“Anner is very professional. He is flexible with time changes to pick up and drop off. He also takes great care of my pup when he is there. Even lightly grooming him smelling fresh and trimmed nails. Highly recommend to anyone looking for dog assistance.”
“We are truly grateful to Lily for the loving care she gave to our little dog, Kodi. During Kodi's stay with Lily, she sent us daily pictures & videos of our pet. Clearly, he had a fantastic time with Lily & her lovely family. We really appreciated the thoughtfulness of her daily communications with us & all the care she gave to our little pet. Lily's an outstanding care taker.”

“Carrigan was very easy to deal with and communicated clearly. My dog seemed to have had a good time at their sleep over. I would definitely have her take care of Selena again.”
“So happy with the care and attention that Farva provided, particularly since my older lab has mobility issues. We enjoyed the daily pics and videos. Highly recommended.”
“Barkley had a great time staying with Andrea ! Barkley enjoyed playing outdoors and with other pups while I traveled . I had great peace of mind knowing that she was well cared for by Andrea ! Sylvia L.”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I am a Vet Tech full-time with hands-on experience working around dogs in both grooming and veterinary settings. I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities and needs, including those who require extra patience or medical attention. I provide loving, reliable, and attentive care while keeping pet parents updated so they always feel at ease and informed. I currently work a full time job as a vet tech in a local general practice, if I’m pet sitting I’m allow to take them with me, where they are going to be loved for everyone working there. I’m off Tuesday, Thursdays and saturdays afternoon and Sunday all day, mon-wed-Friday work 9-5 My location is 2min from a dog park where I walk my own pets everyday. I’ll always use leash walking them. Also I’ll be sending pictures to owners every day to keep owners informed
“Irene was awesome, very good vibes, a peaceful home setting & my Shih Tzu loved staying with her, playing in her big enclosed yard & going on walks with her, etc. while we were on our family cruise. My fur baby was in good hands with her & I'll definitely board her with Irene the next time we go away!”
“Kya had the best time with Tina and Troy! Tina gave her the best care and sent pictures and videos of her having the best stay! Thank you so much for making sure Kya had a great stay and for making us feel so comfortable! 10/10 Recommend!”
“Karine was absolutely wonderful. We could tell our pup was expertly cared for during our time away. He had an amazing time with Karine, her husband and the other dogs. She was very consistent with updates, and made us feel at ease during the whole stay. We would recommend her to anyone 1000%”
“1st time using Laura’s services and i must say she was amazing. She was very polite and professional. She took great care of my dog while i was gone and was accommodating. Her setup and grounds were great. She communicated each day with pics and updates. I will use her next time i need her services for sure… thanks again…”
“Saori took wonderful care of our Gus during his week long Thanksgiving stay. He enjoyed his long trips to the dog park and all the cuddles and care he receives throughout the week!”
“This is our second time using Judy and first time with a second dog! This was a trial run for our new dog who is very nervous and shy and by the second day she was showing her belly to Judy! She did great with both of them and provided plenty of updates. We hope Judy will watch our pups as long as she'll have us (:”
“I was so fortunate to have found Anastasiia to watch our dog Axel when we traveled to Europe. We had booked a sitter who cancelled - leaving us with very little time to find another over the holiday season. We had Anastasiia was reasonably priced compared to some of the other sitters available (watch out for price gouging during the holidays). I had booked someone who was less expensive but when we did the meet and great, I saw that they were using Rover to run a kennel: 10 dogs kept in an 8x6 garage - with no one home! I took a chance on Anastasiia because she is new to Rover. When I met her in her home, I could tell right away that Axel would be in good hands! The home is charming and so was Anastasiia's partner :-). During Axel's stay he got to go to the park and play and even got to go on a hike. Anastasiia asked me if it was ok to take him and how he was in the car. The pictures of their adventure made me smile :-). I was sent lots of pictures during Axel's stay - most either playing or lounging lol Axel was in good spirits when we picked him up. I felt comfortable and confident that my family member was being given good care while we were overseas. I highly recommend.”
“Kathryn is probably the best Rover sitter we’ve had (and we’ve used some lovely sitters). Our dogs are anxious when they’re left, and Kathryn really helped them feel at ease - her fenced yard was perfect and they just seemed to trust her. I’d highly recommend booking your pet’s stay with her!”
