“My dog Nicolo has stayed with Karine and Ryan for a few short stays which always went well. Recently, he stayed for a week and it was such a great experience for him and for me. Nicolo socialized with the other small dogs. Karine and Ryan are such gentle people with great knowledge about dogs. He got his meds, lots of attention and affection. In addition to being kept safe and having his physical needs met, I feel he really benefits mentally from staying there and I am relaxed and not consumed with worry. Karine always kept me updated with texts and pictures and let me know of any issues. I hope to always leave Nicolo with Karine and Ryan when the need arises.”
“Elizaveta did a fantastic job watching our Boston Terrier for almost 3 weeks. Our little guy is often afraid of new people and being away from our family, but with her he was super comfortable right away - I think her dog helped with the process. Definitely recommend and would use again.”
“Our twelve year old chipoo had a wonderful stay with Rafaelina over the holidays. I could tell he was given lots of exercise, attention and love. We received several update pics and notes each day as well, which was very comforting. Highly recommended!”
“Kevin and his family were great dog sitters! They had our dog in their house for the weekend and she seemed to love it there. She had a chair she sat in, they took her on great walks and overall followed her routine. We would definitely use them again!”
“Luz and Michelle took excellent care of Sadie. In addition to frequent photos, Sadie returned to us calm and happy with absolutely no stress responses from our weekend away. We are grateful for the level of care and will seek out Luz and Michelle again!”
“Blanca is great with dogs and she stays with them during the whole stay. She is also comfortable giving medication if needed. Very flexible and outgoing, positive personality!”
“Emma took great care of my dog Buddy! She kept us updating by sending pictures and messages to check in! She was great at responding and looks like Buddy had a great time. Would definitely book again!”
“As a first-time user of Rover's boarding feature, I was admittedly nervous to be dropping off my beagle Stanley for a four night stay with Doreen. With that being said, Doreen's positive reviews from past Rover users were comforting and certainly held true with our experience. When dropping off Stanley, Doreen made a note of Stan's eating amounts and times. She had another pup there who became a friend to Stanley during his stay. My favorite part of the stay was getting daily photo updates on how Stanley was doing while we were away. We will definitely use Doreen again to watch our pup!”
“Diana is a lovely person and did great with our 2 dogs. This was our first time bringing them to a sitter and she made us feel at ease. She is very communicative and flexible, and sent us daily updates. I highly recommend her and we will definitely be booking again on our next trip!”
“This was our first time using Rover, so we booked a one-night stay as a trial before our upcoming vacation. Everything went really well! When we first dropped off our golden retriever Lily, she was very excited and anxious (which is normal for her), and Robert immediately took her for a walk to help her settle in. He then sent us an update saying she settled in quickly, which we really appreciated. When we picked Lily up, she seemed happy and well cared for. We just booked Robert for our upcoming vacation! Thank you Robert!”
“Consuelo and family take such great care - we booked for 3 different times in the week. and yes, our puppy keeps asking, "When are we going back?" Highly recommend!!!”
“Yuri took amazing care of Jolie while she was sitting for her. She sent me pictures daily and updates about her well being and any concerns she had. I will definitely be booking with her again! Thank you so much Yuri!”
“First time boarding with Randi and it was an incredibly smooth experience. Randi is extremely flexible and was a life saver for when we were away on a multi city driving trip. We were watching the weather in case we needed to abandon our plans and come back home mid trip. Randi was extremely flexible and accommodating and I am so grateful for that. Our dog is a picky eater and is also on some tricky meds…and Randi kept in touch with regular updates. She persevered with attempts to get her to eat both food and meds, until our dog did finally start to eat! Our dog came home happy and healthy! We will definitely board with Randi again!”
“Saiad was a trustworthy and reliable sitter during Max's stay. Max can be an insecure dog, but Saiad made sure he felt comfortable and well cared for throughout his visit. He followed all of our instructions, accommodated a meet-and-greet beforehand, and made sure Max had a great time playing fetch and enjoying his stay. Would love to book with him again!”
“Karen is a wonderful dog sitter, she gave our baby so much love and attention. She followed her schedule and it looked like she was right at home! She communicated throughout the days and took so many excellent pictures. Roxy misses her already!!”
“Fantastic dog sitter! Kiara responds quickly to any messages and we loved getting pictures of our dog while away. Our dog looked happy when we returned--we've already booked Kiara for a couple more weekends!”
“Brittany is AMAZING! She took the time to work with our nervous guy while he stayed with her over the weekend. We can’t thank her enough and Monroe can’t wait to come back!”

“Alyssa took such good care of our cat! I appreciated her detailed descriptions of each drop in visit as well as the cutest photos of our boy. Thank you again and will definitely love to rebook in the future!”

