“Euitae was amazing with our pup Nutmeg! He was incredibly responsive, sent us plenty of photos, and treated her like one of his own. We felt completely at ease knowing she was in such good hands and look forward to having Euitae care for Nutmeg again soon.”
“Ryan was a phenomenal sitter! He was quick to accept my last minute request. He was attentive and followed all my instructions while sending video and picture updates at my preferred cadence! Ryan is great with dogs and even offered a few toys and treats of his own while checking with me first to see if ok. Ryan was an amazing sitter and I plan to use him again!”
“This was the second time my Noodles spent time with John. He came home super calm, happy and tired which is so unusual for this energetic puppy. Thank you so much!”
“Amazing service as usual! Cookies came home happy and smelling good and Iliana washed his diapers and bed. I couldn’t ask for a more reliable, understanding and kind sitter to care for Cookies. Thank you so much!”
“Jatna is so sweet warm responsible so glad I trusted her with my 🐶 Leo while I was away definitely would leave Leo with her again she would send photos and videos everyday and always was in contact and very easy to communicate through out my vacation best dog sitter ❤️”
“Janise and her family took the absolute BEST care of my Daisy! From the moment she arrived, I knew she was in the best hands. Daisy had so much fun that she didn’t even want to leave! She especially loved spending time with Frankie, their incredibly sweet and gentle Bernedoodle, and I know Daisy will miss him so much! I also can’t thank Janise and her family enough for being so accommodating when I unexpectedly needed to add an extra day of boarding at the last minute. They were incredibly kind and flexible, and throughout the entire stay, day and night, I knew Daisy was safe, happy, loved, and well cared for. I couldn’t have asked for a better family to care for my girl. I’m so grateful and would recommend Janise and her family to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their fur baby! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Leaving our dog is never easy, however Bridget made him feel right at home. She always kept us updated and sent us updates, pictures and videos all of the time. She has her own dog, so we were worried about how he’d react to coliving in another dogs home. We were told after a day, the two got along very well. Bridget was very cool about drop off/pick up times as well, as we dropped him off pretty late, since she had work. But we also picked him up pretty late, as our flight back was a little delayed. Overall, our dog came back happy and excited to see us and we could tell he was well taken care of. Thanks Bridget!”
“Ryan and Jefra are the best sitters any pets could ever have! Thank you for taking such great care of our doggos. Will definitely book your services again!”
“Sammi and Jason were wonderful hosts to Fala. We had a meet-and-greet at their apartment so Fala could acclimate, which she did right away, and the night's stay went smoothly. Sammi sent me updates and photos, and asked insightful questions about how Fala typically adjusts to new environments (which is to say, a bit tentatively - no worries there). I appreciated the questions and have already booked another stay!”
“Anton was very kind and accommodating of my anxious dog. It was the very first boarding experience for my dog, Reiki, and he was very nervous when we arrived at Anton's place. I was worried that he would stay restless, but I was totally wrong! Anton sent me photos and updates, which made me feel safe asking more of his service again. Reiki was able to calm down within hours under his care, and very much enjoyed spending time with him 😄.”
About: I’ve had cats and dogs my whole life and love caring for animals. I’ve fostered 14 cats, including kittens, undersocialized cats, and cats recovering from surgery, as well as fostered two dogs. I’ve also been a neighborhood dog walker and have cared for family pets. I’m comfortable with animals of all ages and personalities and always make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to accommodate different pet care needs. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and provide consistent, reliable care based on what works best for you and your pet. I have my own cat at home, so pets staying in my home must be comfortable and get along well with cats. I always prioritize safety and make sure every pet has a calm, comfortable environment while in my care. For pets who aren’t comfortable around cats, I’m happy to provide care in their home instead.
“Steven was excellent with our cat Tulip! We chatted beforehand and he was clearly very knowledgeable about cats, and really zeroed in on Tulips preferences and comfort in new environments. Drop-off was a breeze, and Tulip quickly started to explore the apartment. Steven gave updates multiple times per day and shared lots of videos and pictures. He even went out to get more cat food when what we brought was insufficient! Steven was an incredibly experienced, enthusiastic, and respectful caregiver for our cat. We definitely plan on using him again in the future!”
“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!”
“Wei Han is hands down the most caring, considerate, and responsible dog sitter/carer we know! Our dog loved being with her, and enjoyed her special treats and regular fun outings. He got a wonderful staycation while we were away, and came back to us happy and relaxed. Thank you!”
“Mykala and her partner took great care of my dog Tails! It was a fairly last minute request for multiple days of boarding so I was very relieved to find good caregivers for him. They provided lots of updates and Tails enjoyed spending time with their dog Boots. I would book again!”
“Adam was great. I used him a few times while in New York on holidays. He is flexible, friendly and great with dogs. I will use him again next time I’m back :-)”
“To say that Kessy went above and beyond would be an understatement. She took such amazing care of Chutney while we were out of town. He had some tummy issues during his stay and she was extremely attentive, informative, and pleasant throughout, even though she got more than she bargained for. Kessy clearly loves dogs and it was a comfort to know that Chutney was I'm such good hands.”
“I have a senior dog with some specific needs and Jiaxu took great care of her while I was away! She sent me photos, videos and updates every day and made sure to clarify any questions she had so that she could take the best care of my dog. I would leave my dog in her care again and would definitely recommend her to other pet parents. 😊 Thanks, Jiaxu!”