“This is my second time having my fur baby with Sue. It was a much longer visit this time (a week) amd Sue remained her kind communicative self. Would recommend in a heartbeat. She goes above and beyond. Thank you! 💕”
“Ryan went above and beyond was expected. I got update pics and even a call just letting me know my pup was doing great. Maverick received dinner and breakfast exactly as instructed. He even got to visit the dog park (and yes I was ask before of that would be okay to do). Would highly recommend.”
“Our usual Rover was unavailable and we needed a last minute dog sitter for the day. Monika was available and we’re so happy we met her! She was super responsive, happy to do a meet and greet before we confirmed the booking, and sent us lots of photos of our dog (who doesn’t really like other dogs by the way) playing with her dog Lexi and son! She always let us know how Nate was doing and was good about asking questions for when to feed him, his bathroom schedule, etc. She has a semi fenced in yard and lives on a quiet street convenient to Route 15 if you’re driving that way. Would be happy to have her watch our dog again in the future!”

“Lana came to take care of our cat while we were on vacation and we couldn’t have been happier with her services! She made sure our little guy had a clean litter box every day, refilled his wet food feeder, and even offered treats and some play time. We will absolutely be booking Lana in the future whenever we need to go out of town!”
“Dee is wonderful! We have a very shy cat who doesn't like to interact and she handles the situation perfectly. She's on-time, professional and communicative. No hesitance to recommend!”
About: I have experience cat-sitting, volunteering at animal shelters, and caring for pets of my own for many years. I’ve also undergone shelter-officiated training on cat body language and behavior designed to assist with cat socialization and behavioral training.
About: Our pets are a very special part of our families. They each have their own quirks and personalities, and they all bring so much love and joy to our lives. I will meet your pet’s needs, and spend time with them in the way they like the most. I have been a dog walker and pet care provider for 17 years now, and I still love my job! Each pet that I meet makes me smile. I like to think that I am able to give some of the happiness these animals bring to me, back to them. Over my 17 years of being a pet care provider, I have had experience with dogs of all different breeds, sizes and ages -from puppies to seniors. I am fully insured. I am willing to work with your pup on basic training, or put them in my car, for a short drive to a favorite walking area. If you need me to feed your dog or cat, please let me know. I can also spend time playing or cuddling with your dog or cat. When I am not enjoying the company of pets, I am drawing or painting pet portraits for commissions. I look forward to meeting your special pet. I will give them the activity, affection, and attention that is right for them. I am dependable, professional and most of all, caring. You can count on me to take good care of your pet, and you can feel confident, knowing that your pet is in exceptional hands, when you are not able to take care of them yourself. I have been walking dogs and taking care of pets during the day for 17 years now, and I spend my evenings drawing and painting pets for commissions as a pet portrait artist. It’s all about the animals with me! I would love to come to your home and walk your dog in your neighborhood, or perhaps drive them to a close by favorite walking area. Some dogs have invisible fence collars, and need to be driven off the property, or they live on busy streets, that are not safe streets to walk on. I can drive them to a quiet side street or a park, if you prefer. You can request a feeding, if you would like, and I could do a quick scan of the house for any unexpected accidents, and clean them up for you. I can do drop-in visit (15 minutes), or a full 30 minute walk or play in the yard. More time can be requested, if necessary. For cat care, I can clean the litter boxes, feed your cat/refresh their water, and play or cuddle with them. I can also take a quick scan of the house for messes for them also.
“Anna took really great care of my cat. I can tell she has a genuine interest in the wellbeing of animals. She even sent a photo during her visit which put me at ease. Would definitely use again!”
About: I've spent years caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I treat every pup like family. From energetic walks to calm companionship, I adapt to your dogs needs. I'm responsible, patient, and genuinely love what I do. Your pets safety and happiness always comes first. As a college student who is home for the summer. I have a pretty flexible schedule, I'm available morning, afternoons, and evenings - perfect for regular walks, drop-ins, or overnight care throughout the week. I care for pets in their home by sticking to their routine, give them lots of love, keep things clean, and ensure they feel safe and relaxed.
