“I am one satisfied customer. Ryan took excellent care of my dog for one week. He stayed in contact with me for the duration of the week via text and emails. Ryan sent several pictures not to mention asking questions pertaining to my dogs needs. He is an excellent dog sitter. Trust me when I tell you booking him is a fantastic choice!!!”
“Each time we leave Nutmeg in Euitae’s hands we know she will receive the best care and love. She loves staying there and her walks in the park, and we love the photos, communication and updates.”
“John is great with my tiny poodle! My girl Eva has anxiety and I know she must be crying for me pretty badly at first.. since she annoys my own family when I leave. When she comes back home after a stay at John’s she is literally so much more relaxed 😌 He communicates with a daily update that brightens our day. Thank you John for the care!”
“Eva was kind, flexible, and communicative. She clearly loves dogs and took good care of Wallace. But appreciated her accommodating my schedule around the busy holidays.”
“Adam was great! It was the first time we were away from our puppy over night and we were very nervous. He took great care of her and sent us videos everyday! Will definitely use him again:)”
“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!”
“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!”
“Roman was incredible. He sent us daily pictures and videos and was very communicative. He took such great care of Luna for 2 weeks, taking her for long walks in the park. We will absolutely work with him again.”
“Lal was amazing! She watched our puppy and was very communicative and committed to taking great care of him! It was our first time leaving him and we were so pleased with her and are glad to have a trusted sitter!”
“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 😄.”
“Excellent sitters, straightforward reliable daily communications, perfect neighborhood location, professional but warm approach to the pet. While our dog was very happy to see us return and come home, he wasn’t jumping crazy out of his mind which to me is an indication the he was also quite happy with the sitters. Highly tecommend!”
“Eleanor took amazing care of my Tex! She asked all the right questions, gave him the best care, and was extremely thorough and responsive. Tex was thrilled to stay with her and we highly recommend her! Thank you so much, Eleanor!”
“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!!!”
“Michael is simply the greatest dog boarder in the history of the world. When you book through Michael, though, you don't just get him, you also get his amazing wife, too. Michael took care of my dog Lucas during a medical emergency. I was at work at the hospital after midnight. We were terribly low-staffed. There was no one to take over my patients. If I'd left work, I probably would have lost my license and been fired for abandonment. Michael took my dog to an emergency 24 hour vet and didn't get back home until like 2 in the morning. The care he took of my dog went above and beyond. He is awesome, he is amazing, he is smart and capable and caring, I cannot say enough good things about him. You can trust your fur babies with Michael. With him and his wife, they are in amazing hands. It's always scary entrusting your canine children to a stranger, but with Michael you realize that he's not a stranger, he's the family member you didn't know you had. Thank you Michael!!!”
“Angelique was a lifesaver. She took care of our sweet boy while we were away for the weekend. She was so attentive and communicative when he had unexpected stomach issues and made sure our boy was well taken care of. Truly appreciate her and could not recommend more highly!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better experience for our puppy than we got with Wei Han. She took care of our pup like it was her own. More than just taking care of her, she gave our puppy new experiences while we were away. She’s incredibly responsive and sent daily updates making the experience totally stress free.”
“Victoria was so wonderful with our two pups, and hopefully our new go-to sitter! We did a meet and greet before to ensure it was a good fit. She sent lots of videos and picture updates throughout the stay, which I really appreciated and reassured that they were in good hands. The dogs came back healthy and happy - would highly recommend Victoria if you’re looking for a trusted dog lover!”
“Aydrian is very knowledgable about dogs. He felt out Dahlia and figured out the best way to handle her. He also gave us great tips on how to walk/train her so she doesn't pull. He was very attentive and kept us abreast of everything that was going on, including photos. The last time we used Rover she was a puppy, but now that she's an adult she has changed, it was our fault for not noticing and being clear that she is shy and nervous at first. I highly recommend Aydrian.”
“Bailey has been truly a blessing. Her dog, Duke, is an absolute gentleman and has become my dog’s bestie! Bailey is highly communicative, thoughtful, and above all else, treats my dog like her own. I am so grateful to have found Bailey! I will absolutely be rebooking!”

