“Kecia was so wonderful with our dog, she is very caring, patient, and loving! Throughout the few days our dog stayed with her, she cared for our dog as if she was one of her own. Kecia is very communicative, provided updates and pictures and seemed to really understand our dog's quirks and needs. We know she is good hands with Kecia. Highly recommend Kecia!”
“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!”
“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!!”
“Minako took wonderful care of my puppy while I was away. She picked him up and offered to drop him off. He also ate like a king while she prepared (with my permission) home cooked meals. He was living a great life while under Minako care.”
“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!”
“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!!”
“Sabrina is incredible and took special care of my dog. She keeps in constant contact with photos and videos. This was my first time using Rover and I will definitely book with Sabrina again. 10/10 fully recommend her!”
“The best home away from home for my pup! Such peace of mind knowing that my pup was so well cared for. Kris and Kaylie kept me updated throughout, and both gave my pup lots of love and care. So grateful to have found these terrific pup whisperers!”
“It has been a long time since I've had to board my pets with someone I didn't know. It is hard enough to leave our fur babies in the care of a friend or family member, but it is an more nerve-wracking experience to place them into the care of a stranger. Michael assuaged those fears before we even met him! He asked all the right questions about our boy's needs from the get-go (he's a large senior dog with arthritis) and gave me frequent updates and pictures of how he was doing. He walked our boy judiciously and gave him all of his food and medications just as we would. He was wonderful. It was such a relief knowing that our boy was in such capable, caring hands. We're in town for work but are lucky enough to have weekends off. We picked our boy up today and he looked so happy and healthy. Michael did such a great job that we're going to utilize his services again next week. I just can't say enough good things about him.”
“Sherry and Walter are just amazing ! They took really good care of our Luna , sending us pictures and updates on a daily basis Sherry’s pictures are professional level We would use them as our cat sitters in a heartbeat Thank you again”
“Teraesa was great with Leo! She was very communicative and sent lots of photos. I can tell he was very happy in her home :) I would definitely book with Teraesa again.”
“Another lovely, calm, thoughtful stay, even through the bitter cold! We are so grateful for your help with Gil. Our senior dog returns home happy and relaxed after his vacations in lower Manhattan :). Thank you again!”
“Zipper had such a great time with Renzo, I think he was sad to come home! We can just tell he felt safe and at home and Renzo was regularly updating us with pics and updates. Great communication. His apartment (and the art on the walls) is warm, clean and welcoming. We'll definitely be using him again!”
“We booked with Sanaz for a long weekend and Ivy adored her! She sent us daily updates and took Ivy on lots of walks. Ivy gets very anxious when we go anywhere without her, and Sanaz was very understanding of her separation anxiety and made her as comfortable as possible. She also was flexible with timing of drop offs and pick ups which was much appreciated!! Thank you so much! (:”
“Anastasiia was awesome! I boarded my dog with her while on a work trip. She was super reliable and sent regular updates with pictures and my baby (dog) seemed so well cared for! She also communicated quickly and was very flexible when my flight was delayed. Would definitely book with her again in the future!!”
“Kiersten and Casey are the best! Super accommodating. Just the right amount of pics and updates :) I knew my girl was in good hands the whole time. 10/10!”
“Breana & Adam were wonderful pup sitters! They were kind, very easy to communicate with, and I really enjoyed the daily updates with sweet notes about how my Shih Tzu Indie was doing at their apartment. Would recommend!!”
“Deibi and Tiffany took wonderful care of my two dogs over a long weekend. I received detailed updates, photos, and videos everyday. Tiffany was super responsive and she’s so kind! My dogs didn’t want to leave!!!”

