“Thank you for taking such great care of my big guy! It is always easier leaving knowing he’s in good hands. I appreciated the regular updates and photos. Will be requesting to stay with Nick again in the future.”
“Jen did a great job with our beagle Daisy. She was inquisitive regarding Daisy’s needs, schedule, and likes/dislikes. She sent us pictures and updates throughout the time and even got Daisy to give a big smile on one of her pictures. We will definitely use her again.”
“This is the 1st time leaving my dog, Norma, with anyone is 7years… i couldn’t be any happier with how things went! Wenxu was so communicative and sent a million pictures throughout the day. Norma came home so happy from spending a ton of time outside, going for walks, and playing. I am already looking at my travel dates to book Wenxu again!!!!”
“Jordan is pleasant and responsive. Latke was returned happy and healthy. He let me know that he had another booking that would overlap mine, which turned out OK but would have been an issue if the dogs didn’t get along. His apartment is small and it would have been difficult to keep the dogs separated. Also I would have appreciated more photos, especially on the first day with the other dog. He responded promptly with pictures when prompted. Overall, I would recommend him.”
“I would highly recommend Yaina to anyone for dog boarding. She was excellent with communication and sent many pictures while my dog was with her. She made the process very easy and took great care of my dog.”
“Like most people, I was very nervous about leaving my dogs with someone while I was away. However, from the moment I met Alissa I knew my two babies would be okay. She spent a lot of time with us during our initial meet and greet. She answered all our questions and allowed our dogs to hang out in her backyard and just really reassured us that she will love them the same way we do. She communicated regularly while we were gone and sent pictures and videos. What I also appreciated is that she is flexible with drop off and pick up times. So instead of our dogs staying another night, we were able to pick them up on our way home from our trip. I would definitely recommend her to my friends and family.”
“Outstanding care. My 2 dogs were loved and spoiled from the moment I dropped them off to the time I picked them up. They enjoyed 6 days of playing and cuddling. Michelle sent daily updates and pictures. My dogs were safe and cared for. I would recommend her 100%. Thank you!”
“Can’t give enough nice feedback to Karine and Ryan- Radley was well cared for and Karine gave me lovely photos during her stay. Radley has now found a second mom! ❤️”
“My wife and I needed a last minute dog sitter, and we found dilania here on rover. Her response was quick. When we dropped our dogs off she gave updates and took great care of our pups.”
“We used Samantha K. while visiting from out of town for a wedding, and we could not have been happier! It is always stressful leaving your pup in an unfamiliar city, but Samantha K gave us total peace of mind. We received regular updates and photos, which allowed us to fully relax and enjoy the wedding celebrations knowing our dog was in great hands. They were incredibly professional, flexible with our shifting schedule, and truly loved our dog like their own. We highly recommend Samantha K to anyone—local or traveling!"”
“Julia was terrific! She and Bailey hit it off right away. Got a bunch of pics with Bailey out for a walk, playing with toys and a restful night sleep. Will use Julia again!”
“Kris took care of our dog, Luna over February break. We found him wonderful. He was caring towards Luna and always made sure to send pictures and videos. Luna came back so happy!”
“My first time booking with Wendy and everything was amazing! If we are ever in need of petsitting again, Wendy would be my first call. She was extremely communicative throughout, and sent us lots of photos and videos. My dog is a bit sensitive and like our baby, so we do not trust her in anyone’s hands. That said, I found her to be trustworthy and I knew my fur baby was in good hands!”
“Linda was great with Chase! He felt right at home with her from the very first minute he was in her home. She sent me updates and photos and even let him sleep in her bed when he was barking at night. Her daughter was there and was also wonderful with him. Definitely will use her again!”
“Sarah and her family were amazing with my Morkie. Coco can be a little particular with eating and bed times and Sarah was so accommodating! I will definitely use her again to watch Coco”
“Tanu is so wonderful. She took excellent care of Clover and he didn’t want to leave her until she walked him to the car to say goodbye. Thank you for spoiling my baby!”
“I am so glad to have found Xiaoying. She is excellent, experienced and knowledgeable. My dog was well cared for during his 6 day stay. We were updated daily with pics and videos of meal times, backyard activity and daily walking. She sure did treat my dog as her own and made her home, home for my Teddy. We will definitely be back. Thank you so much! 🩵🫶🏼”

“Erin took excellent care of my cats while I was away. She sent me daily pictures and updates, played with the kitties, refilled their water, and cleaned their litterboxes. My cats absolutely love her! She’s reliable and communicates well. I highly recommend her!”
