“Emerald was absolutely wonderful! She was communicative, sent me so many cute photos and videos, flexible with drop-off and pick-up, and so easy to work with. 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!”
“My dog has never been so happy to see a stranger! She immediately connected with Teraesa who provided videos and pics of Jazzy throughout her stay, showing how much fun she was having. I would definitely book again! Thanks Teraesa for taking care of my princess!”
“Maria took great care of Arlo while we were out of the country for 10 days. She was communicative and instilled confidence that everything was going well. Highly recommend!”
“Farrah had another fantastic stay at Ian and Clementina’s! They shared numerous updates, photos, and videos during her multi day stay at their apartment, and came back super happy!!”
“We couldn’t have asked for better sitters than John and Madeleine! They took such amazing care of our dog, Lady, and truly went above and beyond—especially when she came down with a stomach bug. They woke up in the middle of the night to take her out, made her special food to soothe her tummy, and ensured she was as comfortable as possible. We appreciated their frequent updates and adorable pictures, which reassured us while we were away. They were incredibly accommodating and thoughtful throughout the entire process. We’d love to have them watch Lady again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, compassionate sitters!”
“Kira shared pics of Turing, and he seems to have really enjoyed staying at his place. She was also flexible about the pick-up time, which we really appreciate!”
“Ekaterina and family did a lovely job hosting our senior dog Gil! He returned home happy and relaxed. She sent lots of photos and updates. Thank you so much.”
“Cayla and Matthew are amazing. This was Theo’s first time staying with a sitter and he had a blast. They sent so many updates via photos and videos and it made us feel so at ease while we were away. It’s not easy at all to care for a 4 month old puppy, but they went above and beyond. We will definitely have Theo stay with them again!!”
“Jane was so lovely and her dog Fancy is so cute! Our puppers needed a one night boarding while we were at a wedding. Jane took great care of him and sent so many photos, videos, and updates throughout the night and the next morning. She asked great questions if she was unsure of things. I loved the communication and flexibility Jane provided. Our dog was so happy when we came back to pick him up which let us know he had a great time at Jane’s! Would definitely recommend as a sitter!”
“Krystal took wonderful care of our dog, Joules, while we were away for two weeks. We were initially nervous about leaving our older dog for that long, but Krystal made the experience completely stress-free. She kept us updated regularly, gave Joules plenty of attention and long walks, and clearly cared about his well-being. We came home to a happy dog and couldn't be more pleased. We highly recommend Krystal!”
“Always a pleasure with Michael, very good communicator, great attention to detail, no issues with him giving medicine or walking our dog who is leash reactive and can be tough to walk. Thanks again, Michael!”
“We are so glad to find Renzo as our sitter for 3weeks! He sent us photos everyday to make sure we know Peanut is having fun and safe! We can tell Peanut enjoyed his stay very much. Thank you!”
“Merin was AMAZING!! I really felt Moose was being well taken care of and left me with such peace of mind while on vacation. She was super thorough, gave constant updates, and reached out with any questions/concerns. Hands down we found our go to sitter which is the best feeling knowing I have someone to trust to take care of Moose when I need a little R&R! Thank you!!”
“Hannah was the absolute BEST sitter! This was our first time using Rover and we feel so lucky it was with Hannah. Our dog Alfie has some funny quirks, resource guarding, and some unpredictable reactivity with other dogs and Hannah calmed any nerves we had going into the overnight stay. She was highly communicative, sent great pictures, and Alfie felt right at home! Would highly recommend Hannah to anyone in search of a reliable dog sitter, we will definitely be reaching out to her again for future stays!”
“Joseph was great! He really cared about making sure my dog, Betty, was comfortable. He asked a lot of questions and tried to find innovative ways for her to eat when she initially went on hunger strike (common for her as she’s a small dog). I let him know that she has a sensitive stomach and he was very careful about what she ate and let me know how her walks were going- which was much appreciated Joseph was extremely communicative and accommodating. The setup was great for Betty too as she enjoyed so much playtime in the backyard. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Joseph again!”
“I was very anxious about having to leave my 4 month old kitten with strangers for a week and a half, but Christine and Addison helped so much to ease my anxiety by sending multiple picture/video updates and letting me know how my kitten was doing every day. They were also nice enough to trim her nails multiple times, and had tons of fun toys, treats, a water fountain, and different types of litter boxes to make her feel comfortable. They seem like real cat experts which made me feel comfortable that they would know what to do just in case any issue were to come up. It was also important to me that my kitten be able to try socializing with other cats, so Christine and Addison slowly introduced her to their cats, sent me video updates, and I was so happy to see that they became playmates by the end! I will definitely try to have my kitten stay with them again the next time I am away from home.”
“First time booking on Rover. Elaine is very accommodating and I was able to book her on short notice. I have a six month old pug puppy who is very energetic and just got a neuter surgery, and she was able to accommodate his needs and care for him. She sent photos while I was away, mainly of him napping so I know he was tired out. She provided feedback on his pulling behaviors on walks and suggested different types of harnesses. I will definitely book her again, and thank you, Elaine!”