“Laura has been amazing! Her communication was great and she took great care of our pup Nenya. We could tell that Nenya loves her when we picked her up. She had a super calm and nice approach with her which is great because she is a little bit more on the shy and anxious side. Will definitely book Laura again :)”
“Pablo had a great stay with Kehlani and was very happy when I picked him up. Additionally, Kehlani was very responsive before and during the time she cared for him. I was also appreciative of the fact she was available on somewhat late notice. I will definitely check to see if she is available the next time we need a dog sitter.”
“Cassandra and Jennifer were amazing! Our dog was smiling when we picked her up. I’d highly recommend Cassandra and Jennifer and we plan to use them again.”

“Jay and his partner Ana were incredible. Jay was highly communicative, accommodating and good with our puppy Kona. They went above and beyond to not only set up Kona’s crate and send us cute updates every few hours but also take her to the groomer’s for us and liaison between us and the groomer for that appointment. I know Kona had such a blast with their dog Dani and a visiting one, it was a really ideal daycare situation! We’ll for sure be back to them when we need help again.”
“Wei and Jason have been my go to sitters for Nellie for a couple of years now. Nellie has difficulties staying alone but with Euitae I can go to work calmly knowing Nellie is having a fulfilling day and with pictures to boot, highly recommend!”
About: My love for dogs started the moment a stray wandered into my yard when I was a child - I hid him in the backyard for three days before my parents found out ! :) I’ve been caring for animals in various capacities for most of my life and have been part of the Rover community since 2022.

Can’t wait to meet you! 🐾 I am currently a full-time PhD student working remotely. I typically have a few social events in the evening or weekends for a few hours. Otherwise I’m home and able to care for your furry one full time! :) I will always follow the rules of your home and take their health needs seriously, caring for them as if they were my own fur baby!
“Carly took such great care of Mango! She made sure she got multiple walks in and kept me updated with messages and pictures, which I really appreciated. It was my first time leaving Mango, so I was a little nervous, but Carly made the whole experience so easy and reassuring. Mango clearly felt super comfortable, she had such a good time she didn’t even miss me 😭 You can tell Carly genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. I’d absolutely trust her with Mango again and highly recommend her 💛”

“Urvi was great with Ruckus! He's our 4 month old pup who has a habit of living up to his name, so we were really grateful to be able to entrust him with her for the day.

Ruckus seemed to have a great time, and he was clearly happy and relaxed when I grabbed him at the end of the day. We would absolutely recommend Urvi!”

Lee was so thoughtful and kind, and sent so many pictures and videos as she knew I was worried (this was the first time we tried day care), and made me feel at ease. She is truly a great mama and it felt like she was my good old friend, and my pup's auntie. Thank you Lee and Alex! Satto can't wait to spend time with you and his new dog friends again!”

“Anton was very kind and accommodating of my anxious dog. It was the very first boarding experience for my dog, Reiki, and he was very nervous when we arrived at Anton's place.

Reiki was able to calm down within hours under his care, and very much enjoyed spending time with him 😄.”
“Yusuf was so easy and quick to communicate with and he accepted our last-minute booking. He went above and beyond by taking Pepper to the park even though he could have stayed in his yard, just because it was a nice, sunny day.”
“Alyona was terrific with my puppy Bennet. She sent pictures and updates throughout Bennet’s stay and assured me that she was doing well. Alyona was inquisitive about Bennet’s habits and likes and that clearly translated into how she cared for my puppy during her stay. I will absolutely rebook in the future.”
“Anna is the best. She was so patient and kind with my kitty. She made Vienna feel so comfortable and she kept me updated on her stay. Vienna has found her new home away from home ❤️”

“So happy we found Damaris to care for our dog Dion while we are away out of country. This is our 1st time using Rover and she was accommodating for a meet & greet beforehand. Her place is very clean and suitable for small dogs with a nice outside area. Damaris is truly caring and went out of her way to pick up Dion from our friend's place so wouldn't miss a flight! We feel at ease knowing our dog is well cared for. Overall, a positive experience and will bring Dion back again!”
“Seoyoung & Donguk were absolutely amazing with my 16yo Shih-Tzu, Abru. They gave plenty of daily updates and photos which gave me so much peach of mind since it was a long stay. It was obvious they took excellent care of him and that he was clearly spoiled with attention and love. I could not have been more happy and pleased with the level of attention they provided. I highly recommend them and we will definitely be using them to care for our fur baby again!”

We felt completely at ease while we were away and would happily book with her again.”
“Eric took great care of our rescue dog, Yoshi, for the weekend. Yoshi is a rescue with severe separation anxiety and a fear of strangers. Eric has a relaxed and confident demeanor that worked well with our dog, and also sent us lots of pictures and informative updates (what they were doing, how Yoshi's health was regarding a recent upset stomach he was recovering from). He's also a walker so I wasn't worried about Yoshi getting enough exercise. We look forward to booking Eric again!”
“Matthew was awesome watching our dog on short notice. He communicated very well, and his flexibility with our changing schedule on drop-off day was much appreciated. Most importantly, it was clear that our dog was being treated like family and being given attention, exercise, and a comfortable place to stay without us. We would definitely rebook with Matthew!”
“Anthony was super understanding when it came to our puppy’s schedule while boarding our two pups. He provided frequent updates so that we didn’t have to worry about how he was doing. Great overall experience.”