About: I've had many different dogs over the years: labs, pit bull mixes, miniature pinscher, and german shepherds. I especially love GSDs and am very comfortable walking and taking care of them. I've dog walked/sat for a Rhodesian ridgeback mix as well as a springer spaniel. I was also owner to rescue dogs with severe anxiety. Overall, I'm comfortable with many different dogs! I'm currently working online, so I’m pretty flexible most weekdays. I'm often out and about finding new walking spots and exploring the neighborhoods. I have access to a car, so it's easy for me to stop by. I understand the safety precautions necessary to having a dog in the area with street crossing and other pedestrians and dogs. I will always prioritize your pet's safety!
“What a pleasure to work with Beatrice. She was very responsive, attentive, and a relief to hear from. She knew exactly how to approach our cat and did all the right things to help gain trust. I would trust Beatrice with our pet any day and will consider her services again when we travel. I look forward to recommending her to others as well. Thank you so much!”
About: I am an owner of two cats myself. A 4 year old Maine coon Nacho and a 7 year old rescue calico Annie. Throughout my childhood I’ve grown up with over 10 cats. Whenever family or friends go away I always step up to watch their cats. I am used to any kind of feedings, cleaning litter boxes, and can assist with medication if needed. I am pet CPR and first aid certified with American Health Training.
“Remi was an amazing pet sitter! She took such great care of my two cats while I was away and gave me real peace of mind. She was reliable, caring, and kept me updated, which meant so much to me. My cats can be very shy, but I could tell they were well looked after. She even went above and beyond by making sure everything was taken care of while I was gone. I highly recommend Remi to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter. Thank you again, Remi, for taking such wonderful care of Noah and Naomi!”
“Jordan is so sweet and attentive. He sent me updates after every visit, including several pictures! He gave my senior dog the extra TLC that she needed! He always showed up on time and was willing to go the extra mile. Would definitely recommend Jordan and will certainly be asking for him again in the future!”
“I cannot recommend Tori enough! Leaving my cats for two weeks was something I was really anxious about, but she made me feel completely at ease from the very beginning. She was incredibly reliable, attentive, and caring, and I could tell my cats were genuinely comfortable and happy with her (even one of my cats who is scared of everyone, liked her!) she has such good energy and she kept me updated throughout my entire trip, which gave me so much peace of mind and allowed me to actually relax and enjoy being away without constantly worrying about them. It’s such a huge relief to find someone you truly trust with your pets, especially for such a long trip. I came home to happy, well-cared-for cats and everything exactly as it should be. I’m so grateful for the care she gave them and will absolutely be using her again. If you’re nervous about leaving your pets, she is exactly the kind of person you want taking care of them!”
About: I have owned pets since I was 4 years old. I have worked in the veterinary field since I was sixteen and am starting my 2nd year of veterinary school at Long Island University. I am able to medicate any cats, as well as give any injections needed (ex. insulin). I have experience with my personal cats over the years, as well as taking care of and medicating the feral cats that I feed around my house.
“Ashley did a great job taking care of my two kitties for the week while I was on vacation with my family. She was extremely communicative, followed all directions and provided photos to help me feel better about being away from my babies for the week. Highly recommend.”
“I highly recommend Jessica! This is the second time she has watched my dogs. I have to hire someone to give my dog his meds at night if I am not around, and I trust her to do it! She is very kind and keeps you updated during the check in.”

“Mango had a great time with Rebecca & her bf! I was so happy with frequent updates and detailed info about his day with Rebecca. My pup is only 10 weeks old so def not easy to watch all day, but she really did an excellent job! I would definitely take Mango to Rebecca’s again!”
“Julia was great! We left our puppy Sonny with her one afternoon until the afternoon the next day and she kept sending us updates and pictures of him having fun. This made us feel so good knowing that she was taking the best care of him and that he was happy. We would definitely recommend and use Julia again.”
“My two German Shepherds, Snow and Magnum returned today from a two day stay with Loraine B. and her lovely family. My dogs do not always easily adjust to new surroundings. This time that was not the case. Both Snow and Magnum settled right in to Loraine's home and they were very comfortable with her attentive care. Don't think twice if you are looking for a loving place for your pets... they are in good hands with Loraine and her family. Just make sure to leave room for Snow and Magnum as they will be back with Loraine when next we need to be away. Thank you very much for the wonderful care!!”

“Wendy and her husband took great care of my dog and sent me updates during the day. Zoe can be shy and sensitive at first with new people, but she warmed up to them so quickly! Their dog Hero is so cute and playful as well. I would recommend her, and Zoe looks forward to her next daycare there!”
