When I returned, my dog was relaxed and clearly had a great time. I will definitely be booking again!”
“Craig took excellent of my dog Tucker. Craig’s large fenced in back yard was so thrilling to Tucker that he was very tired after the visit. I will be using Craig again on a regular basis. Thanks so much Craig”
“We only used Arsenii once so far but will definitely be going back. Oscar has a bit of separation anxiety but Arsenii's place provides a relaxed vibe and Oscar made himself right at home.”
“First off, huge happy thanks to Richard and Karen for saving our holiday travels after our house sitter canceled with barely over a weeks notice. My dog is a nearly 4 year old rescue, 65lb, strong as can be, and full of residual anxiety/stress/fear issues from whatever happened in his first year before. New situations, people, boxes on the counter… you name it, he freaks out (thankfully, he is chill with meeting new dogs). Richard and Karen put my worries to ease right away during our meet and greet. They are professional dog people, to say the least, and have loads of experience with dogs of all sorts, including rescues and foster fails. They also have a home situated next to a huge park (which will be a big joy for our dog if he gets comfortable enough on future trips to want walks). He made fast friends with Richard and Karen’s dog. Oh, and they sent a photo or two most days that he was with them. I am already looking at my calendar this week to set up time for Luke to stay with them again.”
About: I’ve taken care of my childhood dog from puppy to senior. I enjoyed training and grooming my puppy and making my senior dog a power bowl. I am a very active person - a hiker, marathoner, boxer, and cyclist, I can exhaust your furry babies however they want! And I particularly have a good sense of reading animal behavior, meaning if your dog needs a therapist, I am a very good listener;) I currently work flexible hours, so I have plenty of time to give your furry babies attention any time of the day. Boarding, walking and house sitting are all welcome weekdays or weekends. Boarding: I am in a 2bd condo with balcony without any pet in a quiet neighborhood. I am walking distance to a lot of trails (paved and non-paved) that your dog can take advantage of. Sitting: tell me your pet’s routine, I will be accountable!
“Communicated well throughout Fenced in backyard that looked like Hattie had a great time running around in Was kindly flexible with our pickup time because we were traveling from far for pickup and we had some uncertainty around traffic”
“Maddie was wonderful! Took perfect care of Sasha and checked in often about her during her stay. She was also very understanding and accomodating to some unfortunate tummy troubles Sasha had. Would definitely recommend Maddie!”
About: Hello, My name is Candice. I am a fur Momma to two Dogs. Princess Lola is a 7 year old Chocolate Labrador who is my gentle giant. She enjoys long walks with her dog friends and playing with her human brothers and sisters. Scrappy is a 14 year old Westie/ Bischon Frise mix who enjoys snuggles from his family and his bed. He is blind but navigates and acts like he can see. I did have a third fur baby that crossed the rainbow bridge last year as he lost his fight with cancer. My Brodie was a 13 year old Long Haired Chihuahua/ Papillon mix and in his younger years enjoyed playing nose soccer with his family. In his senior life he enjoyed snuggling up with his brother Scrappy most. My husband Craig and I are raising our 4 children ages 4-11. They have lived their entire lives with dogs. We are a family of dog lovers and cant wait to meet your fur babies. I have experience in caring for dogs ages ranging from puppy to senior. I also have experience administering oral medication. I have been a stay at home mother and homemaker for the past 11 years which allows me to have a very flexible schedule to care for your dog. I offer a variety of services. Outdoor dog walking from little to no incline for older dogs or dogs with walking difficulties to uphill or hiking for more active and energetic dogs. I can provide care in my home with my family or care in your home for play time, feedings, or to give medicine.
“Jessica was so amazing!! I felt so confident with my sweet girl Daisy being in her and her daughter’s hands. She got so much love and care. Jessica was so in tune with her needs and incredible at communicating with me. I could tell Daisy was so happy and comfortable. Highly recommend Jessica!”
“Audrey was fantastic! One of our dogs had an ear infection while we traveled and Audrey had no problem with medication administration. Our flight was delayed by almost a full day and she was so understanding and very accommodating. Her communication was great and our dogs loved their time with her and we would definitely love to have her watch them again!”

About: I've had cats my whole life and know how to make them feel at home. Guest cats stay in their own private room, completely separate from my resident cats, with fresh food, water, a clean litter box, and visits throughout the day. My home is calm and quiet and I treat every cat like my own.
