“Kevin and his family are super great with our pup! This was the second time she stayed with him. He made sure she felt more comfortable as she gets a bit homesick. We will definitely ask him to take care of her again. Highly recommended!”

“Robert was awesome and made sure my pup Blue had as much fun as possible. He gave him exactly the care, attention, and exercise he needed playing with other dogs. The updates about how much fun he was having gave me great peace of mind. Blue came home happy and tired. Will happily book with Robert again.”

“Diana is friendly, caring, responsible and she is a great dog sitter. She sent photos and videos everyday and went above and beyond to take care of my shiba inu. In addition, her dog Wendy was a wonderdul playmate for my shiba. She provided a safe, clean and fun environment for the care of my dog.”

“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!”

“We’re very happy with Liza. She was very conscientious and loving with our dog. From the very start, we felt completely comforted knowing that he was in such good hands. She provided daily updates with pictures and videos throughout our 10-day trip. We will definitely book her again!”

“Karine, Ryan and Misu are the best! If you want your dog to be treated like family while you are away and not worry at all, they are the ones to call. I am an overprotective dog mom and my little guy is super attached to us, but miraculously he warmed up to Karine right away. He ate well, played, went out for lots of walks, got along great with Misu and was so well-adjusted while we were out of the country. I could not have asked for a better experience and give Karine my highest recommendations. She also sent me a lot of wonderful photos, so I always knew what activities Chewie was up to each day. 5 stars!!!”

“Doreen took wonderful care of Bailey over the holiday! Doreen was incredibly responsive via the Rover app and was very flexible when I needed to make last-minute adjustments to drop off and pick up times. She sent photos throughout Bailey’s stay, and Bailey came home happy and healthy!”

“Raphael had a wonderful week with Clementine's family! We looked forward to the cute photos Nina would send each day. Thank you for taking such good care of our pup!”

“Alexis took great care of Charlie during boarding. She provided updates and photos during the stay. Her backyard is a pups dream. I’m sure Charlie would give two thumbs up if she has them.”

“I’m so grateful to have found Maureen to care for my sweet Lola while I was away! Lola can be a bit shy and isn’t always great with other dogs, but Maureen knew exactly how to handle her with so much patience and love. She really took the time to understand Lola’s needs and quirks, from giving her the cuddles she loves to making sure she had her peaceful walks without any stress. I could tell how happy Lola was when I came back—she was relaxed, content, and clearly well taken care of. It’s not easy to find someone you can fully trust with your fur baby, but Maureen exceeded my expectations in every way. I can’t thank her enough for giving Lola the attention and care she deserves. It was like she was on her own little vacation! It’s clear Maureen genuinely cares and goes the extra mile to ensure pets are happy and well cared for. I’ll definitely be booking with her again! Thank you Maureen!!”

“We loved Vibeke! We will be using her again when we go on vacation. Her house was so nice, great fenced in back yard and dog friendly. She followed our instructions perfectly and kept us up to date on how she was doing and sent us pictures. Vibeke is also a lovely person and clearly loves dogs! Thank you!”

“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!!!”


“Danae is so responsible, friendly, understanding and careful dog sitter! She took care of my small pug, as if it was her own dog. We definitely will return to her! Strongly recommend to everyone.”


“Anat is the best! She took great care of Freddie, sent updates and photos, and assisted with pick and drop off. Thanks to Anat we could travel without worry. See you on our next vacation 🙏”

“Rafelina has taken such good care of my pets in the past and again of Max. Max runs to her house because he loves it there. I always have peace of mind leaving my babies with her. She sends me frequent updates and lets me know how they are doing. Excellent dog sitter.”


“Jennifer and James were great hosts. Very professional and friendly, sent plenty of updates, and clearly took the responsibility of looking after another person's pet very seriously. My beagle Ella had a great time playing with Seamus and seemed to be right at home. Would definitely recommend to others!”

“Becky is amazing! You can tell immediately she is an “animal person” by her energy, and I knew our girls would be in fantastic hands. I was extra nervous since one of our kitties has anxiety and is on medication - it’s a lot to ask of someone else to care for her - but Becky was completely unfazed and didn’t hesitate for a minute. I was totally reassured every minute we were gone and was actually able to enjoy my vacation knowing Becky had everything handled. Thank you, Becky!”


“Margaret was on time, paid great attention to my two lovies, along with have me updates and pictures on how they were while away. She was also there the entire time she said she was, which meant a lot to me.”

“I honestly love your visits and from the start I could see that Fumacinha remembered you and was comfortable. Thank you for taking the time to walk him in the visit and be so kind to him. It makes a difference and I always feel at ease even traveling. Thank you”


“Highly recommend Greeshma. She was an excellent communicator throughout our trip. I love the photos and notes she provided. Bootsy was well taken care of and it was comforting knowing we did not have to worry! Thank you Greeshma!!”


“Jennifer has been our cat caretaker for a couple of long trips and we couldn’t be happier with her support and care. Our two cats have differing personalities and she is able to get on their level giving them time to warm up and become friends. You’ll come back to a clean home and happy pets. We know our pets are in good hands when with Jennifer!”


“Brandon F. was FANTASTIC! He gave regular updates and sent photos of our Lucy to us. It was so great to be able to relax and know that our beloved pet was in good hands with Brandon. Would absolutely book him again!”