“She was very communicative, followed all of my instructions, and shared lots of photos and updates. She seemed genuinely caring toward my dog. I’d definitely book with her again!”
“I was very nervous about leaving my 11 year old havanese since he had only stayed with relatives. Phinny liked Kris right away, and Kris was sensitive to working with an anxious pup. Furthermore, all communication has been prompt and easy. We will definitely be using Kris for longer visits now!”
“June was able to get me in at the last minute, Layla is a very shy and anxious dog and when I came back to pick her up she was so calmy, happy and playing around thank you so much will def come again. :)”
“Juan was great. After the first day our dog ran to the door in excitement when getting dropped off. The home had a lot of space and Lola was kept entertained throughout the day.”
“Alissa is super nice and down to earth. We met with her for a meet and greet and my dog was comfortable with her and her home right away. She has two super sweet dogs of her own and her home is beautiful and cozy. She is quick to respond and has proven to be reliable and trustworthy. I would highly recommend her!”
About: I provide more than just pet care—I offer companionship, safety, and heartfelt attention to every animal I meet. Having grown up with dogs, I understand how each one has its own unique personality. Over the years, I’ve loved and cared for a playful pug, a loyal Labrador, and now share my life with the most amazing Golden Retriever. With this experience, your furry friend is in trusted, capable hands. Whether they need active playtime, cozy cuddles, or a calm presence, I always tailor my care to fit their individual needs. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine—I plan my days around the needs of the pets I care for. I make sure each pet gets the attention and consistency they deserve. I’m flexible with scheduling and committed to being reliable, so you can count on me to be there when your pet needs care the most. I am fully remote, so an always home with these guys. I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor play. If you're comfortable, my friendly dog would love to play with yours—but only with your okay. If not, no worries—he knows the routine and will happily stay separate.
“It was my first time having my dog with Michele and she took great care of my dog. She updated me every hour with photos and responded very quickly. It made me feel assured that my dog was doing good.”
“We traveled from out of town and needed a sitter for our Shih Tzu. I’d never used Rover and was a bit nervous leaving my baby with someone I didn’t know. I found Isabella and visited with her on zoom. Isabella was wonderful at relieving my fears. She sent pictures all day and was quick to respond to me when I checked on my baby! I will definitely use her again if I’m in the area and highly recommend her!”
“Yaina was fabulous. I have a very anxious dog and was worried about leaving her but she was very attentive, kept me updated, and made my pup feel comfortable. Highly recommend!”
“Amy is amazing! I felt so comfortable leaving my dog with her while I was at work. Having a meet and greet before made me feel safe and excited for her to watch Alfie! She is great with updates and communication and the entire stay was so seamless!”

About: I’ve always had a love for animals and truly enjoy spending time with them. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, bunnies, fish, hamsters, turtles, and other pets, and I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and little quirks. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, letting pets out, and simply giving them some extra love and attention while their family is away. I’m also happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and any specific instructions you leave for me. I currently care for pets as part of my regular work with a family, so I understand how important it is to know that your animals are safe and well cared for when you can’t be there. I also have experience administering medications and providing IV fluids to cats who require extra care. I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and plenty of attention. Whether your pet is energetic and wants to play, loves a good walk, or just wants some company and cuddles, I’m happy to meet them where they are. Most importantly, I want you to feel comfortable knowing your pets are in caring, dependable hands while you’re away. 🐾❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m available during the day and in the evenings for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and giving pets the attention and care they need. I’m happy to work around each pet’s individual schedule and keep their routine as consistent as possible while their family is away. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, and I’m dependable, attentive, and happy to give each pet the time and care they deserve. I’m available for evening visits, but I do not offer overnight stays. I care for pets in their own home by following their normal routines and the safety guidelines provided by their family. I make sure dogs are securely leashed and supervised, gates and doors are safely closed, and crates are used when they are part of the pet’s routine. For cats and other animals, I make sure they have a safe, comfortable space and that their food, water, litter, and surroundings are kept clean. I always follow specific instructions from the owner and never leave a pet in a situation where they could get hurt or escape.
“Nicholas walked my corgi, Santiago, while I was out of town for a couple of days. He went above and beyond and I would highly recommend him to walk/care for your pup. When Santiago met Nicholas he was immediately able to make a connection with him and I felt confident that he would be a good walker for Santiago. Santiago can be stubborn and Nicholas was patient and flexible with Santiago’s needs. Santiago can’t go up and down the stairs and Nicholas was really understanding and carried him up and down the stairs for his walks. Nicholas kept me up to date on Santiago’s walks and sent pictures which I really appreciated. I also just appreciated Nicholas enthusiasm and sense of humor when dealing with Santiago’s silliness during walks. I would highly recommend Nicholas to care for your pup.”