About: I have hands-on experience caring for cats of all ages, including senior cats with more complex medical needs. I’ve regularly handled nightly medication routines, including giving pills, administering oral medications with syringes, hiding medication in food when needed, applying ear creams, and even giving insulin injections. I understand how important patience and a calm approach are, especially with cats who may be nervous or not feeling their best. I always prioritize their comfort while making sure medications are given safely and correctly. In addition to medical care, I’m experienced with feeding routines, litter box maintenance, and recognizing changes in behavior or health. Whether your cat is playful, shy, or requires extra care, I will make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well looked after while you’re away.
About: I have experience watching very different kinds of cats. No matter if your cat is outgoing or shy, I would love to give them the attention they need. I also have experience feeding and cleaning up litter boxes.
About: I have worked in a veterinary hospital for nearly four years as a kennel technician, caring for cats of all ages and medical needs. I am experienced in administering oral and topical medications, monitoring for health changes, and providing care for senior or special needs cats. My clinical experience allows me to see signs of stress or illness quickly, ensuring your cat stays safe and healthy while you are away.
“Maria took great care of Boo. He’s a quirky senior not so friendly kitty & Maria managed him well. I had regular updates & came home to an orderly house & “happy” cat. I highly recommend Maria & hope to call on her again!”
“It was such a relief to be able to go on vacation and know our cats weren't just being fed, but truly taken care of. Stacy was very communicative and we could tell she made good friends with our cats - they still ask when shes coming back. She came over in advance to get a lay of the land and meet them and learn all their hiding spots. She even took the litter when she left so we wouldn't have to deal with it. Stacy really was wonderful and knowing our cats were being loved by someone with such great experience while we were away was such a gift!”
“Gloria did such a wonderful job looking after our boy Cheddar. She was very thoughtful and attentive and went above and beyond her duty for doing drop in visits. We had about a foot of snow and she shoveled our driveway and walkway which was so thoughtful and we hadn’t expected her to do that since she was just doing drop in visits and no house sitting. We highly recommend Gloria as a pet sitter!”
About: I've owned and cared for animals my whole life, from cats and dogs to snakes and chinchillas. My fur babies are everything to me - I even have them forever tatted on me! My current English bulldog, Stella, is half-blind and all crazy. She is a protector and lover of my two girls, who have known and grown up with animals their whole lives. While a sweetheart, she remains separate from my boarded friends. I have experience caring for senior animals, shy and timid babies with, and large breed guardian dogs. I also enjoy volunteering at two of our local animal shelters and am raising a future veterinarian. I believe animals are the purest form of love and require nothing less in return. Whether my own or yours, you can trust that I'll care for them all the same ♥️ I'm available most days of the week and weekends. Pet care and motherhood are my full-time roles, and my daughter may often accompany me on my walks. My home has large yard and a separate family area where my boarded friends can have their own quiet, private space to hang out with me: hang on the couch, watch TV, or play outside. I have a large crate if needed and plenty of space.
“Another great experience!!! Jean always leaves my home so nice and my pets happy 😊. I was gone for quite a while this time (honeymoon), and I came home to two very happy cats, my mail inside, and plenty of food/water. I always feel so secure when I know she’s coming around and can actually relax and rest assured they’re in good hands :). No one else I would book with and look forward to having Jean around again!!! ♥️ as always, thank you!! ☺️”
“From the moment we met Diana my dog and kitten both responded to her with no hesitation- my dog loved her from first meeting. Our trip was extended and she was flexible with all the back and forth changes . Which we really appreciate and was reassuring! Not only did she add on last minute service, she also was ready to adjust payment ( credit) for scheduling changes . I am thankful to have found her, and will happily ask for continued help with Diana!”
“Cece is dependable and kind. My cat is 13 years old so I don’t like to leave him but I have a life that includes occasional traveling. I feel he is safe and secure with Cece.”
