Highly-rated overnight sitters - Howell
“She is truly amazing. She instantly made me feel at ease leaving our baby. Very communicative, daily updates with photos and videos. She goes above and beyond. Our baby suffers from allergies, and she was great with keeping up medications and updates on symptoms. It was his first birthday not at home with us, and she went out of her way to ensure his day was special and got him special birthday treats. She made him feel comfortable, very loving and truly caring. I can tell she has a big heart, and really has a love for animals, I saw she really cared. It was so nice to see, she eased my mind, especially as I tend to over worry about him, and he was very happy with her as so were we. We would DEFINITELY rebook. I cannot thank her enough for her care, love, attentiveness she had for our baby Guinness.”

“Sandy, was absolutely amazing and patient. My fur baby is very needy and gets seizures and high anxiety she was attentive and caring. I would 100% without a doubt recommend her. Thank you for being so kind.”
“Daniel watched our one and a half year old cockapoo for a long weekend. Our pup had a great time. Daniel sent daily updates and took him for walks. There is a fenced in yard which was great too! We will definitely book again for future trips.”

“Jasmine is such a dog lover and so caring. She looked after our Rocky for an entire week and treated him like he was one of her own. Sent us photos and updates while overseas can’t thank her enough for doing so. Will surely book her again as we finally found our dog watcher. Thanks Jadyn for everything”


“Left my dog with Carla for 4 days and I can't complain. My dog was fine even though it's very shy and scared of other people. I would leave my dog with Carla again if I need to.”

“My dog Griffin has been to other Rover sitters and this was the first time he showed me that he was completely comfortable from the moment he walked in the door at our meet and greet! He walked around the place like it was his own home! Amy and her family took care of Griffin for a 2 night stay. I was so happy he would be able to play with her kids and the other dogs there, as he loves attention from all beings. I will look to see if Amy is available any time Griffin needs sitting again! Thanks again, Amy!”

“Highly recommend. Johnathon has a lovely space where my pups had a blast. Loved the pictures he sent of them while I was away at my wedding. My Luna is an anxious dog and yet she did great. Definitely would rebook from here on out.”

“I was a little nervous leaving my puppy for the first time, but Cristina was great with our precious fur baby Milo. Constantly sending pictures and videos. She was quick to respond with any of my concerns. She gave me a peace of mind. I highly recommend her services.”

“David and his family were incredible with my Moosey. This was the longest I’ve ever been away from her and I am extremely grateful to have found care that is so considerate and joyful. Moose has a ton of energy and personality, and David and his family ensured that she was loved, exercised, and understood like the puppy baby she thinks she is. He communicated thoroughly about her day-to-day and checked in about any deviations to their or her regular schedule. He is also very flexible and understanding, which I truly appreciated before and after a long trip abroad. Though they are moving, I truly hope (and know Moose does as well) to rebook their services in the future. Amazing, loving, knowledgable family with amazing snacks! Definitely recommend.”

“When I take my dogs to the vet or groomers, they know within a mile where we're headed and they start crying. I have to practically pull them out the vehicle to go inside. When I'm taking them to Jane's, they know where we're headed with a mile and they start going nuts! They cannot wait to get out the vehicle and will pull my arm off trying to get in her house. They absolutely love being there and that, to me, is comfort beyond words.”

“Grateful to Morgan for taking Kody on such short notice when we unexpectedly needed to leave town. She was very responsive and easy to communicate with, which gave us peace of mind. Kody clearly loved his stay, was well cared for, and even made some new friends. We truly appreciate the great care and would absolutely book with Morgan again.”

“My dogs always enjoy going to Maria’s house. It’s not a kennel but a house where my dogs get the same love and affection as at home. Been there three times and will use Maria again for our next trip”

“Lieb did an amazing job taking care of our Sky! He kept in constant communication, sending us pictures and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear that he truly cared for Sky like she was part of the family. We highly recommend him—absolutely wonderful and trustworthy!”

About: Hello all! I’m Michael, and I looking forward to caring for your pup. I’m experienced with all ages and I treat every pup like part of the family. (Due to my current living situation, I am ONLY allowed to dog board/house-sit hypoallergenic dogs or dogs that shed minimally.) Let’s connect! My availability varies throughout the week but I can be more than flexible to accommodate your pets needs. Whether it’s taking your dog for a quick walk or boarding for a weekend, I’m your guy. I care for pets by trying to keep a clean environment at all times. Cleanliness is very important to me as I find it very important for general health.