“I needed a last-minute dog walker for Bella and Chanel and found Jessica, she responded quickly and was great with her! Bella and Chanel loved the walk, and I received updates and photos. Highly recommend for anyone in a pinch!”
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by animals—dogs(5), cats(2), and even lizards—so caring for pets comes naturally to me. From playful puppies to gentle seniors, I give every pet the love, patience, and attention they deserve. I’ve adopted most of my own pets and know how to make animals feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. Being away for college makes me miss my own pets so caring for yours is a joy that feels like home. Im currently in school but am in class on Mondays and Wednesdays from 10:50 am and 3:30 pm. On Tuesdays and Thursdays I am in class from 9 am to 12 pm and free for the rest of the day. On Fridays I have on class at 11 am and nothing prior or after. The weekends are also free. I will always prioritize safety and respect when caring for pets in their own homes. I follow all the owner’s rules carefully—whether it’s about feeding schedules, playtime limits, or medication. I make sure doors and gates are secure, and keep a close eye on the pet’s behavior to spot any signs of stress or discomfort. I creating a calm, comforting environment so pets feel safe and loved while their family is away. Communication with the owner is important to me, so I keep them updated and address any concerns promptly. My goal is to make both pets and owners feel confident and comfortable.
About: Hiya! I’m Bea, a college student with years of hands on experience caring for both dogs and cats. While I don’t currently have pets of my own, I’ve spent most of my life helping care for the pets of friends and neighbors. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I’m usually the person everyone asks to watch their pets when they’re away! What sets me apart is the amount of care and attention I give every animal. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, and comfort level so they feel safe and happy while you’re away. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or shy and cautious, I’m patient and let them adjust at their own pace. I’m experienced with: - Puppies and kittens - Senior dogs and cats - Large and small dog breeds - Multi pet households - Administering medications (including pills and eye drops) - Feeding, walking, bathing, brushing, cleaning litter boxes and/or pee pads, and playtime - Basic training, including recall and simple commands One of the puppies I currently care for has been with me since she was about 2-3 months old. We’ve worked on recall and basic tricks together, and I love helping young dogs build confidence while making learning fun. During teething, I noticed she had stopped eating her dry food, so after discussing it with her owner, I recommended switching to a softer option and monitored her closely afterward to make sure she adjusted well. I also have experience with senior cats, including caring for an 18 year old cat with vision and mobility changes. I understand that every stage of life comes with different needs, and I’m happy to adapt my care accordingly. When we’re out on walks, I always bring waste bags and water, and I make safety my top priority. At home, I enjoy keeping pets engaged with play, enrichment, cuddles (if they want them!), and plenty of attention. I’m also more than happy to send frequent photo and video updates, because I know how comforting it is to see your pet happy while you’re away. I’m a bit of a neat freak, so you’ll never have to worry about coming home to a mess. I’m happy to clean up after pets and even help with little household tasks like bringing in mail or watering plants if needed. My goal is simple: I want every pet to feel loved, safe, and cared for as if they were my own. I know how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member with someone else, and I take that responsibility very seriously. I can’t wait to meet you and your best friend! As a college student taking one class each weekday morning during the summer, I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to your pet. Outside of class, I’m available for walks, drop in visits, daycare, and house sitting. I believe every pet deserves individual attention, so I make sure they get plenty of exercise, playtime, affection, and mental enrichment while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my top priority. I like to spend the first little while getting to know your pet’s personality and comfort level so I can adjust my care to their individual needs. Every animal is different, and I believe they deserve care that’s personalized rather than having a “one size fits all” ideology. I also take the time to learn each pet’s routine and any special instructions before providing care. During walks, I always bring waste bags and water, pay close attention to my surroundings, and make sure your pet is secure at all times. In your home, I’ll respect your space, keep everything clean, and follow your care instructions closely. I’ll also send regular photo and video updates so you can feel confident knowing your pet is happy and safe.