“Carter is a great sitter! He understands how to make cats comfortable and makes sure that cat owners feel comfortably in-the-know while they're away.”
“This was our first time using a petsitting service while we traveled, and Samantha put us totally at ease! She did daily visits to our apartment to look after our 7 year old cat and sent lovely photos and report cards after each visit. Communication was friendly, prompt, and thorough. Samantha handled feeding, playtime, cuddles, and cleaning the litter box. We would highly recommend her services and will definitely book with her again next time we travel!”
“Diane was phenomenal! I’m new to using Rover, and she was patient enough to walk me through everything from start to finish. Her visits are also super well documented, and I can really feel how much she cares for the animals via the check-in cards!”
“This is the second time Rosanna has looked after our two cats, and we are once again thrilled. She was wonderful, sent us consistent updates on how they were doing, and we came home to two very happy little ones. We cannot recommend her enough!”
About: I had 2 cats growing up with health conditions that required special attention. While I don’t have a cat of my own these days, I’m always happy to meet a new friend!
“Vanessa is awesome! She spends extra time with Bella and seems to truly enjoy spending time with her. I will continue to book her as long as she is available.”
“Christopher was very nice to Zuu, gave Zuu a lot of caring, made sure he took his medication, and sent a lot of photos and clear summaries for his visits. I would def work with him again in the future!”
“Brianna was excellent with our shy cat! She not only took great care of him with all the essentials (food, water, litter, cleaning), but she helped him become very comfortable and he opened up to her a lot. He is an anxious boy so this was huge to us and showed how sweet and gentle she was with him. Brianna provided detailed notes and sent many photos, which I loved. I highly recommend Brianna as your petsitter!”
“Cheryl was so phenomenal with my cat Gandalf and went above and beyond with his visit. Chubby Gandalf sadly in his older age got diabetes (as most older, overweight, cats do) and she was able to administer his insulin shots perfectly!”
“Melanie is very reliable and was able to look after our cat last minute for the holiday weekend. We love her photos and updates and feel comfortable having her watch our cat each time we travel!”
“Cliff was a great sitter! He dropped in a couple times a day over the Christmas holiday to take care of our cat. He was a great communicator and was super reliable. I came home to a happy and well fed cat! Would highly recommend!”
“Megan was the BEST sitter ever for my kitty Casper! She is an absolute sweetheart, a great communicator, and took the best care of my cat while I was away. I would recommend her to anyone who needs a sitter! 10/10!!!”
“It left me with such a feeling of comfort and confidence having Esther drop in on my cats during the holidays. She was so communicative and caring! I’d recommend Esther to anybody needing someone to take care of their pet!”
About: I’ve cared for cats of all ages and personalities, helping friends, family, and neighbors with feeding, playtime, and daily routines. I’m very attentive to each cat’s unique needs whether that’s giving extra patience to shy cats or keeping high energy ones engaged! I’m also comfortable with litter box cleaning, maintaining a clean environment, and following specific care instructions. I genuinely enjoy being around animals and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.
“Samantha is AMAZING! My cats immediately warmed up to her and were comfortable around her upon meeting her. Shes attentive, professional, and genuinely cares about animals and made me feel at ease leaving my pets for a trip. Highly recommend her services!”

“I’m in from out of town. I have a real social dog and I loved the fact that Serena has 2 dogs of her own and that they all got along and played! Loved seeing all the video updates throughout the day, and appreciated the insightful questions on food and potty schedule. Will definitely book again.”

“Mari is sweet, caring, punctual, easy to work with and took incredible care of my pup. There were so many adorable photos of Cordelia throughout the day and best of all was Mari’s reliability and punctuality that made my drop off and pick up a breeze. I could tell my dog was relaxed and happy spending time with her. Highly recommend Mari as human and pup sitter!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have my own mini dachshund who just turned 5! He loves to play with other dogs and would keep yours company throughout the day. I work from home so am able to care for your dog all day. I take my dog out to go potty 3-4 times throughout the day so your dog will get the same love and attention! I live in a walk up apartment but am home all day. I have a living room where your dog can play with mine and space for beds where they can lay next to me while I work throughout the day. Eyes will always be on your baby :)
“Great dog sitter! Very caring, reliable, and attentive. I felt completely at ease leaving my dog with you. I really appreciate your patience and the love you showed him—especially since he can be a bit anxious. Definitely would book again! Thank you so much!”
“Georgia had a great day with Stella! Stella was so thoughtful and planned a fun outing to the park for Georgia even on a cold day and they got in some great cuddle time, too! She made herself right at home and looked very happy :)”
About: I have experience volunteering at the SFSPCA animal shelter in San Francisco. I walked dogs and received certification to take care of them. Growing up, I had a cat!

I do not own pets and can give your dog the attention they need. I have a rooftop with a grassy area that your dog can play at.
“Janet & Spencer are so sweet and took such great care of Rosa! They made sure she was comfortable and all her needs were met. She had a wonderful time with them!”

I’ve gained experience in dog care with taking care of friends pets over the years and more recently, with the 2+ years on rover. I’m comfortable with small to large dogs. I recently finished fostering a male cat from the ACC shelter and it was my greatest joy! Id love to help in anyway I can take care of your fur babies!