“Cam is attentive, proactive, and thorough. Our booking occurred during the blizzard, He stayed in constant contact and came to our rescue when we were stranded overseas. Cam is a gem. We will happily book with Cam in the future.”
“Alexandra took excellent care of our two cats while we were away, taking time to get to know them and play with them each visit. We were thrilled they were in such good hands and will definitely ask Alexandra to help us again.”
“Natalia did a great job looking after my cats. They are shy but she did a good job finding them in their hiding spots, and she did a good job communicating with us while we were away.”
“This is our second time booking Alex. She is always responsive, responsible and the kitties love her. She takes time and plays with them and was even willing to help with my little finch. We will definitely book with her again!”
“I am a new Rover user and was nervous about entrusting my 8-month-old puppy to someone I didn't know. But Samantha exceeded expectations in many ways! She clearly loves dogs and was excited to meet my Yogi. She gave him a wonderful walk, made sure he had plenty of water, and even adjusted her schedule to meet our preferred timeline. Yogi was happy as a clam when we got home, and we are thrilled that we now have a reliable sitter to call for future needs.”
“Molly was great with Bella! Communication was on point (quick responses and always confirmed a day before), received cute photos of Bella playing in the backyard, seems like they had the best time! Would absolutely trust Molly again with my dog!”
“Melissa did amazing with our two cats! She’s an expert at handling older and younger cats. She was able to medicate my older cat while being caring and compassionate. She remained in communication with me and gave us peace of mind while being away on vacation. I recommend her services to anyone that truly cares about their fur babies! She’s the best 💞”
“Cassidy did a great job with drop in visits for my older kitty while I was abroad. She was timely, adaptable, and VERY communicative. I was at ease that my sweet senior girl was well off, which made my travels more enjoyable!”
“Nicky was great with our two large dogs. The older one, 10, has always been very suspicious of new people, but Nicky cracked the code! Definitely a true dog lover. We will definitely use her services again when needed.”
“Pam was so great with our two kitties while we were away. She was on time every day and we truly appreciated the extra steps she took like vacuuming and offering to take out the trash. Would definitely book again. Thanks!”

Prices are estimates per day. Pricing may vary based on your search. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was a child. I owned two Miniature Pinschers growing up and I adopted one Australian Shepherd mix that has special needs as an adult. I trained all of my dogs from the time they were puppies until they passed away as seniors. I also volunteered at the Humane Society of Westchester. I've always enjoyed being around animals since I was young and animals tend to feel the same way about me. Animals who are usually timid around strangers are comfortable around me right away and they seem to trust me right away. I feel like connecting with animals (dogs specifically) is a gift that I have. Being a sitter is a great way for me to use that gift in everyday life. I'm able to adapt to the normal routine of the pets that I'm sitting in order to make the process as smooth as possible. I don't have a lot of room in my studio apartment so I'm only able to watch either 1-2 small dogs or one medium sized dog. Large dogs are too big for my apartment. If I'm at a client's home, I'll change my schedule to meet the needs of the pet. I believe all animals are unique and all have different needs in order to thrive in the environment that they're in. I'm willing to meet those needs by building my schedule around the animals that I'm sitting.
“Dew goes above and beyond for my puppy. Checks in regularly when he is in her care and even checks in when he is at home. As a first time user of a dog-sitter, I was anxious about leaving my puppy in someone else’s care. Dew almost immediately alleviated my concerns. I feel like her care has been a major benefit for me and for my puppy’s social development. Will continue to take advantage of Dew’s services for the foreseeable future. Highly recommended!”
“Luke was great with Ayden and Zeus. It was their first time being with another human, so had me a little worried but Luke was very responsive and took great care of them. They both came back happy :).”
About: I have been caring for and grooming dogs and cats since I was 12 years old, and I am comfortable with both dogs and cats. I am always available for pet sitting, I work from home and I am more likely available for the weekdays and weekends to pet sit. I have a big yard that my two dogs love to run around in. My dogs are friendly and can keep your dogs company if you want and if not I can separate the dogs and they won’t have to interact with each otherr, and I have crates if needed.