“Grace has been a tremendous help with taking care of Bianca. She is always punctual, reliable, and great at communicating. We feel very fortunate to have found someone as kind, caring, and trustworthy as Grace. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their pet.”
“Great experience! Saiad was attentive, responsive, and took excellent care of Luna. We appreciated the updates and felt confident she was in good hands. Highly recommend them!”
“Leigh did such a great job helping us with our cat while we were away. We are so happy to find someone reliable and trustworthy to help our diabetic cat when we are out of town.”
About: I adore cats and take any chance I can to hang out with them. My sister has three (my nieces and nephew) whom I love to watch frequently when she travels for work. Additionally, I recently made pet sitting a summer job. I love and care for these babies like they are my own. I can trick even the greatest sleuth into taking medicine, play, clean litter boxes, or just be quiet for your baby!
“Shawn is super thoughtful!!! He took the time to come visit the cats ahead of sitting to make sure we all get comfortable. He also takes the time to check in with you when unsure about the cats needs or behaviors, that was hugely appreciated! I will definitely reach out and o Shawn next time.”
“Andrea provided the best care to my two kitties! She was amazing in giving updates, following instructions and immediately made friends with my girls, who don't warm up to strangers quickly!”
“Elena was a great pet sitter, I absolutely loved her! She took care of everything my cat needed and that we agreed. She took the time to get to know him and the attention was all focused on him. It was the best sitter I had so far. Definitely booking again! Thanks Elena, it is so great to have peace of mind even leaving the little one.”
“We hired Euree to care for our two cats over the holiday season, and she did a fantastic job. Not only did she handle the essentials like food and litter, but she also went above and beyond by cleaning up after our cats when they had some anxiety-related stomach issues. Most importantly, our cats truly enjoyed her company. The daily updates she provided gave us total peace of mind, allowing us to relax and enjoy our trip. Thank you, Euree!”
“Carol was exceptional. She was very responsive and did everything we asked - she took SUCH good care of our cat while we were away. I couldn't leave a higher review. Thank you!”
About: Hi! I’m Kelly, a lifelong animal lover, professional treat-giver, and former dog mom to my sweet girl, Princess, for 13.5 amazing years. From daily walks to medication routines, I’ve handled it all with love and care. Whether your fur baby needs a snuggle buddy, a midday walk, or someone to keep an eye on them while you’re away, I’ve got you covered! I live in a pet-friendly community with plenty of green space and have my own vehicle, so I’m reliable and flexible when it comes to pick-ups, drop-offs, or emergency needs. I know how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pet, and I treat every animal like my own. Let’s connect! I’d love to meet your pup and become their new favorite human! Pet care fits into my routine pretty seamlessly. Honestly, hanging out with animals is one of the best parts of my week! I have a flexible schedule, my own car, and I live in a pet-friendly community with lots of green space, so walks and visits are easy to work into my day. Whether it’s a quick drop-in, a walk around the block, or a weekend stay, I make the time because I truly love being around animals. After 13.5 years with my own dog, it just feels natural to keep giving that kind of love and care to other pets. I live in a pet-friendly community with lots of green space, so walks and visits are easy to work into my day. I'm also more than happy to pet sit in your own home if that's what you prefer.
“Andrew took great care of my 2 cats while I was away for a week ...very responsible ...reliable and gave my cats the attention and care that I give...will definitely use him again!...thanks Andrew!!”
About: I won’t say I’m the best in anything . But I do know that I am pretty great with cats. I know cats love to spend time alone with themselves and they always choose one person to go to . And I had a cat rescue for a while, she was 10 years old and I learned how to take good care of her since she also had surgery done, and that just made me love cats because I grew attached to her .
About: I have a lot of free time. If your pet needs more playtime, they can get it easily. Please bring all necessities for care. Let me know if your cat has a routine or any particular preferences.