“We found Annie after running around trying to find a last minute dog sitter/boarder to watch our dogs after they were in our wedding ceremony. Annie and I chatted on the phone before booking. She not only loves dogs but understands dog behavior and put my mind at ease to watch our two sweet pups. Annie was absolutely fantastic and worked with our coordinator to pick up our dogs and did so on time. We only wish we lived in the area, otherwise Annie would be our go-to.”


“Truly everything you could want in a pet sitter! She is an experienced dog lover who will take care of your pup with the same care as her own. The perfect place for any active dog! Proactive with updates (and great photos and videos from their adventures) and very responsive. Could not recommend more!”

“Sujanna was WONDERFUL! She took thoughtful care of our Toby and went above and beyond. Toby got lots of love and attention the entire time he was there. Toby will definitely be back. We highly recommend Sujanna!!!”
“Jill was great to work with! She is very attentive and loving towards our dog, Rufus! Jill sent lots of photos and updates. Rufus had a great time during our meet and greet and during his stay with Jill! We highly recommend!”

“Eryn is a wonderful sitter. She leaves very detailed notes and was flexible when we needed her another day. Communication is outstanding and prompt. We highly recommend Eryn!”


“Such a doll! She offered to come meet me and my dog beforehand for free just to put my mind at ease and make sure it was a good fit! Very kind, polite and I was pleasantly surprised about how knowledgeable she was about dogs and their behaviors in general. My pup is very anxious and he can have a bit of separation anxiety but she was able to suggest some helpful tips and he seemed to be very comfortable with her almost immediately. She sent me pictures throughout and was very patient with all of my nervous texts as this was the first time I’ve left Landon with anyone ever! I can be over bearing but she was great! Very happy, thank you so much!”


“Linda took care of my two cats while I was away & she was awesome ! Very communicative and sent photos and updates everyday, as well as hanging out and playing with them. I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for someone to watch their pets !! Cannot say enough good things”


“Vicky did an awesome job caring for Bruce. She was in communication with me and sent great pictures so I had complete peace of mind. I think Bruce really liked Vicky and the feeling was mutual. I highly recommend Vicky to care for your fur baby.”

“Julia was fantastic. We needed someone to drop in for our chocolate lab while we were away for a softball tournament. I realized he needed two drop ins and she was very accommodating. She was punctual, friendly, and took good care of our boy. Would recommend Julia 🙂”

“I’ve never had a cat sitter before so I was a bit nervous about how my cats would react, but Jennifer did an amazing job, always gave updates when needed and provided pictures of my cats while I was away. Would definitely book again!”

About: I’ve been taking care of pets my entire life, and my family and friends look to me if they need me to dog sit (or pet sit) when they’re away or unavailable. I love animals, and so getting to take care of furry friends is an absolute treat!! I’m currently attending college, so monday and wednesday mornings im out of the house from 8-12. any other time, if given enough notice, i can be available for you and your pets! I live in a family home with my dog daisy, who is very friendly and about 14 years old now. She never fails to be entertained, and I love her with all my heart. I will do the same for your pets :)
About: I have personal experience with two dogs (Sunny and Roland) and a cat (Loki). Additionally, I have taken care of the pets of family and friends for years without complaint. I have worked as a dog sitter/walker for over 5 years now, and 3 of those on Rover. Unless my employment status changes, I am available 24/7 over summer, winter, fall, and spring breaks. My time is also very flexible and I don’t mind if I need to work at odd hours. I try to be as gentle and friendly as possible towards pets and will do more than the bare minimum when it comes to exercise and entertainment. I also have experience with cleaning up all kinds of potential messes.
About: Hi there! My name is Madeline, and I would love to hear from you about your furry friend. I grew up surrounded by horses, dogs, and cats alike on farms across the Hudson Valley, which instilled a love for animals within me at a very young age. I understand that each client and animal requires an individualized approach. I am more than willing to listen to your desires and make adjustments to accommodate them to the best of my ability. I would consider myself quite the outdoorsy person, which makes me a great candidate to spend time with your animals. I am more than willing to answer any questions that you may have for me, and I look forward to hearing from you. I enjoy spending time with animals and ensuring they receive consistent attention, exercise, feeding, and affection. I plan my schedule to be sure every pet gets the care they need, whether it's walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company and comfortable. I care for every pet as if they were my own by following the owner's instructions carefully and maintaining their normal routine. I give pets plenty of love, attention, and positive interaction while respecting their individual personalities and needs.
“Samantha is fantastic! She took care of our three cats for a weekend. She was reliable, responsible, and very responsive and communicative with her updates. She even helped make sure the cats stuck to their own bowls during mealtime– a tricky task! We needed someone to take care of our cats last minute, and we are so grateful that Samantha was able to accommodate us on such short notice! Thank you Samantha for providing us with confidence to go away knowing our pets were very well cared for. We will definitely be booking with her in the future! I highly recommend Samantha for any and all pet needs.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Howell
“It was my first time leaving my baby with anyone. Amy was very pleasant and my pup loved her the moment she came to greet him. He went crazy with her family and her own pups. I picked up a calm dog which is never the case with my baby, hes always extra excited to see me, so that means he was OK, he had fun and wasn't nervous/concerned while in her care which was a huge relieve for me. Looks like he had a good time there. Highly recommend.”