About: After having to rehome my sweet Morkie (Maltese-Yorkie mix) due to housing arrangements, I’ve made it my mission to love and care for every pet as if they were my own. Your furry friend’s comfort and happiness will always come first with me! I never tire of playtime and have plenty of energy to keep up with even the most playful pups—but I also adore snuggling with laid-back dogs who just want some company. Since I love being outdoors and staying active, I’d be more than happy to take your dog on long walks or fun outdoor adventures. And for the cat parents out there—I’m a huge cat lover and would be thrilled to care for your feline friends. 😊 I work from home full-time with a flexible schedule, which means I have plenty of time to devote to your furry friends. My schedule is open and adaptable, so feel free to reach out with any inquiries—I’ll do my best to make it work! I live in a rental home without access to a backyard, but I’m just a short 10-minute walk from a park I know well and love visiting with pets. At home, I have two older, friendly cats who are very relaxed and comfortable around dogs. I’m happy to care for your pets in whatever way works best—whether that’s playing indoors at your home, enjoying some outdoor time around your neighborhood, or heading to the park for extra fun and exercise!

“Thank you for taking such great care of my big guy! It is always easier leaving knowing he’s in good hands. I appreciated the regular updates and photos. Will be requesting to stay with Nick again in the future.”
“Jen did a great job with our beagle Daisy. She was inquisitive regarding Daisy’s needs, schedule, and likes/dislikes. She sent us pictures and updates throughout the time and even got Daisy to give a big smile on one of her pictures. We will definitely use her again.”
“Jordan is pleasant and responsive. Latke was returned happy and healthy. He let me know that he had another booking that would overlap mine, which turned out OK but would have been an issue if the dogs didn’t get along. His apartment is small and it would have been difficult to keep the dogs separated. Also I would have appreciated more photos, especially on the first day with the other dog. He responded promptly with pictures when prompted. Overall, I would recommend him.”
“I would highly recommend Yaina to anyone for dog boarding. She was excellent with communication and sent many pictures while my dog was with her. She made the process very easy and took great care of my dog.”
“Outstanding care. My 2 dogs were loved and spoiled from the moment I dropped them off to the time I picked them up. They enjoyed 6 days of playing and cuddling. Michelle sent daily updates and pictures. My dogs were safe and cared for. I would recommend her 100%. Thank you!”
“My wife and I needed a last minute dog sitter, and we found dilania here on rover. Her response was quick. When we dropped our dogs off she gave updates and took great care of our pups.”
“Julia was terrific! She and Bailey hit it off right away. Got a bunch of pics with Bailey out for a walk, playing with toys and a restful night sleep. Will use Julia again!”
“Kris took care of our dog, Luna over February break. We found him wonderful. He was caring towards Luna and always made sure to send pictures and videos. Luna came back so happy!”
“My first time booking with Wendy and everything was amazing! If we are ever in need of petsitting again, Wendy would be my first call. She was extremely communicative throughout, and sent us lots of photos and videos. My dog is a bit sensitive and like our baby, so we do not trust her in anyone’s hands. That said, I found her to be trustworthy and I knew my fur baby was in good hands!”
“Tanu is so wonderful. She took excellent care of Clover and he didn’t want to leave her until she walked him to the car to say goodbye. Thank you for spoiling my baby!”
“Judy took great care of my dog and kept me posted with regular updates. Communication was smooth and easy and she was flexible with timings, which really helped me!”
“Shirley was great. She watched our very large, very energetic puppy. She was patient with him and spent lots of time playing with him! She also sent frequent updates. This was our first time leaving him and Shirley made sure he was happy and well cared for.”
“Literally a staycation for our pup. Vanessa went above and beyond with everything !! We received pics and updates daily which put us at ease on vacation. A real home away from home for any dog lucky enough to get time with their family!”
“Elvia and her family are wonderful. Chloe had the best time!!! Chloe is definitely looking forward to going back to Elvia. Thank you for taking such great care of Chloe ❤️❤️❤️❤️”
“If you want your pup to feel like they're at a home away from home - book with Tina. She and her family (two young children who will entertain your dog endlessly) will provide a loving environment with lots of play and attention. I boarded my 7 year old pit mix for several days and he felt right at home immediately. Tina was great sharing photos and videos of Lincoln playing in the fenced in back and taking lots of walks (I think he thought twice about coming back home :)). So happy I found her.”
“Amy is the most caring and thoughtful caregiver. We are grateful to know her and appreciate the fun updates she sends. She takes the doggie on cool adventures. He loves seeing her.”
“I had a fantastic experience with this dog boarding provider! From the moment I dropped my pup off, I felt completely at ease. William was kind, patient, and clearly passionate about animals. He provided regular updates, photos, and videos, which truly gave me peace of mind while I was away. I would book him again.”
“Marcelina was absolutely fabulous with my two dogs. She took such good care of them. Her communication with me over the stay was consistent, prompt and she sent videos and pictures of my pups. Her home is beautiful and I would absolutely leave my dogs with her again. A great experience!!”
