Highly-rated overnight sitters - Howells
“Alexis took great care of our dogs and provided regular updates. She was thoughtful, accommodating, and considerate with all of our plans. Would absolutely recommend her and would definitely book with her again!”
“Sandra was amazing with our dog Lola while my family and I were on vacation! She was incredibly kind and on top of everything. She sent us pictures almost every day, including photos of Lola relaxing in her room, which really helped us feel at ease. Whenever I asked how Lola was doing, she replied right away. She treated Lola like part of her family, and Lola clearly felt comfortable and happy there. We’ll definitely be booking with Sandra again. Highly recommended!”
“This is my 3rd time leaving our precious pup with Daniel & his wife. They are such kind people and I always feel comfortable with leaving my pup with them. They are very professional and have great communication.”
“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.”
“Carla was awesome! I had a last-minute and unexpected opportunity to take my girlfriend and her grandson away for an overnight trip and didn't have a plan for the pups. Carla came through with a same-day booking request and the dogs had a great time. She was very responsive, and based on how well the boys slept when they got home, they had a great time playing with her dog while there!”
“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.”
“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”
“Kim was very quick to respond to me whenever I wanted to check in and see how Ryder was doing. She was very friendly and welcoming. She sent me pictures and made me feel comfortable that my baby was in good hands. I would highly recommend her. This was my first time using a dog sitter and I am very pleased with the entire experience. Thank you again Kim for everything. I would use her again if I need a sitter.”
“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Andrea is a beautiful, intelligent and compassionate professional. She cares about the animals she looks after while 'pet parents' are away. She reduces anxieties naturally by listening carefully and observing astutely. Hygge had never been away or 'boarded' for pet sitting prior to my experience with Andrea. At all times she was communicative, caring and purposeful in her interactions with Hygge, who probably worried about being in a new home away from home for a few days on many levels. My transportation plans were delayed due to a severe storm that prevented my scheduled pick up, and Andrea was patient, reasonable and loving during my own stress about being stuck in NYC beyond my control for the pick up of my dog after traveling for a few days. She worked with me every step of the way, and the boarding experience was a total success even with transportation issues. Hygge returned home happy, healthy, well-nourished and satisfied with renewed confidence in his ability to work with another lovely family in our sweet community in a spirit of trust and sucess. All in all, I would recommend Andrea to work with anyone who has pets they love and want to broaden the scope of their pet's world by allowing Andrea to work with them and care for them. Andrea also understands the complexities of rescue animals, and will work with you so all are informed and kept in safe environments that nourish everyone's positive potential. She is also very pleasant and loving. She is a talented professional and a local treasure to all who come in contact with her.”
“I have always been very happy with Maria watching our dogs. I have used her any time we go on vacation and my daughter is a regular customer now too. The thing I like best ( and my dogs like too) is this is not a kennel- it’s a home that they become part of the family. My dogs never liked kennels and became very upset whenever I brought them to one. At Maria’s they jumped out of the car and were happy to be there - like visiting a relative home. I’m very glad I found Maria and most of all my dogs are very glad too!”
“Katarzyna or Kat is awesome and very knowledgeable about the needs of pit bulls. She was very attentive, punctual and my dog seemed to love his stay with her and her family. I was very worried and at first didn't want to leave him, but I could feel and see that he was in great hands. She also sent lots of photos. She is awesome and if I find the need to need a sitter again will definitely look her up!”
“Hanelle has to be the nicest person but on top of that the best person to trust your pet with. She went above and beyond special care for our little Ginger and spoiled her with homemade biscuits on top of all the love she gave her. She exercised her regularly and listened to any additional information we gave her! Certainly recommend her and will be using her again”

About: Hello! My name is Lizbeth. Pets have been a part of my life since I was young. And throughout those years my family and I have had and cared for several dogs and my own cat. I have experience from caring for puppies to senior dogs with disabilities. I love to spend time with them and look forward to meeting your pet family.
About: I’ve had dogs in my family since I was a little girl, for as long as I can remember I have never been scared of them no matter how big or active they are. My first dog outside of my parents how was a husky (crazy decision I know), but training her and seeing her grow has been amazing! I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, shy dogs as well as very active dogs. I’m currently doing Rover as a side job, therefore whenever I’m taking a client I will be home with your dog the entire day except to take the dogs to the park or on walks! I live in an apartment so I don’t have a fence yard, however I live on the first floor and there’s a big yard where I can take the dogs out and play with them. I’m also 5min away from Maple Hill dog park.
“Kim was a great sitter for my special needs cat. She gave him the care and attention he needed and made sure I was updated on whether he’d gone to the bathroom. I also appreciate her willingness to care for him over the holidays - it was a huge help since we could not be home with him!”
“Kristina did an amazing job with our cat Maxie! Although he is very shy and skittish, he warmed up to Kristina almost immediately. She followed our instructions perfectly and actually went above and beyond to make Maxie feel comfortable. The proof is in the pictures she took of herself and Maxie together. He looks completely relaxed and happy. We would not hesitate to ask Kristina back again! She’s amazing.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Howells
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.
“We had a wonderful experience with Sandra, our Rover sitter! Our dogs were clearly well cared for, and the little extra touches made it even more special — they came home with a star and a goodie bag, which was such a thoughtful surprise. Communication was great, I received pictures and a video of their day. We would absolutely book again!”
“It was Maple's first time with a sitter but Alexis made her so comfortable that she didn't want to leave! We got updates throughout the day and saw that she was doing amazing. I'm thankful for her watching our pup for the day and would definitely book again.”
“If I could give Dawn 100 stars I would!! She was AMAZING taking care of my little Yeti. She was communicating and sending beautiful pictures of him all day. He never eats at strange locations, and he even ate with her. She has a sixth sense for animals!! I'd recommend her everyday.”
“Jayne was an exceptional puppy sitter. She treated and loved Daisy as if she were her own. She sent photos to help pass the time and was overly accommodating. I will most definitely bring Daisy back for another visit soon. Thank you!”
“This was my first time leaving my dog for boarding and using the Rover app.Jonathon went above and beyond to take care of my dog I even ran out of food and he offered to run to the store to grab some more. Throughout the stay he updated me and sent pictures easing some of my anxiety. I now know I have someone that I can rely on and my dog will be taking good care of and I will be using.Jonathon for my future boarding needs! I’ve also recommended him to my friends as well.”
“Amy was great! She sent us pictures and agreed to watch Aurora very quickly! Aurora had a great time she played and ran and came home absolutely tired! We will definitely be booking again!”