About: As a doctor, I’ve spent years caring for people of all ages and I bring that same compassion, patience, and attention to detail to the pets I look after. What sets me apart is my medical background and calm, caring approach to both routine and unexpected situations. I’m comfortable helping with pets who need a bit of extra attention, like seniors, those on medication, or anxious animals, always ensuring they feel safe and cared for. I’ve been caring for dogs since I was about 10 years old, when I started helping my neighbors with their pets while they were away. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments — from playful puppies who need consistency and training, to older dogs who require gentler care and medication on schedule. In the past, I’ve also trained many dogs, focusing on consistency, positive reinforcement, and gentle play to help them learn and have fun. Whether your pet needs structured walks, quiet companionship, or a steady hand during medication time, I’ll treat them like one of my own family members. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I’m an early riser and make time every day for walks, play, and check-ins. My work schedule is flexible, allowing me to plan visits around each pet’s needs—whether it’s morning exercise, midday drop-ins, or evening companionship. Caring for animals is a relaxing and rewarding part of my week. I treat every home and pet with the same respect and care I give my own. I follow your instructions carefully, maintain a clean environment, and keep pets safe with close supervision indoors and secure leashes outdoors. I focus on helping pets feel comfortable and calm, especially when their families are away, so they always feel cared for and at ease.
“Dawn was so wonderful with Poppy! She sent lots of photos and updates which I really appreciated. She was so sweet and positive! If we're ever back in the area we won't hesitate to use her services again!”

“Our casper felt comfortable with her instantly and kept us updated on him for the day we were out and even tried to go back with her for a second which confirmed he enjoyed her.”

“Alexis was a dream dog sitter. Her house is lovely with lots of space and a fenced in yard. She was also a great communicator, and I felt fully at ease leaving my pup in her care. I would definitely return the next time I need a sitter.”

About: My first pet ever was a bunny named Einstein. I then had a parakeet, Guinea pigs, cats, more bunnies and of course a few dogs throughout the course of my life. I quite literally squeal every time I see a cute dog. My friend recommended this to me because she recognized my love for dogs. I am currently working full time and on my days off I’m hustling by doing DoorDash, or providing Content Day services to other creators in the neighborhood. On a day where I close at 1:30pm I can fit in a dog walk for a few hours in the morning. If I open I have time after work to pick up more work. I treat my pets as an extension of my heart. Providing love, attention and affection to dogs really warms my heart. Fulfilling their lovely doggo needs is a privilege.

“She is truly amazing. She instantly made me feel at ease leaving our baby. Very communicative, daily updates with photos and videos. She goes above and beyond. Our baby suffers from allergies, and she was great with keeping up medications and updates on symptoms. It was his first birthday not at home with us, and she went out of her way to ensure his day was special and got him special birthday treats. She made him feel comfortable, very loving and truly caring. I can tell she has a big heart, and really has a love for animals, I saw she really cared. It was so nice to see, she eased my mind, especially as I tend to over worry about him, and he was very happy with her as so were we. We would DEFINITELY rebook. I cannot thank her enough for her care, love, attentiveness she had for our baby Guinness.”