“Beth is amazing! This is my second time having her watch my cats and she always takes such great care of them!! We had a last minute foster cat added to the visit and she was so flexible and patient with them and was very understanding dealing with them being kept separated. She sends lovely photos and gives very detailed reports. Can’t recommend Beth enough!!!!”
“Martina is definitely the best Rover we’ve used - super attentive, communicative and thoughtful. She truly spends the entire visit caring for your pet and sent tons of adorable photos and videos of our cat (which was especially helpful since this was the longest we had left our cat with a Rover). Truly exceptional - will definitely be using her again!”
“Great experience! Roman was responsive from the very first message, flexible with scheduling, and clearly comfortable with the cats. I loved the videos and photos he sent during each visit — it was reassuring to see Samson and Abigail getting attention and playtime. Would definitely book again.”
“Ryan was wonderful. He was very responsive, always prompt, and very caring. Sunny and Penny really appreciated the love and playtime Ryan provided them. Would absolutely use him again cat sitting!”
“Mackenzie is always incredibly reliable and sweet with our cat Mocha! She even went beyond typical drop-in responsibilities and refilled the humidifier so Mocha would be comfortable while we were away. Can’t recommend Mackenzie enough!”
“Angelique did a great job! Her communication was great, and she would stay for extra time to play with the cats. I highly recommend her to anyone that needs a cat sitter!”
“Haziza was amazing! She always sent updates and pictures of my cat and was super responsive to all my questions. My cat is shy but after a few days she was snuggled up with Haziza, which goes to show how good she is with kitties!”
“I would highly recommend Leta. She went above and beyond taking care of my cat over the holidays. She was very communicative and I felt assured that he was in good hands. I will definitely be booking her again!”
“Claire was absolutely fantastic! She is so communicative, so responsive and so punctual. Claire's visit summaries and photos are so thorough that I never had to ask any questions. I knew that my Lulu was in great hands with Claire and I look forward to working with her again in the future.”
“Birger was SO amazing with Rose and so attentive and responsive. He took such amazing care of her and she was in the best mood when I got home. It's clear she got lots of cuddles and scritches as she was in such a sweet and happy mood when I got home. Birger provided me amazing updates and lots of cute pictures to tide me over while I was gone. Thank you, Birger!!”
“Bridget was a wonderful caretaker for our senior cat! She gave him a lot of love and went above and beyond to keep our apartment looking nice (cleaned up litter, hairballs, wet food dishes, etc.) She is a wonderful communicator and is such a lovely and upbeat person! I will definitely be asking for her wonderful services again.”
“Rosanna was very sweet with our cats and kept them happy during our absence. She sent us great photos and detailed reports of every visit. It's obvious she has a lot of experience with cats and that gave us peace of mind.”
“Rebecca was so great with our kitties! Very respectful and professional and also great with our shy little cats. Gave us updates and lots of pics. We'll definitely use her again!”

“Olivia took care of my cat this past holiday week and was very dependable. She sent pictures almost every visit and my cat doesn’t seem stressed at all even after I left him for 10 days. He seemed groomed and the litter was clean. She also helped with bringing the mail. I would totally recommend her.”
“With less than a day of notice Scott stepped in to help take care of our kitten Eloise!! A true life saver for us unexpectedly needing to go out of town. He truly goes above and beyond and Eloise loves him too :)”

“Euitae was amazing! He took care of Kairo for a couple of hours and he left us energetic and came back tired. We love to see that, and I’m glad Euitae kept up with Kairo’s exercise! Will definitely be using his services in the future :)”
“She took amazing care of our dog during doggy day care. She sent lots of pictures and even sent him home with some fancy treats! He was well loved and cared for.”
About: I’ve taken care of my family dog since I was 10. I’ve also watched family friends and relatives animals for them when they are away on vacation! I’m currently working hybrid so I can be home most days if needed when boarding an animal! I will enjoy being able to get out of my apartment every few hours to take the dog for long walks! I live in an apartment with a roommate and we always keep the door locked when we are in and out of the home. My roommate has a standard poodle who is super mellow and great with other dogs!
“Haziza was so sweet and caring with my dog. He has separation anxiety and she went the extra mile to make him feel comfortable. Great communication with pictures and very prompt! Thank you so much!”
“Tracy is a fantastic sitter and we couldn’t be happier that we’ve found her. She is so welcoming, kind, caring and informative and you can tell she loves spending time with dogs. Tracy and Nookie invited our dog Sandy into their home and they had a great time together, Sandy came home shattered which was just what we were after. Tracy provides updates and regular communication and we can’t wait for Sandy to stay with her again as we know she is well looked after and loved, which is a massive relief. We highly recommend Tracy to take care of your dog as she knows exactly what they need.”
“Hugo & Katie were amazing with our puppy Lady. They brought her to the park, were very attentive and provided updates along the day on how she was doing. They have another dog Riley who was sweet and got along nicely with our dog. Perfect first experience on this app, would highly recommend them!”

I've stayed in others' homes while caring for their dogs for extended and overnight stays and I am courteous, clean, and respectful of your space and privacy.
“Lee is an awesome sitter who we have used a couple times now. Our dog is super nervous and the first time our dog spent most of the day visibly nervous. But Lee was not deterred and very patient, gave our dog space and tried multiple approaches to get in her good graces. The second visit our dog warmed up to Lee and was taking pets and giving her kisses by the end of the day. Lee is incredibly communicative and gifted with dogs, we are very grateful for her patience and sticking with it. We look forward to using her (and her family) again.”
“Sierra is so amazing with Stout! She is like a second mama to my fur baby and I trust her with him completely! He loves her so much and is always so happy to see her!”

“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 💛”

If your home needs a light tidy or your pet makes a mess, I'd also be happy to clean that up for you.