About: I have taken care of pets my whole life. I grew up with dogs, cats, fish, lizards, and a chinchilla. My friends made a joke that my house was a zoo with all the animals we had. I love animals and I can’t imagine my life without a furry pet. I’m home for the summer before my job starts in September. Free during the weekends or weekdays for boarding, house sitting, or walking. I’m very flexible for hours. My dog is very good off leash in our backyard. We take her on hikes all the time to tire her out. My cats are older and have to take medication but they love snuggling up with my dog.

“At first, I struggled with the thought of leaving my grand dog (Zyla is my daughter’s dog), because Zyla really is treated like a family member and Zyla is our everything but Monica was wonderful. Monica sent multiple photos throughout the day which reassured us that Zyla was ok. From the photos I could tell that Zyla was having a blast. Zyla made a new furry friend and two human friends. Monica not only sent me photos but updated me throughout the day on Zyla’s activities which eased my worry as well. I can tell Zyla had the time of her life because she fell fast asleep on her ride home. Monica made Zyla’s first doggy daycare experience wonderful for both Zyla and her owners. I am definitely scheduling more future dates with Monica for both doggie daycare and boarding.”

“I just want to commend Savana for coming today to walk my puppies on February 6, 2025, even though there was ice and snow throughout the day.

About: I have more than 10 years of experience volunteering for animal shelters and working with dogs!

About: I grew up with lots of animals in my house my whole entire life. Everything from birds, reptiles, fish to basic ones such as cats and dogs. In summer I was on farm with horses, cows, pigs, chickens and much more. I have been watching dogs for as long as I remember. Both in my house as well as other homes. I do rescues for a company that specializes in pit bulls. I love to spend time, play, teach and get to know the four legged friends. Life without cats, dogs and other furry animals would be really boring. It is an honor to be there to take care of your pet when you are in need. I'm happy to help with last minute emergencies.
About: I’ve worked with dogs of all shapes and sizes, I have volunteered countless hours in a shelter and have lived with dogs for the last 10 years. I have experience with both pure breed and rescues. I am an active person so your dog will always have someone to play with! I currently work nights so late night or early morning visits are never an issue! I love to stay active and four legged friends the attention they deserve, so if you want your animal to not only be acted for but loved then please reach out to me. Depending on the services provided and your dogs actively level I would love to take them for a long walk or chase each other in the backyard. I am currently a nursing student so I enjoy having an outlet of pet therapy to distract from the stress of school work.
“Michelle is the best! I needed a sitter last minute and she responded immediately. When I met her I could see she truly loved animals and my pets would be in good hands.

I would definitely recommend her to sit for your fur babies.”

“Alexis took great care of our dogs and provided regular updates. She was thoughtful, accommodating, and considerate with all of our plans. Would absolutely recommend her and would definitely book with her again!”
“Carla was awesome! I had a last-minute and unexpected opportunity to take my girlfriend and her grandson away for an overnight trip and didn't have a plan for the pups. Carla came through with a same-day booking request and the dogs had a great time. She was very responsive, and based on how well the boys slept when they got home, they had a great time playing with her dog while there!”
“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”
“Kim was very quick to respond to me whenever I wanted to check in and see how Ryder was doing. She was very friendly and welcoming. She sent me pictures and made me feel comfortable that my baby was in good hands. I would highly recommend her. This was my first time using a dog sitter and I am very pleased with the entire experience. Thank you again Kim for everything. I would use her again if I need a sitter.”
“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Andrea is a beautiful, intelligent and compassionate professional. She cares about the animals she looks after while 'pet parents' are away. She reduces anxieties naturally by listening carefully and observing astutely. Hygge had never been away or 'boarded' for pet sitting prior to my experience with Andrea. At all times she was communicative, caring and purposeful in her interactions with Hygge, who probably worried about being in a new home away from home for a few days on many levels. My transportation plans were delayed due to a severe storm that prevented my scheduled pick up, and Andrea was patient, reasonable and loving during my own stress about being stuck in NYC beyond my control for the pick up of my dog after traveling for a few days. She worked with me every step of the way, and the boarding experience was a total success even with transportation issues. Hygge returned home happy, healthy, well-nourished and satisfied with renewed confidence in his ability to work with another lovely family in our sweet community in a spirit of trust and sucess. All in all, I would recommend Andrea to work with anyone who has pets they love and want to broaden the scope of their pet's world by allowing Andrea to work with them and care for them. Andrea also understands the complexities of rescue animals, and will work with you so all are informed and kept in safe environments that nourish everyone's positive potential. She is also very pleasant and loving. She is a talented professional and a local treasure to all who come in contact with her.”
“Katarzyna or Kat is awesome and very knowledgeable about the needs of pit bulls. She was very attentive, punctual and my dog seemed to love his stay with her and her family. I was very worried and at first didn't want to leave him, but I could feel and see that he was in great hands. She also sent lots of photos. She is awesome and if I find the need to need a sitter again will definitely look her up!”

We would be more than happy to use Morgan again for any future needs we have.”
