“I highly recommend Xiao. Leah was happy and energetic when she came back. Xiao and her boyfriend also took amazing pictures of Leah throughout the stay.”

“Kyle was so great with Darcy. He met up with us prior to her stay with him to get know her a bit and find out more about her and her routine. She took to him right away which made me happy to see that I’d be leaving her with a sitter that she really liked. He provided regular updates throughout her stay and was flexible on drop-off and pick-up. I really appreciate him taking such good care of her while I was away. Would highly recommend!”

She has a dog park in her building ,which is amazing, My dog Joy had the best time. Being a dog mom herself, you can tell she truly gets it, and I trusted her with Joy 100%. I highly recommend her to any pet parent. Thanks Emerald, Joy misses you already, I can tell!”

This is the longest I’ve been away from Tater and they helped me too by sending lots of pictures and updates on him! Highest of recommendations! Thank you again!!! Such a wonderful experience!”

She came back unphased and easily jumped back into her regular life. I love that they had so many toys and hiding huts available for Mamala. I’d definitely use them again!”

“The best! Fun & conscientious. Trinity went out of her way to troubleshoot some unexpected incidents (power outage, Houdini cat) and was always available to text or chat. We are spoiled for any other cat sitter.”


“Miranda was so great! Was able to come cat sit for me on short notice. She was communicative and professional. My cat is usually so so shy and doesn’t take to new people, but she loved Miranda. I would definitely hire Miranda again!”

About: I've had two cats, currently one, both since they were kittens. I have many years' experience taking care of others' cats as well. I pay close attention to their moods and personalities to make sure I am respecting their space and comfort, and love to play with them when they in their mood.

“Monika is an excellent cat sitter. She took extra time to meet and greet with us and our baby, asked lots of valuable questions about his normal routine and care, and was very good at communicating during visits.”


“Brandon is such an amazing and caring babysitter! I have now gone to him a couple of times when I was going on vacation. He always sends a nice summary of how the visit went. And sends the cutest pictures of my baby girl. Will continue to use in the future!”

“Rachel was fantastic! She was communicative, flexible with coordinating key pickup, and made us feel so comfortable while we were away. She sent lots of adorable photos and left sweet little updates after each visit, which we always looked forward to. Most importantly, our cats were clearly well cared for and happy when we got home. We’d absolutely book Rachel again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring cat sitter!”

“Ashley was wonderful for my cat, Miso! Miso needs lots of attention, pets, and snuggles and I had zero worries while out of town knowing Ashley would give her the love! It's wonderful to have a sitter who "knows" cats - how they operate and how they stay comfortable. Thanks Ashley ?”

“Marie checked on our kitty for us while we were out of town for several days. She was sure to send photos every day and made us feel better about being out of town for a while. You can feel good about having Marie check on your pets. She rocks!”


“My first time hiring a pet sitter. Honestly I was hesitant at first. But Hannah gave me such peace of mind, I think I found my go-to cat sitter! She is outstanding: very friendly, responsive, and willing to help and accommodate any extra requests. I didn't expect my cats to warm up to someone within 48 hours of meeting them. But even our timid Simba was purring and rolling around at dinner time. All in all a terrific first time working with Hannah and will definitely call her first whenever I need someone for the boys.”

“If you’re looking for an understanding and patient caretaker for your dog, look no further than Britt! She kindly took on the job of watching my newly adopted dog, Pepper, at the very last minute. Throughout the day, she sent thoughtful updates and even shared Amazon links for helpful dog products and treats. Britt was incredibly attentive to Pepper’s adjustment to a new environment and showed so much patience. Bonus points for her sweet dog, Furby, who became Pepper’s new friend during her stay. Rest assured, Britt is more than capable of taking great care of your fur baby!”

“Gabrielle had been taking care of Bronte on the regular the past couple months. She is great! Her dog Doug is so friendly and good to Bronte. She is consistent and has a backup for days she cannot be there through her SO. Bronte loves her. I love her. I highly recommend her.”

“Jeanette took great care of my sweet pup, Ace! She sent me tons of pictures throughout the day. She also kept me posted on all their walks and trips to the dog park together. I definitely recommend her and would have her watch Ace for me again. Thanks Jeanette!”

“Linyan is great with communication, keeps me updated with pictures and videos. She took Momo for a nice long walk in the park. My dog had an amazing day with her. She looks so happy after came back home. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!”

“Jade & Matthew were so great with my dog, Morris! They were very communicative and Morris quickly felt comfortable during his stay. I would book them again!”

“Churro loves visiting Kecia. She is responsive and accommodating to all of my dogs needs. I have to physically carry him out of her home because he loves her so much. Highly recommend using her services!”

“Anne-Charlotte was amazing! Marlo loved staying with her and Norah. They went to the dog park, went on walks, and played loads. Anne-Charlotte sent photos and videos throughout the day which I really appreciated. 10/10 recommend!!”