“Andrea is a terrific find. As a former licensed family day care provider for children, she takes the same attentive care to each dog in her daycare pack. My puppy gets so excited and runs like crazy into her house as soon as we enter the driveway. We go 2-3 times a week now. Andrea Is so flexible in the number of hours and changing schedules our dog can stay, she’s greatly improved my life and given me far more freedom than our dear but demanding dog’s constant need for socializing and play can provide, when I have to sit at my desk for long periods to work, or spend the day in NYC for many hours. We’re so grateful for Andrea’s daily smile, unruffled calm with the animals, and sense of responsibility. The assorted fur kids, with daily alternates, all seem to get along comfortably. This our 3rd CT dog, this time a King Charles Cavalier, would show it if he wasn’t really happy. Thank you Andrea!”
“Lily is down to earth and I felt comfortable leaving my pups with her for the day. Her property is also nice for my pups to roam outside. I received photos and videos periodically throughout the day with updates on how my babies were doing. I will definitely book again!”
“Another great week with monika! She always provides good updates/pictures and is super responsive. Nate has only been there a few times so far but is already excited when we get out of the car at her place when we drop him off. I think he knows where he’s going now!”
“We were visiting from out of town and needed daycare over the holidays. Laurie was available and amazing. Ollie was safe and happy and she sent lots of pictures to reassure us. How lucky we were to find her!”
“John was great and took great care of my 3 month old puppy. Will definitely be using him again in the future. The awesome pictures he took were an added bonus. Highly recommend him.”
About: Our business has been booming with referrals and friends/family requests. Since dogs bring so much joy to life, I am dedicating more time to open bookings to new pets. I am a dog lover for a lifetime. As a kid, I would care for strays. As an adult, I have had a dog in my life for the past 30 years- I have adopted 3 full grown, mature labs from various shelters and they all had a great, long life! My current Lab is our sitting “mascot” and she welcomes all dogs to our homestay center. She was an adoptee from an elderly couple. My young adult son & dog-lover is a great co-host to care for and play with your pet. Pets are like family here and they will be loved, cared for and respected. We will give play, attention, exercise, love and create a setting where your pet feels comfortable and not stressed. We should do a meet and greet with our dogs prior to first boarding. The yard here is fully fenced, but I only let dogs out in the yard with supervision. I will give walks/hikes, as you like. Your dog can sleep and hang-out in whatever area of the house is comfortable to him or her. If they prefer a crate, we can. If they prefer their own room, they can have my lower level finished room. If they like to mix it up with the family they can. We cater to your dog and help to diminish their stress and let them be themselves. If the pup is stressed and needs extra attention at night, they can sleep in the bedroom, ( sometimes on the bed, only if you allow that) . I have cared for multiple senior and special needs dogs, providing medication, and special care routines. We look forward to getting to know your loving pet and offering them a home away from home! Pet Care is a dominant share of our daily lives. Someone is here most of the day, so lots of interaction and attention is provided. If we run out , here or there ( as you would at home) each dog get’s their own space to hang-out. Dogs visiting from different families are only together, when supervised. My Home-Away-Vacay-Stay has a fully fenced yard with plenty of toys. Run of the house and cuddles with our family make your pup feel at home.
“Elaine was so great with Stark and has so many features to her property to ensure the safety of the dogs she cares for! Not to mention, she has animals of her own so Stark had friends to play with!”
“Anner came through for me! If it wasn’t for him I’d have to call out of work. I had a change of schedule which messed up my puppy’s schedule. I downloaded this app with hopes of someone responding back to me quickly and Anner did just that. Everything was so professionally done. Top tier communication. I was able to receive photos and videos during the day. I was so happy. Book Anner you won’t be disappointed”
“Val ( and family ) were absolutely amazing! We needed a last-minute booking for our dog, and she went above and beyond to accommodate us. Throughout the week, she sent lots of photos and videos, keeping us updated and reassured that our pup was happy and well cared for. It was clear she treated our dog like family, and we could tell how much love and attention she gave. We came home to a healthy, happy dog, and we’re so grateful for her exceptional care. Highly recommended, and we will absolutely use her again in the future!”
“Irene has made my experience using Rover so easy and carefree. This is my first time leaving my dog, and she is extremely confident with her handling. I enjoy the pictures and updates she sends me throughout the day too!”