“Miranda was great with my cat, Griffin, while I was away on a trip. She sent me daily updates with cute pictures, and let me know how Griff was doing in each of her visit summaries.

“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!”

About: I love all animals and am happy to care for any pet! I grew up with a variety of pets in the house and have worked at a barn, so my care experience is broad. Over the years I’ve had my own puppies and senior dogs so I am well equipped with the patience and experience needed at all stages of life. I often care for cats and dogs of friends and family and am excited to help care for your pet! I currently have a flexible schedule, leaving me plenty of time to care for your pets whenever needed! I’m available for walks, drop-ins, or boarding at my apartment anytime. I have a 10 yr. old shih tzu who loves to make new pet friends. He’s a friendly and calming presence, used to sharing his home with other dogs and cats. As a trusted sitter for friends and family, we keep a clean and organized apartment to ensure the best saftey for pets in our care.
“Megan was really wonderful looking after our dog Penelope who has separation anxiety. We appreciated the updates and seeing that Penelope was looking calm, content, and well looked after, and her little dog Chef seemed to be lovely and kind to Penelope too. Knowing that Megan has her own dog and has had experience with rescues and fostering gave us extra confidence that she'd be kind and caring and would know what she's doing. We'd love to use Megan's services again in the future and would definitely recommend her to others”

Yirui was extremely communicative and sent lots of photos as well as updates about how he was adjusting. It was a first visit, and I felt really comfortable because of the quality of communication. He will definitely be visiting with Yirui again!”
“So nice and sweet with my dog Otis, Sara is a real dog person. My boy got plenty of exercise and I knew he was in good hands. She sent me numerous photos and updates. Added bonus of outdoor deck space in the building where she took Otis since was a nice weather day! Thank you!”
“Sonia was accommodating and ensured that Ezra received a lot of outside walks and off-leash playtime. She also gave treats and a meal if the pickup time was beyond Ezra’s typical dinner time. Her dog played well with my dog and provided a lot of healthy social activity. Thanks!”
“Danny was my 3rd sitter on Rover after the first two people that I found left me feeling incredibly nervous and uneasy about my puppy’s safety. With Danny, so many of my old concerns melted away in our very first meeting. He was so patient with me as a new pet owner and was so loving to my very high energy puppy. Every day that Danny has sat my dog, I have gotten texts, picture, and video updates. Danny even went out of his way on multiple occasions to walk Miso back to my place without charge. And he has helped orient my puppy to other dogs and given me every reassurance that, no matter what, my dog would be safe with him. There is no one else on Rover that I trust more than Danny and I feel so grateful that I found him!”
“Sophia took great care of Lucy and was so accommodating! My husband and I weren’t sure what time we’d be able to pick her up and Sophia was incredibly understanding and patient with us. This was Lucy’s first time with a dog sitter so we were a little nervous but Sophia communicated with us throughout the day and Lucy was in great hands. We will 100% book with her again the next time we need a dog sitter.”
“Such a good human to my pup!!! Teddy loves going to Lexi’s - he literally drags me there. He was so happy to spend the day together and hopes to do it again soon!”

“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”

“Noah is the dream dog walker!! My dog Luca is big with lots of energy and sometimes can take a while to really warm up — but he took to Noah almost immediately. Luca always seems excited to hang with Noah on walks. Noah is also extremely communicative and responsive so I never stress!! I definitely recommend.”

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.

“Sara was absolutely fantastic. This was our puppy Crumble's first time being left with someone outside of his home environment, so naturally we were a little nervous. Sara arranged a meet-and-greet beforehand, and from the moment we met her, all of our concerns were put to rest. She is incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and clearly has a genuine love for dogs. Throughout the day, she kept us updated with photos and messages, which gave us complete peace of mind. It was so reassuring to see how settled and happy Crumble was in her care. He had a fantastic day, and we wouldn't hesitate to leave him with Sara again. We couldn't recommend her more highly!”

Drop-off and pickup were easy to arrange as well. We would definitely recommend Xiao and would happily book with her again!”

“We had a wonderful experience boarding our puppy with Ayush. From the start, communication was excellent, and we felt completely at ease leaving our puppy in his care. He provided regular updates, photos, and videos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Our puppy came home happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for. It was obvious that Ayush genuinely enjoys spending time with dogs and treated our puppy like part of the family. We especially appreciated our puppy having new friends to play with (Ayush’s dogs). We would absolutely book with Ayush again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy person to board with.”