“Jasmine is such a dog lover and so caring. She looked after our Rocky for an entire week and treated him like he was one of her own. Sent us photos and updates while overseas can’t thank her enough for doing so. Will surely book her again as we finally found our dog watcher. Thanks Jadyn for everything”


“Left my dog with Carla for 4 days and I can't complain. My dog was fine even though it's very shy and scared of other people. I would leave my dog with Carla again if I need to.”

“My dog Griffin has been to other Rover sitters and this was the first time he showed me that he was completely comfortable from the moment he walked in the door at our meet and greet! He walked around the place like it was his own home! Amy and her family took care of Griffin for a 2 night stay. I was so happy he would be able to play with her kids and the other dogs there, as he loves attention from all beings. I will look to see if Amy is available any time Griffin needs sitting again! Thanks again, Amy!”

“David and his family were incredible with my Moosey. This was the longest I’ve ever been away from her and I am extremely grateful to have found care that is so considerate and joyful. Moose has a ton of energy and personality, and David and his family ensured that she was loved, exercised, and understood like the puppy baby she thinks she is. He communicated thoroughly about her day-to-day and checked in about any deviations to their or her regular schedule. He is also very flexible and understanding, which I truly appreciated before and after a long trip abroad. Though they are moving, I truly hope (and know Moose does as well) to rebook their services in the future. Amazing, loving, knowledgable family with amazing snacks! Definitely recommend.”

“We found Annie after running around trying to find a last minute dog sitter/boarder to watch our dogs after they were in our wedding ceremony. Annie and I chatted on the phone before booking. She not only loves dogs but understands dog behavior and put my mind at ease to watch our two sweet pups. Annie was absolutely fantastic and worked with our coordinator to pick up our dogs and did so on time. We only wish we lived in the area, otherwise Annie would be our go-to.”

“Fiona is awesome and very accommodating. As an overprotective pet parent,she felt very trustworthy early on. Fiona kept us informed and sent lots of pics. Titan really likes her also and he ran right in when we dropped him off. I would 100% recommend Fiona to anyone looking for a sitter that gives the family experience to your furbaby!”

“Beckie and her family were the perfect home away from home for our high-energy 2yo German Shepherd. She has a beautiful and massive back yard and provided photo updates throughout the stay. We’ll happily trust Beckie with Echo on future trips and highly recommend her!”


“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.”


“Wow! Our ‘boys’ had an awesome time with Debra, Vic and Hersh. They played all day and are knocked out tired. Thank you so much for taking such great care of them. We were able to go about our day worry free knowing our boys were in such wonderful hands. It’s early and they are in bed snoring! Your ‘kids’ will be in great hands. They are absolutely fabulous and the playground, it’s doggie heaven!!!”

“Sara was wonderful. Our first time using a dog sitter and I was anxious about the experience. Would the boys behave, or would the sitter really give them attention? Well yes and definitely yes. The experience was great for us and the doggos. Our dogs are a large breed and a giant breed. Sara didn't have any qualms about their sizes and we were able to relax and enjoy a weekend away. Would absolutely use Sara's services again. Highly recommend.”

“Francesca and John were wonderful! Buddy did very well during his stay. This was his first time ever boarding and I was nervous about how he would do since he is an older dog. They kept me updated all the time and assured me he was relaxed and not anxious. So glad we found them!”

“Terrance was amazing! He handled our dog with care, he was professional and kept us updated on how our pup was doing. I would highly recommend his services! Thanks Terrance!”


“Stephanie was great with communication. She responded promptly to any questions and sent plenty of pics throughout my dog’s stay. I was really happy with her service and I will definitely use her again.”

“Lauren was really amazing with Stacy, she sent me updates and pictures. Stacy was so happy. I will use her again in the future. I’m really happy the way Lauren took care of Stacy”

“We had a fantastic experience with Kelvin and Monica leaving our Ace in their care 🥲. From the moment we dropped Ace off, we knew he was in great hands. Kelvin - thank you for showing us around and having Ace get comfortable with his surroundings. Thank you for providing us with regular updates, photos and the occasional video ❤️, which put our minds at ease. Ace came back happy, healthy, and well taken care of. Kelvin and Monica went above and beyond to cater to Ace's food needs and high energy. We highly recommend Kelvin and Monica to anyone looking for top-notch care for their furry family member{s}. Thank you for providing such a wonderful experience for Ace! The Santanas 🐶🐕 ❤️”