“Kevin is an incredible dog sitter!!! He has the perfect set up and my high-energy pitty got plenty of exercise. She was totally wiped out when I picked her up. He has a few pups of his own who are very well socialized and made my dog’s stay even better. He’s also very experienced with slow intros and the specific needs of your pup. I will 100% be using him as my local dog sitter when I’m in town!”
“Fergus our 1 year old had a wonderful time at Kyle's. He played all day and was very comfortable there. We will definitely book again and build up some overnights.Its a great relief to have found a safe place and a caring dog lover to watch him.”
About: I grew up in a dog-centric household, however I have taken care of my own dogs for the past 19 years. For the last 8 years, I've had the opportunity to foster dogs through different organizations, as well. It has been an extremely rewarding and educational experience with regards to learning about a multitude of different dogs and how best to deal with different dog personalities and what their mannerisms indicate. The foster dogs that I cared for ranged from puppies to senior dogs and included numerous different breeds. I've had dogs that were incredibly easy, as well as ones that were particularly difficult and high maintenance. These experiences have made me open to taking care of all types of dogs; I'm happy to help administer medicine, eye drops, insulin injections, etc. I've experienced it all! My schedule is flexible because I'm currently based from my home. This basically means that I'm available to provide care in whatever capacity needed beginning from late morning until the evening and any day Whenever a dog is my responsibility I make a point of giving them the care and attention that they require. I'm available to walk any pup beginning from late morning into the evening, including multiple times a day. I currently live in a house with 3 acres and a huge back yard with forest surrounding it, so it is not fenced. However, I'm more than happy to walk your dog if there's a fear that they will run into the forest. I'm also open to dog-sitting for anyone going on vacation! Our house is set up to accommodate dogs visiting and staying due to my previous fostering, which is how I came to have my two current dogs. Also, I'm a firm believer in positive reinforcement to teach dogs acceptable behavior and manners, so no punishments that may traumatize or hurt the pup!

“Lana did such an amazing job walking our dog for several weeks while we were away this summer. She is a great communicator and took such fantastic care of our Lagotto. We would strongly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and professional dog walker. Thank you Lana!”

About: I have cared for puppies to seniors. Knowing their needs is very important for their ultimate well being. I have also have hospice care experience. I am currently taking care of pets full time. Consisting of daily walks, hiking, snuggling and lots of love. Whatever their needs are I am here to help. Home is a sacred space The pet parent’s home will be kept exactly how it was when I arrived. I am happy to make the pup feel at home.
“Ivon did a great job with Scout! My dog can be shy but quickly warmed up to Ivon and loved her. Ivon sent videos and pictures so I know my dog was having fun. We will use her walk service again!”
“Alexandra is absolutely lovely!! She has been so patient with my 11 month old puppy, Kinley, who can be quite shy. Kinley has really warmed up to her in such a short period of time and now loves her! Highly recommend!”
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life—I had my own dog for 10 years, and I now volunteer at a local animal shelter. Those experiences have taught me how to be patient, attentive, and tuned into each pet’s unique needs. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, or needs a little extra care as a senior, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home My schedule is very open during the week, which allows me to give pets plenty of time, attention, and consistency in their care. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, or extended stays Monday through Thursday. I do like to keep my weekends a bit more flexible for personal time, but I’m still open to bookings with advance notice. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I’m able to prioritize each pet’s needs throughout the day. I care for pets in their own home where they feel most comfortable and secure. I stick closely to their usual routine—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide. I take time to build trust at their pace, especially with shy or anxious pets, and make sure they feel safe and cared for while you’re away. I’m attentive to details like fresh water, clean feeding areas, and keeping their environment tidy. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is in good hands.
About: I have taken care of Samoyeds my whole life. Many of my own dogs have had litters that I’ve taken care of. I’ve also taken care of my neighbors dogs which range in size from chihuahuas to German shepherds. My main career is mainly remote so I’m able to stay at home and take care of dogs. My own pets are taken out twice a day and fed twice a day. Once in the morning and once at night. In my house we usually cage our dogs until everyone is home so we have enough eyes to watch them. If you need me to stay with your dog the entire time that shouldn’t be a problem.