About: I was raised with dogs and have been working as a pet-sitter and dog-walker for neighbors and family friends since I was about 12. I have some experience with pet training, lots of experience with dog walking and pet-sitting, and TONS of experience with pet-loving! I will be working as a counselor at a day camp this summer from 9AM to 4PM during weekdays. I’m happy to come take your pet for a quick walk during my lunch break, and any longer walks/stays will be before and after the camp day starts, overnight, or on weekends! I love to play with, walk, and generally be best friends with animals! I usually have some schoolwork to do and am always happy to keep your pet company while I do it. Your pup deserves love and attention even when you’re not home!

“My kitties were happy and well-cared for during our vacation. I loved seeing their pictures and when we arrived home they weren't starved for attention. That is a sign of a great kitty caretaker!”

“I recently had the pleasure of having Caleigh take care of my two Bengal cats for 9 days. She was incredibly punctual and maintained excellent communication throughout the entire time, providing regular updates and photos, which gave me great peace of mind. My cats were well taken care of, and I came home to a clean and tidy house. I will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future!”

“Drew took amazing care of my cat Lola while I was away on vacation. This was my first time using rover and he immediately put my mind at ease! He had great communication and sent daily updates.”

““I couldn’t be happier with the care our cat, Blob, received from Jalyne. She went above and beyond to ensure Blob was comfortable and well-cared for while we were away. The daily photos and updates were such a comfort, and it was clear from the pictures that Blob was happy and relaxed. I highly recommend Jaylene for anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive cat sitter. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!””


“Jacqueline went above and beyond. The me of my cars got sick last minute and she took on medicating and wound treatment. She was an excellent communicator and everyone looked safe and happy when I returned.”


“Hannah is absolutely amazing! She took exceptional care of my two dogs, Max and Romeo, and they both adored her from the moment she walked in. Her kindness and warmth were immediately evident, and I could see how comfortable my dogs felt around her. Hannah went above and beyond to ensure they were happy, and received plenty of attention and playtime. It’s clear she genuinely loves animals, and her gentle approach made such a positive impact. I couldn’t have asked for a more caring and responsible pet sitter. Highly recommend Hannah for anyone looking for someone who will treat their pets like family!”


“Andrea provided the best care to my two kitties! She was amazing in giving updates, following instructions and immediately made friends with my girls, who don't warm up to strangers quickly!”

“Catherine was fantastic with Achilles! He had a great day and came home happy and relaxed. You can tell she really cares about the dogs she watches. I would definitely book again!”

“Diana was great and so patient with my dog. My dog was very nervous and didn't want to go with her but she was so kind and loving, she went with her. She spent the whole day with her and kept me updated throughout the day. I would highly recommend her. In fact, my dog is going back two more days this week to Diana.”

About: I’ve been a dog lover since I was six years old, growing up with pets back home in Guatemala. Over the years, I’ve cared for all kinds of dogs—big, small, playful, and shy—and I’ve gained experience with everything from daily walks to giving medication. I currently don’t have pets of my own, which means I can give your dog my full attention. You can expect lots of walks, playtime, love, and regular photo and video updates. I live in a calm, pet-friendly environment and I’m home all the time, so overnight care is never a problem. I’m here to make your dog feel safe, happy, and right at home! I work part-time in the mornings and am free the rest of the day, and I’m available to board your dog anytime that works for you. Since I work nearby, I can easily accommodate your schedule for drop-offs and pick-ups. I spend most of my time at home, giving plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship. I especially enjoy taking dogs on walks—it’s a great way for them to get exercise and have fun. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I love being active with animals and making sure they feel happy and loved all day long. I live in a calm, pet-friendly environment where your dog can feel safe, relaxed, and loved. My home is free of harmful plants and other hazards, I always keep the space clean and comfortable. I have a big yard where I can walk and play with your dog throughout the day, giving them plenty of exercise and attention. I take time to get to know each dog’s personality and needs so they feel right at home. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities, and I’m happy to follow any routines that help them feel secure. I know trust matters, so I always keep pet parents updated with photos, videos, and clear communication.
“Ashley did an amazing job taking care of Freddie. He seemed at home and adjusted very quickly at her place thanks to how she had set up her house to accommodate his needs and comfort. We will definitely use her services again.”

“Richard was absolutely wonderful with Shade during her overnight boarding stay. He was incredibly communicative, patient, and genuinely caring the entire time. He kept me updated throughout her stay with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing she was happy and well taken care of. Shade came home relaxed and clearly enjoyed her time there, which says a lot about the environment Richard provides. It’s obvious that he truly cares about the dogs he looks after and treats them like his own. I would highly recommend Richard to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive sitter—I’ll definitely be booking with him again!”

“Simone & Sean K were terrific! Kind, attentive to our dog's sensitivities and took great care of her. She had a great day with them. We highly recommend them and will definitely be booking future dates.”

“Had a great doggy daycare visit with Laura this week! Her attention to detail and genuine love of dogs is what has us coming back again. I loved her desire to really get to know my dog and make accommodation for Lola's little quirks and upside-down scheduling. Thanks Laura (and Chris too) for giving us a new safe haven for Lola!!”

About: I've loved animals my whole life and grew up around animal shelters thanks to my sister, who is a veterinarian.

I also help keep their space clean and comfortable so both pets and owners can feel at ease knowing they're in good hands.
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.