About: Hi! I’m Esther - a lifelong animal lover who’s raised dogs from high school through adulthood and now has a pup of my own. I know firsthand how much trust it takes to leave your fur baby with someone new, and I care for every pet with the same patience, gentleness, and consistency I give my own. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, temperaments, and little quirks - from shy rescues to playful puppies to senior sweethearts who need extra support. I’m attentive to animal body language and emotional needs, and I always take the time to make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and understood. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, so I can reliably drop in throughout the day - rain or shine - to keep your pet’s routine consistent. Whether your fur baby needs walks, meals, medication, enrichment time, or just extra cuddles, I’m happy to tailor my care to exactly what they need. Safety and cleanliness are extremely important to me. I always refresh water bowls, follow feeding routines closely, and make sure everything is secure before I leave. If you let me know where your trash can and cleaning supplies are, I’m more than happy to clean up any little “oopsies.” I can also vacuum or sweep up any litter that adventurous kitties might track around - whatever helps keep your home tidy and your pets comfortable. I also keep a close eye on pets at all times and send updates, photos, or videos so you always feel connected and at ease while you’re away.
“Cheryl walks Slash every week - she’s been a great help to us as we are in the office more often. She’s very communicative and adjusts what she does with Slash depending on weather or how energetic he is that day. Would definitely recommend Cheryl to anyone who needs a reliable dog walker!”
“Siddhi was a great person to take care of my dog! She met up the day before to go over all the instructions, gave regular updates, and even gave me some tips how to walk my own dog. Kaisa is 60 lbs so I was worried about her pulling too much on the walk but Siddhi is very familiar with all types of dogs and this was no problem for her. Great service overall!”
“Kayla is great with my pup, Holly, including getting Holly back in her crate after walks (Holly hates her crate), and during our meet and greet you could tell that Kayla is familiar with dog training techniques.”
“Onyx is always reliable, communicative, and responsible. I have trusted her to walk my dog Lucy every day and she has never missed a day without advanced notice. She always keeps me updated and pays close attention to any changes in behavior. I always felt that Lucy was safe and I didn't have to worry about her while I was at work. Unfortunately we are moving away or I would continue to use her service. I could not recommend her more!”
“Vanessa is very communicative and always on time & responsive. She’s been a star working with our very skittish and nervous bernese and has successfully made friends with our dog - which is hard to do. We are very happy to have found her!”
“Sonya is wonderful. She took great attention to making sure she understood our pup’s routine. She’s a natural with him as he was instantly comfortable being walked. We’d certainly work with Sonya again in the future.”
“Brismar has been walking our 4-month-old puppy and the puppy loves it. The reports we get back are helpful, like today “she is more obedient now, maybe because she trusts me more” and “I got a lot of kisses.””

“Booked a last min 5 night stay for my senior golden retriever! I sent an essay of instruction and Starry + Gio did an amazing job taking care of him. It was literally the coldest winter/weekend in NJ/NY area in the past 10+ years. They kept me updated constantly with walk pics throughout the day and pics of him in general! I was very happy to know that their dog (Walnut) is a sweetheart and gets along well with my dog! Highly recommend if you’re looking for a reliable and responsible couple to dog sit. Will definitely use again. Thank you!”

“Lu and Clay were really great with our boy, Pickles. They gave great updates and it was comforting to know our dog was with caring people. Can’t thank them enough for the great care they gave him.”
“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.”

“Samantha was so easy going and a great communicator. She sent regular pictures while I was away and Jasper didn’t want to leave 🙃 Highly recommend ❤️”
“Stella went absolutely above and beyond taking care of Bao for a long weekend. This was our first time leaving Bao with a boarder since getting her and I can't imagine anyone providing better care than Stella. We're so spoiled now! Stella sent very frequent and detailed updates each day and took Bao and her dog, Koukla on countless adventures during her stay. Stella is mindful about the number of dogs she has in her care at one time so she can give her undivided attention to your pup during their stay. It really felt like Bao was an honorary member of her family and we can't wait to send Bao back for another stay 🥰”
“Minnie is always comfortable staying with Xiao and her partner. They are truly wonderful with dogs, and it shows in how relaxed Minnie is every time. They also send amazing photos, including one from the first snow day, which was such a precious and memorable moment. I can always count on them when I need a sitter. Highly recommend!”