“Sara came highly recommended to me by a friend and did not disappoint! In fact, she exceeded my expectations. She was very communicative, friendly and sent tons of updates which I appreciated. It was comforting knowing Peach — who can be a handful! — was in such good hands. Peach had such a blast with Sara and will be thrilled to hang out with her again. Would highly recommend Sara to anyone in need of someone to look after their pup.”

“Danny is awesome. He clearly loves dogs and has a lot of experience handling and being around them. Peggy can be apprehensive to strangers, and especially men, but she immediately seemed comfortable around Danny. The setup at the house is great with a backyard and a small group of dogs + pack walks during the day. Really appreciate you Danny!”

“Augie had the best time with Matthew & Kelly -- when we came to pick him up, he didn't want to leave! They were great communicators. Looking forward to having Augie stay with them in the future.”


“Michelle saved us in a pinch and we're so glad we found her! We just moved to the area and needed someone to watch our 2 dogs while movers brought our stuff into our new home. Michelle graciously agreed to take them for the day. Her great communication skills via text while we coordinated for our dogs' care gave me a lot of confidence that she knew what she was doing and was very detail oriented. We were not disappointed! She gave us frequent updates and photos throughout the day and kept our mind at ease that our dogs were having a fun day while we dealt with the craziness of our move. This is the first time we've agreed to book so quickly with a new sitter and without first doing a meet and greet, and we're so happy we found Michelle in our new neighborhood. We've lived in multiple cities and have had a lot of dog sitters over the years (our dogs are almost 12 and 13). Michelle is definitely one of the best we've had in terms of communication and attention to detail. I highly recommend her!”
“Perfect as always. Every time I'm looking for someone to look after my pup, I text Jodie. And she keeps sending me pics of my dog during his stay with her. Much appreciated”

“Mae is an amazing dog sitter! She kept me updated throughout my dogs stay, and was incredibly kind and easy to communicate with. She also took my dog on multiple long walks, and he seemed so happy afterward. Highly recommend her services!”

“Mathew took wonderful care of Pera. He kept me updated, sent me cute pictures of her daily, took her to the dog park and even cooked her favorite meal to boost her appetite. I was able to enjoy my trip knowing Pera was under good care. Upon picking her up I noticed she was very comfortable and had already warmed up to him. Mathew overall is a very trustworthy and awesome sitter and I will be definitely be bringing back Pera.”

About: Note: We have a toddler now! We won't be able to care for dogs that don't get along well with little children. :) Hello! I'm Claire, and my husband Jeff and I have over a decade of experience caring for dogs together. We LOVE all the dogs we meet, and showering them with that love is one of our favorite things to do. We have plenty of space for pups with extra energy to burn some off. We also take long, frequent walks and make daily dog park visits (unless your pup is more of an introvert/apartment play kind of a woofer). Our dog Otis is a hound mix who loves to play but also always knows when his buds need space or a calm cuddle session. We're attentive, loving and energetic, which we think is all a pup ultimately needs (well, that, and plenty of toys to chew on and treats to eat, which we also have). We typically only sit for 1 dog at a time (in addition to Otis), but sometimes we'll do 2 if we already know 1 of them well. Please feel free to message me with any questions. We look forward to meeting all your wonderful woofs! I typically work from home 4 days/week. I can work from home every day if sitting for a pup who needs me :) During my work day, I take frequent breaks to play with and/or love on my woofer friends. We create whatever environment your pup needs to feel safe and secure, and we'll follow whatever rules you do in your home. Our default is to let dogs run free, but we can accommodate crates and pens if that's what you prefer. Our dog is allowed on furniture, but we won't let yours if them's the rules.
“Paula took excellent care of my puppy Molly, she stayed with her for a day while I was away. They had great time together and I see that Molly really loves her! We will be definitely coming again.”

“Nena was awesome with my pitbull! She was responsive and took great care to assure my dog’s needs were met and then some. Her apartment is clean and sunny, I’m sure my pitty took numerous naps under her big windows. Nena took my dog for extended walks just for the enjoyment of it, even though I told her my pup would be fine with just short ones- she took the initiative to go above and beyond for my pup. Will definitely be hiring her again!”


“Lauren was the perfect babysitter for our pup while we were away for the day! We could tell he loved getting to hang with her and she was super responsive. We’ll definitely schedule another time for Lauren to watch Rizzo :)”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 9 and although I don’t currently have a dog my roommate does so I have gotten continuous experience caring for him. My old dog was very anxious so I have experience caring for easily stressed dogs. I am currently working full time in person so will unfortunately only be available for continuous sitting on the weekends as I wouldn’t want to leave the dog alone for the whole day while I’m at work. I will follow whatever instructions you have for me exactly. Beyond that, I love playing with and interacting with dogs so I will be sure to keep them entertained for the duration of the stay!
“Trinity gets my ultimate endorsement! Was dealt a tough hand with rain and thunder and put in extra care to ensure my little guy would be comfortable. Cannot recommend enough!”