About: I’ve grown up taking care of animals my whole life, assisting my family with our array of pets. I’m great with bigger dogs who may require more strength to walk. I also have experience with cats, right now my family has a giant Maine Coon. I am a college student on summer break and my schedule is pretty flexible. I can work around you and your pets’ needs. I also am very active and can take your dogs for long walks/runs/hikes if requested! I currently have no pets in my apartment besides my fish tank. I am able to accommodate crate or no crate in my home. I live in an apartment building with multiple grassy areas surrounding and a walking trail. I am able to spend ample time with your pets.
About: I have taken care of friends and family pets over the course of this year some long-term and some short term. Frequent dog park visits and timely feedings. I can accommodate all types of diets, raw kibble, and specialty foods. I currently work full-time however I have a rotating schedule so I can often pet sit and drop in weekdays if needed and weekends. I am off in the mornings so drop and visits are easy for people who work 9 to 5 and just want their dog to have some extra time out or to just check in on the cats. There is an option of having your pet here in my space all to themselves or with my personal pets. I have different options of sleeping accommodations for your pet cage, cot and cushioned. Though I do not have a fenced in yard, I have a dog park in my complex as well as a dog park 4 minutes away by car. I can accommodate all diets, including raw diet.
About: I have had years of experience with other peoples pets, and primarily my own. I have taken care of my own Dogs, cats, snakes, hamsters, horses, and fish over the years. I’ve grown up with puppies, and currently have my own 2 kittens, and also have had elderly dogs, cats, and horses before. I have always adored animals, and have always been an important part in my life so I would love to make more furry friends with your pets:) I currently am enrolled in school at The University of New Hampshire. My schedule is super open this semester since I took summer classes so my work load would be easier. In home care : I would make sure to send client photos if l was boarding their pet at my apartment, and make sure I follow the exact instructions given. When other people watch my pets , there’s always the anxiety of making sure they are treated well, and taken care of. Clients home: if I took care of the clients pets, I would make sure that I followed all the rules given and more. I understand it can be uncomfortable for a stranger to be in your house, so trust and reassurance everything is safe it’s important as a pet and home owner

The foster dogs that I cared for ranged from puppies to senior dogs and included numerous different breeds. I've had dogs that were incredibly easy, as well as ones that were particularly difficult and high maintenance. These experiences have made me open to taking care of all types of dogs; I'm happy to help administer medicine, eye drops, insulin injections, etc. I've experienced it all! My schedule is flexible because I'm currently based from my home. This basically means that I'm available to provide care in whatever capacity needed beginning from late morning until the evening and any day Whenever a dog is my responsibility I make a point of giving them the care and attention that they require. I'm available to walk any pup beginning from late morning into the evening, including multiple times a day. I currently live in a house with 3 acres and a huge back yard with forest surrounding it, so it is not fenced. However, I'm more than happy to walk your dog if there's a fear that they will run into the forest. I'm also open to dog-sitting for anyone going on vacation! Our house is set up to accommodate dogs visiting and staying due to my previous fostering, which is how I came to have my two current dogs. Also, I'm a firm believer in positive reinforcement to teach dogs acceptable behavior and manners, so no punishments that may traumatize or hurt the pup!
“Today was Lanie’s first time walking our pups. After our initial meet and greet yesterday, I felt very comfortable and confident that she provides thoughtful care of the pets she cares for. She accommodated a 30 minute shift in plans, and spent a good amount of time with the boys. They were both very calm and content when I got home. Thank you!”
“It was our first time having Hanaya help us out and she was upbeat and positive from the beginning. She cared for my two CKCS’s like they were her own. She shows a true love for dogs and her experience with them shows. I highly recommend her!”

“Anner is very professional. He is flexible with time changes to pick up and drop off. He also takes great care of my pup when he is there. Even lightly grooming him smelling fresh and trimmed nails. Highly recommend to anyone looking for dog assistance.”
“Great experience from beginning to end. It was our first time leaving Gigi with a sitter. Dew kept us updated and sent photos, which was a great comfort to us. Will definitely use her again.”
“So happy with the care and attention that Farva provided, particularly since my older lab has mobility issues. We enjoyed the daily pics and videos. Highly recommended.”