“Our dog Matcha seemed to love her stay with Tatiana! She had plenty of other dogs to spend time with and not worry about how she wasn't at home. If you have a furry friend that doesn't like being home alone for extended hours, I'd recommend Tatiana.”
“Diane did an absolutely perfect job taking care of our Brittany cokie. Super sweet and caring and her little dog was a great companion to ours. They had a fantastic time together, and she loved every minute of it. We went back the next day, and our dog was wagging her tail and excited to go in. Thank you so much Diane for your great work! Michael.”
“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.”
“Simone & Sean K were terrific! Kind, attentive to our dog's sensitivities and took great care of her. She had a great day with them. We highly recommend them and will definitely be booking future dates.”
“Had a great doggy daycare visit with Laura this week! Her attention to detail and genuine love of dogs is what has us coming back again. I loved her desire to really get to know my dog and make accommodation for Lola's little quirks and upside-down scheduling. Thanks Laura (and Chris too) for giving us a new safe haven for Lola!!”
“Catherine was fantastic with Achilles! He had a great day and came home happy and relaxed. You can tell she really cares about the dogs she watches. I would definitely book again!”
About: Ive been a professional dog walker for 7 years in my neighborhood. Everywhere I go they ask where are the dogs?? Ive had many satisfied clients. I have slots for more dogs daily. Small dogs are my preference since I have in a small area for them to play in. Overnights are fine too. I have a main play room in my space for smaller dogs. Large dogs may need an overnight pen to rest in overnight for dogs over 30 pounds.
“Another great stay with Rafealina. It is so great to know I have such a caring person to leave my little guy with. Rafealina is very professional and communicative during the stay.”
“Consuelo, her husband, 2 sons and fur baby provided wonderful day care for our puppy. She couldn't stop talking about how much fun she had with them and how she can't wait to go back.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs for over 17 years. Besides raising my own dogs, I’ve also cared for friends’ dogs for stays ranging from one week to two months. My Goldendoodle loves making new dog friends, and many of our guests have become his best buddies. I work from home most of the week, so I have plenty of time to care for dogs throughout the day. They get regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and lots of attention, and are rarely left alone. I have fenced yard where my dog loves to play fetch. I usually let my dog out around 8am to play until 9am. All the dogs are welcome to join to play together!
“Omar is AMAZING!! Walter felt at ease from the first moment they met. He walked right in as if he has known Omar all his life. He looked forward to seeing him every morning. Omar kept me informed throughout the day which I truly love and appreciate. Cannot say enough great things about Omar. 100% recommend!”
About: I am a doting dog-mom to an anxious, rescue shih-tzu mix, and I’ve had dogs my whole life! Whether your dog is big or small, great on a leash or not, I am happy to spend time with them and attend to their individual needs! I am currently between jobs and I have a car, so I can come to your home with flexibility and ease! I am available most days after 10am! I am happy to walk your dog, spend quality time with them in the home, or play with them in the yard! I can also feed them and give medication or treats as needed!
“Amy was so welcoming to our energetic dog, Banjo. We appreciated being able to leave him at her house for the day. He seemed to have a great time playing with the other dogs in her fenced in yard. We hope to use her again when we're in the area!”

“Tara is super communicative and easy to work with. We love that she has a lot of experience working with animals, including in veterinary settings. She is gentle and patient with our dog Sansa, and overall handles her very well.”
“Alyssa was very accommodating (and understanding when our dog refused to walk!). She very communicative and willing to problem solve, asking questions on what would best suit us. Much appreciated!”
“Kerry is a gem!! My senior dog needs lots of TLC and patience (he's lost most of his vision and hearing, has trouble with stairs and occasionally gets confused), so I was nervous about bringing in someone to walk him. Kerry immediately put my fears to rest -- asked all the right questions, was wonderful with my dog, and communicated well and often during the visit. I won't hesitate to have him visit again and am relieved I found him.”

“Leigh was great. I was able to be there at the start of the walk, and Leigh asked great questions about what commands my dog knew and what my walk preferences were. She was patient with my dog (who is a puppy) and since they stayed on my property at my request, I was able to watch Leigh play with my puppy outside. Leigh did a great job, and I have asked her to walk my dog on a more regular basis as a result.”
“Carol is highly communicative, on time, and very good with my cranky older dog. She followed our instructions to a T, which we appreciate! Our dog can’t wait to walk with her again!”
“Tatiana was so great with Oliver! This was their first walk together and we could tell that he loved her! She made sure he got plenty of exercise while also giving him some breaks due to the heat. Highly recommend Tatiana!”
“Emmily was great with my senior German Shepherd dog who is pretty much losing his sight. She is a great communicator and took really nice pictures. I definitely recommend her.”
“Daniela was very responsive and flexible to tend to our pups for daily walks with very short notice. Our three dogs immediately took to her and seemed to enjoy her company. Would definitely hire Daniela again!”

About: I’ve taken care of animals most of my life and take pride in making sure that any animal I encounter is well cared for. I have experience with cats, dogs of all sizes including large dogs (150+ lbs). I currently work full time but from home half the week. I am able to do drop in visits and walks mid-day as well as before and after work hours.

I will only ever follow instructions the owners have provided as it relates to their pets and home.

We will definitely ask Nicole and her family to dog-sit again and highly recommend her to anyone.”

Highly recommend!!”

She and her human and four legged family members welcomed our pup with open arms and helped put our mind at ease that our pup was in great hands. Would definitely recommend and we'd definitely book with her again!!”