About: Our pets are a very special part of our families. They each have their own quirks and personalities, and they all bring so much love and joy to our lives. I will meet your pet’s needs, and spend time with them in the way they like the most. I have been a dog walker and pet care provider for 17 years now, and I still love my job! Each pet that I meet makes me smile. I like to think that I am able to give some of the happiness these animals bring to me, back to them. Over my 17 years of being a pet care provider, I have had experience with dogs of all different breeds, sizes and ages -from puppies to seniors. I am fully insured. I am willing to work with your pup on basic training, or put them in my car, for a short drive to a favorite walking area. If you need me to feed your dog or cat, please let me know. I can also spend time playing or cuddling with your dog or cat. When I am not enjoying the company of pets, I am drawing or painting pet portraits for commissions. I look forward to meeting your special pet. I will give them the activity, affection, and attention that is right for them. I am dependable, professional and most of all, caring. You can count on me to take good care of your pet, and you can feel confident, knowing that your pet is in exceptional hands, when you are not able to take care of them yourself. I have been walking dogs and taking care of pets during the day for 17 years now, and I spend my evenings drawing and painting pets for commissions as a pet portrait artist. It’s all about the animals with me! I would love to come to your home and walk your dog in your neighborhood, or perhaps drive them to a close by favorite walking area. Some dogs have invisible fence collars, and need to be driven off the property, or they live on busy streets, that are not safe streets to walk on. I can drive them to a quiet side street or a park, if you prefer. You can request a feeding, if you would like, and I could do a quick scan of the house for any unexpected accidents, and clean them up for you. I can do drop-in visit (15 minutes), or a full 30 minute walk or play in the yard. More time can be requested, if necessary. For cat care, I can clean the litter boxes, feed your cat/refresh their water, and play or cuddle with them. I can also take a quick scan of the house for messes for them also.
“I highly recommend Nicole. She took care of my 3 cats while away for 1 week. She made sure they were all fed and well cared for- sending me video updates. By accident my cleaning lady let them out but Nicole made sure they all came safely home. When I arrived home the place was spotless.”
“Marta is fantastic! I could tell from the moment I met her that she would be very confident and responsible. We have a very nervous and shy senior cat on prescription food, pill and supplements for kidney disease, and he hid under the bed when she came twice a day and at one point stopped eating. She was very patient and diligent about messaging with me and following instructions for different foods and treats to get him to start eating again. The house looked very neat when we returned. We already booked her for our trip in September!”

“Irene has made my experience using Rover so easy and carefree. This is my first time leaving my dog, and she is extremely confident with her handling. I enjoy the pictures and updates she sends me throughout the day too!”
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was a child. I owned two Miniature Pinschers growing up and I adopted one Australian Shepherd mix that has special needs as an adult. I trained all of my dogs from the time they were puppies until they passed away as seniors. I also volunteered at the Humane Society of Westchester. I've always enjoyed being around animals since I was young and animals tend to feel the same way about me. Animals who are usually timid around strangers are comfortable around me right away and they seem to trust me right away. I feel like connecting with animals (dogs specifically) is a gift that I have. Being a sitter is a great way for me to use that gift in everyday life. I'm able to adapt to the normal routine of the pets that I'm sitting in order to make the process as smooth as possible. I don't have a lot of room in my studio apartment so I'm only able to watch either 1-2 small dogs or one medium sized dog. Large dogs are too big for my apartment. If I'm at a client's home, I'll change my schedule to meet the needs of the pet. I believe all animals are unique and all have different needs in order to thrive in the environment that they're in. I'm willing to meet those needs by building my schedule around the animals that I'm sitting.
About: I've had cats and dogs my whole life and know how to make animals feel comfortable and cared for. I offer dog walking and cat boarding from my home in Yorktown Heights. Guest cats stay in their own private room with fresh food, water, and a clean litter box. For dog walking I keep things low stress, consistent, and fun. I work from home regularly so I'm around often and take every pet's routine seriously. I treat every animal like my own. I work from home frequently which means pets in my care are never left alone for long stretches. For dog walking I'm flexible on timing and can work around your schedule for morning, afternoon, or evening walks. For cat boarding, guest cats get visits multiple times a day including morning feeding, a midday check-in, and an evening wind-down with fresh food, clean water, and a scooped litter box. Weekends I'm generally very available and weekdays I can accommodate most requests with a little advance notice. I genuinely enjoy spending time with and meeting new animals so this isn't a job to me, it's a passion. I have a dog and two cats of my own so I know firsthand what animals need to feel safe and comfortable. Guest cats are kept in their own private, dedicated room completely separate from my resident pets, giving them a quiet space to decompress and settle in at their own pace. For dog walking I keep things calm and consistent, always on leash, through the safe residential streets of Yorktown Heights or local parks where my dog frequents himself. I pay close attention to each animal's personality and adjust my approach accordingly. Whether a pet is social and energetic or shy and cautious, I make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. My home is peaceful, clean, and genuinely pet friendly.

“Dew goes above and beyond for my puppy. Checks in regularly when he is in her care and even checks in when he is at home. As a first time user of a dog-sitter, I was anxious about leaving my puppy in someone else’s care. Dew almost immediately alleviated my concerns. I feel like her care has been a major benefit for me and for my puppy’s social development. Will continue to take advantage of Dew’s services for the foreseeable future. Highly recommended!”