“Kya had the best time with Tina and Troy! Tina gave her the best care and sent pictures and videos of her having the best stay! Thank you so much for making sure Kya had a great stay and for making us feel so comfortable! 10/10 Recommend!”
“Saori took wonderful care of our Gus during his week long Thanksgiving stay. He enjoyed his long trips to the dog park and all the cuddles and care he receives throughout the week!”
“This is our second time using Judy and first time with a second dog! This was a trial run for our new dog who is very nervous and shy and by the second day she was showing her belly to Judy! She did great with both of them and provided plenty of updates. We hope Judy will watch our pups as long as she'll have us (:”
“I was so fortunate to have found Anastasiia to watch our dog Axel when we traveled to Europe. We had booked a sitter who cancelled - leaving us with very little time to find another over the holiday season. We had Anastasiia was reasonably priced compared to some of the other sitters available (watch out for price gouging during the holidays). I had booked someone who was less expensive but when we did the meet and great, I saw that they were using Rover to run a kennel: 10 dogs kept in an 8x6 garage - with no one home! I took a chance on Anastasiia because she is new to Rover. When I met her in her home, I could tell right away that Axel would be in good hands! The home is charming and so was Anastasiia's partner :-). During Axel's stay he got to go to the park and play and even got to go on a hike. Anastasiia asked me if it was ok to take him and how he was in the car. The pictures of their adventure made me smile :-). I was sent lots of pictures during Axel's stay - most either playing or lounging lol Axel was in good spirits when we picked him up. I felt comfortable and confident that my family member was being given good care while we were overseas. I highly recommend.”
“Kathryn is probably the best Rover sitter we’ve had (and we’ve used some lovely sitters). Our dogs are anxious when they’re left, and Kathryn really helped them feel at ease - her fenced yard was perfect and they just seemed to trust her. I’d highly recommend booking your pet’s stay with her!”
“This is my second time having my fur baby with Sue. It was a much longer visit this time (a week) amd Sue remained her kind communicative self. Would recommend in a heartbeat. She goes above and beyond. Thank you! 💕”
“Ryan went above and beyond was expected. I got update pics and even a call just letting me know my pup was doing great. Maverick received dinner and breakfast exactly as instructed. He even got to visit the dog park (and yes I was ask before of that would be okay to do). Would highly recommend.”
“Rachael was helpful, communicative, trustworthy and responsive - she made the process a breeze and took great care of our dog. Everyday I was sent photos of her running, playing, exploring and having fun. Pepper even came back with sharpened training — I will be booking again and again!”
“Nicole and her family took wonderful care of our girls, Bailey and Ruby. Highly recommend her. She provided dailey pictures which showed the care our girls received. Will use her services whenever we go out of town.”
“Nandita did such an amazing job watching our Goldendoodle for nearly 2.5 weeks!! We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter while we were away, she was so great at providing us updates and pictures. We never once were worried about his wellbeing while being gone for so long. He got plenty of exercise and play, and we can’t wait to use her again when we go away next, knowing he’s in amazing hands!”
“Fabulous experience, my 2 Bernese Mountain Dogs LOVED< LOVED< LOVED Kyle! They didn't really want to leave, either! Kyle is the quintessential laid back dog lover....will definitely hire him again!”
“Clinton and his son Lincoln were fantastic. Lots of pictures and videos along with walks and play sessions. Our pup might have had more fun on vacation than we did. Highly recommend!”
“Elvia is the best! Our dachshund loves her and so do we. Super reliable and takes such good care of our pup. We’ve used Elvia for both daytime and overnights and would highly recommend!”
“Nicole and her family were great with our dog Marty. We met once before leaving him for 4 days and immediately he seemed at ease, and I should note our dog Marty is pretty nervous around new people and new dogs. Nicole sent regular updates and each one showed a very happy pooch. He seemed very at ease with the family dog Dakota and bonded with their son. We will definitely ask Nicole and her family to dog-sit again and highly recommend her to anyone.”
“Kevin was amazing with our dog. It was his first time there and sometimes we get him back a little anxious. The environment and care that Kevin provided left our pup happy and calm.”