About: Hi! I'm a recent graduate of a dual Master's degree program in Physician Assistant Studies and Public Health. I've been a dog lover for as long as I can remember and have years of experience walking, playing with, and checking in on dogs for friends, family, and neighbors. My family has a 6-year-old Goldendoodle named Murphy, who has taught me just how much love, attention, and exercise our furry friends need to thrive. Whether your pup enjoys long walks, playtime, or just some extra cuddles and companionship, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I would love the opportunity to treat your dog like one of my own! I am currently available seven days a week with a flexible schedule throughout the summer. As a recent graduate of a dual Master's program, I am actively searching for a full-time PA position, which allows me plenty of availability for walks, drop-in visits, and quality time with your pets. Whether you need weekday, evening, or weekend care, I'd love to help keep your furry family members happy and comfortable! Your dog's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I will carefully follow all leash, harness, feeding, and care instructions, and I will always respect your preferences regarding your dog's interactions with people and other pets. I understand that every dog is unique, and I strive to make them feel as secure and loved as they do at home.
“Layla came every evening for 10 nights to take our pup out for walks while I recovered from surgery. She was punctual, reliable and friendly with our reluctant, nervous dog. She got Rosie to look forward to seeing her and was so patient and sweet with Rosie. We’d absolutely book Layla again, Rosie will look forward to seeing her friend! Highly recommend”


“Amanda has been such a godsend with my girl Marge, she made time for a meet and greet last minute and has gone above and beyond with walks and making sure she's gotten her dinner during an extra hectic time for me and my guy. Will definitely be in touch in future, her confidence with pups and professionalism left me instantly relieved.”

About: I am new to rover but I have tons of experience walking dogs and housesitting! I love spending time with dogs and getting to know their unique personalities. Caring for dachshunds, rescue dogs, and a deaf pit bull has taught me to be observant, and adapt to each dog’s individual needs. I work Monday through Friday, so I’m available on weekends. And early morning/evening walks and home stays depending on what your dog needs. Every dog is different, so I’ll tailor each visit to what they enjoy and need most, whether that’s long walks, playtime, a trip to the park, or just relaxing. I enjoy spending my weekends outside, and having a dog to join me on a walk is always a lovely bonus. Your dog’s safety and comfort always come first. I’ll follow their usual routine, respect their boundaries, and adapt my care to their personality and breed. I have doggy stairs for dachshunds to help protect their backs, and I’m happy to accommodate any special needs. I’ll treat your pup like my own and send plenty of photos and updates so you always know they’re happy and in good hands.
“We’ve felt very lucky to have found Anne-Charlotte. She is very accommodating of small schedule issues and our dog is enjoying her walks (apparently too much, perhaps, as our little Sequoia likes to use some of her walk time for belly rubs).”
“I am so glad I met Britt. She is such a thoughtful, intuitive animal lover and incredibly communicative, which is very important to me. Both of my dogs are my whole world, and they each have their own quirks, personalities, and specific needs. Britt has taken the time to truly get to know them and understand what makes them feel comfortable and happy. Her updates are thorough, her photos are great, and she is consistently on time and reliable. This is my first time ever leaving my dogs for a job that requires me to be in an office instead of at home, and it was a very stressful transition. Britt has made that transition so much easier. I feel at peace and relieved knowing they are cared for and walked while I’m away during the day. Highly, highly recommend her. My pups adore her and so do I!”

“Chelsea was great with Georgie! She was easy to communicate with and made sure that Georgie got plenty of pets and exercise. I’ll definitely have her come walk Georgie again!”

“Kimberly is professional, flexible, and reliable. It’s clear Kimberly has a great relationship with my dog by how excited my pup gets when Kimberly arrives to take her for a walk.”

“Anjali is very knowledgable about dogs and treats my small anxious pup with love, kindness, patience and respect. She asks great questions and is diligent and thoughtful about his care. I feel lucky that I found such an exceptional dog walker!”

“Luis has been taking Max out for an hour four mornings a week while my mother recovers from an injury. Usually he goes to Prospect Park, which is Max’s favorite place. His reliability and communication have been excellent and most appreciated.”

Thank you, Steven-”


“Eroxis was so sweet with our cat while we were away for the holidays. He had recently been diagnosed with diabetes, which was a big change for us, so we found ourselves looking for a boarder on short notice. She had no problems giving him his insulin shots and kept us updated on all of his fun times.”

“Michael was awesome with T and great with communicating with me. Even meeting up at dog park before the reservation to make sure T was good for him and his space. Moreover, immensely accommodating amongst some travel issues. Highly reccomned”