About: I have been an animal lover my whole life, but didn’t truly realize my appreciation for them until high school when I started pet sitting (over ten years ago!) I would watch my friends’ pets when they were on vacation, and felt compelled to make the pets’ stay with me a vacation as well 🐶😊. Since I started watching dogs I always considered them my PIC (partner in crime.). I take them with me on all my adventuress! They meet all my family and friends, and I have even taken a dog on a weekend trip to Block Island (with owners permission of course!) These days, I am home most of the day. I have a small business, which I run out of my home. I am home for majority of the day, but often have to step out for no more than 2 hours at a time. I typically give dogs 2 long walks (30-40 minutes) a day, and take them out in the yard and small walks down the street at least 5 times a day. They get potty breaks every 2-3 hours. I am a VERY active person. I am a marathon runner and avid hiker. No matter what your dog’s activity level is, I will be sure to tucker them out🐶😂. My typical morning and evening walk for dogs is a mile and a half around the reservoir trail in my back yard. I am more than happy to adjust to match your dog’s needs. I live on a small private street. My family and dear neighbors are all nearby. My large yard, close knit community, woods, reservoir trails and loving family truly is a paradise for dogs🐶😊❤️ My schedule varies every day. I can be in and out throughout the day, but never away from home for more than 2-3 hours at a a time. I am typically home for the day by 3pm. Some days I am home all day! It really depends on the week. I live alone and have no pets. I live in a private street with lots of land to explore. I never take dogs off leash when we are outside.
“Laurie was amazing with our dog! We have a rescue dog that is nervous around all new people and places. She was incredibly kind and patient with him and quickly became a person he trusts and loves. Laurie gave him the best possible care - we could tell he loved his stay with her. We are so grateful to her!”
“Richard and Karen watched my dog Babs for 2 days while my partner and I were both at work. It was fantastic! They are such loving caretakers and each day Babs was well fed, played out and sleepy when she came back to me! Will definitely use them in the future whenever we need someone to watch Babs!”

She loved running around with Chloe’s two sweet puppies who are so friendly and playful! Chloe sent me several updates, pictures and videos throughout the day.

About: I’ve cared for dogs my entire life, including Dobermans, Mini Aussies, and Maltese. I’ve trained puppies, supported seniors, and handled feeding, bathing, walking, playtime, and daily routines with confidence and love. I also have experience working in doggy daycare and grooming environments, where I safely managed dogs of different sizes, temperaments, and needs while ensuring they received attentive, compassionate care. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I plan my day around the dogs I care for. Walks, check-ins, and feeding visits are scheduled consistently, allowing me to give each dog focused time and attention without rushing. Safety is always my first priority. I follow each owner’s instructions closely, use secure leashes and harnesses, and pay attention to a dog’s comfort level during walks or check-ins. In your home, I maintain a calm, clean environment and make sure your pet feels safe, understood, and cared for at all times.
“We are so grateful to have found Joseph. Our mini poodle is quite skittish around people other than family, and Joseph showed great patience and understanding with her, allowing her to get comfortable on her own timeline. Now when he arrives, our dog is thrilled to see him and comes home from walks happy and relaxed. We also appreciate Joseph's dependability and reliability; we trust him completely.”

I have a large crate if needed and plenty of space.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs my whole life — from dog sitting for friends and family over the years to recently fostering a golden retriever. Dogs have always been a big part of my life, and walking and spending time with them is something I genuinely enjoy. With a flexible part time schedule, I have plenty of time to provide consistent, reliable daily walks and give every dog the attention they deserve In a client’s home, I respect the space and follow all instructions provided by the owner. I make sure pets are secure, happy, and well-cared for.
About: I’ve taken care of my childhood dog from puppy to senior. I enjoyed training and grooming my puppy and making my senior dog a power bowl. I am a very active person - a hiker, marathoner, boxer, and cyclist, I can exhaust your furry babies however they want! And I particularly have a good sense of reading animal behavior, meaning if your dog needs a therapist, I am a very good listener;) I currently work flexible hours, so I have plenty of time to give your furry babies attention any time of the day. Boarding, walking and house sitting are all welcome weekdays or weekends. Boarding: I am in a 2bd condo with balcony without any pet in a quiet neighborhood. I am walking distance to a lot of trails (paved and non-paved) that your dog can take advantage of. Sitting: tell me your pet’s routine, I will be accountable!

Friends, neighbors, and family members have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and care for their pets while they were away. I’m reliable, patient, and love making pets feel comfortable and safe. I can also help with routines, exercise, and giving lots of attention and care. I am currently working a 9-5 Monday through Thursday But available Friday- Sunday at anytime. If needed I can come after work if I am available I provide care in clients’ homes so pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment.

“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Jacquelyn! She has gone above and beyond in caring for my elderly dog and cats, providing them with not just the essentials but genuine love and attention. From the very start, she has been incredibly kind, communicative, and dependable, always keeping me updated with messages and pictures that give me peace of mind. Caring for senior pets requires patience and extra effort, and Jacquelyn has shown both in abundance. Whether it’s taking extra time on walks, administering special care, or making sure my cats feel just as loved, she has exceeded all my expectations. It’s clear she truly cares about the well-being of the animals she looks after. I wholeheartedly recommend Jacquelyn.”
“Samantha was absolutely fantastic with our high-energy puppy, even on a rainy day!! She went above and beyond to take care of our dog, and our dog absolutely loved her as well! I would highly recommend!”
About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I have 10 years of hands-on experience caring for my own dogs and helping care for others of all breeds, ages, and personalities. I provide loving, attentive care and treat every dog like family. I’m patient, responsible, and enjoy spending time outdoors on walks, playing, and making sure dogs feel comfortable, safe, and happy. I truly believe dogs understand more than we think. I take the time to build trust, learn each dog’s unique personality, and give them the attention and affection they deserve while their owners are away. My background as a professional caregiver has taught me the importance of reliability, communication, and creating a safe environment for those in my care. I bring the same dedication to every pet I look after.
“Christine is fantastic! I needed someone to walk my dog Buddy at the last minute. Christine was able come over for a meet and great right away and book our walk. She definitely helped me out in a pinch and was wonderful!”
“Tara has been great with my senior dog, Boss. She is very kind, gentle, and patient with him. That is something I really appreciate since his health isn’t great and needs the care. I would definitely recommend her for your doggy needs!”
“Candice was so communicative and made me feel at ease before she even arrived at the house. This was my first time using Rover and first time having someone walk Mocha without a previous introduction. It was so nice to know that Mocha was in good hands and Candice went above and beyond in making sure she got a good walk in and had time to pee/poop. I'm so appreciative of Candice and would recommend her to anyone!”
About: I have taken care of friends and family pets over the course of this year some long-term and some short term. Frequent dog park visits and timely feedings. I can accommodate all types of diets, raw kibble, and specialty foods. I currently work full-time however I have a rotating schedule so I can often pet sit and drop in weekdays if needed and weekends. I am off in the mornings so drop and visits are easy for people who work 9 to 5 and just want their dog to have some extra time out or to just check in on the cats. There is an option of having your pet here in my space all to themselves or with my personal pets. I have different options of sleeping accommodations for your pet cage, cot and cushioned. Though I do not have a fenced in yard, I have a dog park in my complex as well as a dog park 4 minutes away by car. I can accommodate all diets, including raw diet.
About: Hi! I’m Jess, and if my friends had to describe me, they’d probably say I’m the human version of a golden retriever friendly, energetic, loyal, and always excited to make new friends (especially the furry kind!). While I haven’t owned a dog myself, I’ve spent years helping care for dogs belonging to family, friends, and many of my personal training clients. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I genuinely love spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. As a personal trainer and health coach, I’m very active, dependable, and attentive to details. I’ll treat your dog like family and make sure they get plenty of exercise, affection, and care while you’re away. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I would be honored to be that person for your furry family member. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine right now. I currently have a flexible schedule and am looking to stay active and productive throughout the summer while doing something I genuinely enjoy. I love animals and see pet sitting and dog walking as an opportunity to help both pets and their owners. I know many people have vacations, family events, long workdays, and summer plans, and it can be stressful worrying about leaving a beloved pet behind. My goal is to provide loving, dependable care so pet parents can enjoy their time away with peace of mind, knowing their furry family member is getting plenty of attention, exercise, companionship, and affection. As someone who is active, responsible, and caring, I enjoy spending time outdoors, going for walks, and giving pets the love and attention they deserve. I look forward to helping families this summer while building meaningful connections with both pets and their owners. 🐾💛 When caring for pets in my client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal and stress free as possible. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, medications, playtime, and any special needs. I make sure pets have fresh water, a clean environment, plenty of exercise, and lots of love and attention throughout the day. Every pet has a unique personality, so I take the time to build trust and make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owner is away. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playing fetch, cuddling on the couch, or simply having someone nearby, I’m happy to accommodate their needs. As a personal trainer and health coach, I lead an active lifestyle and love spending time outdoors, making me a great fit for dogs who enjoy walks and playtime. I also understand how important pets are to their families, so I treat every animal as if they were my own and provide regular updates, photos, and communication so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away. 🐾💛

“Dew dog sat my dog for 3 days and 2 nights. I am very happy with his stay. He was individually cared for, even though there were other dogs there. Dew sent emails and pictures daily. I would definitely use her again to watch my dog. Thank you Dew 🦋”
“Natasha and Hamir were wonderful sitters for Lino. They took the time and care to listen to our requests and instructions, and updated us daily on how he was doing, including photos. We could tell he was being cared for and he was really happy. Lino can be human-selective and indifferent to other dogs, and Natasha and Hamir respected that and live in an area where there is a lot of space from both possible triggers. We wouldn’t hesitate to reach out to them again for boarding!”
“You will be hard pressed to find a better person than Katharine to take care of your fur child! We are so thrilled that we found her thru Rover. She could not be more kind and loving to my Katie. She takes her on wonderful walks, sending us great photos and frequent updates. I have complete peace of mind when leaving Katie with Katharine and know she’s in great hands. Katie thoroughly enjoys her visits with Katharine. Thank you Katharine! 🦮”
“Lovely and patient despite my dog being a lot more work than Irene had agreed to! There are beautiful wooded trails adjacent to Irene’s home and I would not hesitate to recommend the whole family for wonderful dog care.”
“We only used Arsenii once so far but will definitely be going back. Oscar has a bit of separation anxiety but Arsenii's place provides a relaxed vibe and Oscar made himself right at home.”
“First off, huge happy thanks to Richard and Karen for saving our holiday travels after our house sitter canceled with barely over a weeks notice. My dog is a nearly 4 year old rescue, 65lb, strong as can be, and full of residual anxiety/stress/fear issues from whatever happened in his first year before. New situations, people, boxes on the counter… you name it, he freaks out (thankfully, he is chill with meeting new dogs). Richard and Karen put my worries to ease right away during our meet and greet. They are professional dog people, to say the least, and have loads of experience with dogs of all sorts, including rescues and foster fails. They also have a home situated next to a huge park (which will be a big joy for our dog if he gets comfortable enough on future trips to want walks). He made fast friends with Richard and Karen’s dog. Oh, and they sent a photo or two most days that he was with them. I am already looking at my calendar this week to set up time for Luke to stay with them again.”

Her communication was great and our dogs loved their time with her and we would definitely love to have her watch them again!”
“Pico had a great stay with Hayden! Communication was so easy, Hayden sent tons of photos, and was very flexible with our pick-up times. Pico was allowed to make himself right at home and we were happy to see him so relaxed and comfortable. We will definitely book with Hayden in the future!”
“At Julia's house, Chipie feels like her second home. We were able to go on vacation calm knowing that the dog would be in good hands again. Thanks again for taking such good care of her.”
“First time boarding with Randi and it was an incredibly smooth experience. Randi is extremely flexible and was a life saver for when we were away on a multi city driving trip. We were watching the weather in case we needed to abandon our plans and come back home mid trip. Randi was extremely flexible and accommodating and I am so grateful for that. Our dog is a picky eater and is also on some tricky meds…and Randi kept in touch with regular updates. She persevered with attempts to get her to eat both food and meds, until our dog did finally start to eat! Our dog came home happy and healthy! We will definitely board with Randi again!”
“Sara and her home were the perfect fit for our anxious dog, Mazie. Sara is very knowledgeable about dogs, their behaviors, and how to handle them. She successfully gave Mazie medication 3 times a day and prepared special meals for her. We received photos via text while we were away showing how happy and acclimated Mazie was there. We have already booked another stay with Sara. Thank you Sara!!!”
“My husband and i are so happy that we found Andrea, she loved and cared for Bronson like her own, her home was so warm, free and welcoming to our dog. It was Bronson’s first time staying with a sitter and we couldn’t be happier with the results. Andrea took him to the park and walked him daily, she also updated me on a consistent basis providing peace for me while on vacation. Her son and bronson were very good buddies, I would definitely recommend her home for your pet.”
“Barbara did a great job taking care of our older dog while we were out of town for over a week. She went out of her way to make sure our dog felt comfortable, followed all our food and meds instructions, and was great about keeping us updated.”
