“Emily was absolutely amazing with my little boy! She watched him for 2 nights and kept me updated constantly through Rover with pictures and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear he was well cared for, happy, and getting plenty of love and attention. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. 5/5 — would absolutely recommend Emily! 🐶❤️”
“My trip was very last minute. Had to fly out that day and Grace & Wu took my fur baby cat in. They updated me daily with pictures and texts! My kitty is a very shy one but he slowly adjusted. He was in good hands and I was at ease! Will definitely book again ! 💜”
“Denis was absolutely wonderful with my energetic orange boy cat! He was great at communicating every day and noting anything in terms of behavior which helped make me feel calm during the early days. Not entirely sure who’s vacation was better 🐈🤍 Would highly recommend him and will definitely be rebooking in the future!”
“I recently boarded my 5 month puppy with Juliana. This was my first time boarding my puppy so was very nervous but Juliana was very kind, professional and caring. She sent daily photo/text updates and Coco seemed to have a lot of fun with her and her family! I felt very comfortable about leaving Coco with her. Will definitely rebook in the future! 🐶😊”
“Margarita and Cristian were fantastic! They took great care of my dog and were attentive throughout the entire stay. They kept me updated, which gave me complete confidence that my dog was in good hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and caring sitters.”
“This was the second time my Noodles spent time with John. He came home super calm, happy and tired which is so unusual for this energetic puppy. Thank you so much!”
“This was the first time being away from our dog and Nicole did a great job at making him and my family feel at ease! She regularly kept me updated with messages and pictures and took very good care of him. Will definitely use her again!”
“I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with Shirley for the weekend. He has separation anxiety and she was accommodating towards his needs to ensure he had a stress free stay with her. I appreciate how she was flexible with my drop off and pick up times. Would definitely hire her again!”
“Anthony & Sofiya were WONDERFUL with our rescue pup!!! They were both so sweet and caring with her, and she was immediately comfortable in their house. Anthony/Sofiya checked in multiple times with updates and photos— and their pug Dolce is the cutest cuddle bug who was super chill with our dog. Will 1000% book with them again.”
“Sayarlin was soo accommodating while watching my dog Dream! Even when I had to extend the pick up dates she was still willing to help out as best as she could. She even took Dream to the park to play which i'm sure she enjoyed. I will definitely use her to watch Dream in the future.”
About: What sets me apart is the combination of hands-on experience, professional pet care skills, and a home environment designed around each dog’s individual needs. I have about 5 years of experience caring for dogs, including dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I pay close attention to body language, comfort level, and interactions so I can recognize when a dog is relaxed, overwhelmed, or needs more personal space. Pet care is my full-time focus, and I’m both pet CPR certified and a certified groomer. This allows me to provide attentive daily care while also helping with brushing, bathing, coat care, and general cleanliness when requested. My home has a private backyard of approximately 900 square feet for supervised outdoor play and potty breaks, along with additional rooms that allow me to separate dogs based on size, temperament, energy level, or individual comfort needs. I understand that every dog has a different routine, so I do my best to accommodate feeding schedules, sleeping preferences, sensitivities, and other special instructions from parents. I also send frequent photo and video updates throughout each stay. My goal is not only to make every dog feel safe, comfortable, and cared for, but also to give parents real peace of mind while they are away. Caring for dogs is a major part of my daily life and my full-time focus. Because I have a flexible schedule, I’m able to provide consistent supervision, regular potty breaks, outdoor play, feeding, rest time, and plenty of individual attention throughout the day. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each dog’s personality and adjusting their routine so they can feel safe, comfortable, and at home during their stay. I’m pet CPR certified and also a certified groomer, so I’m comfortable providing basic coat care, brushing, bathing, and grooming services when requested. For longer boarding stays, I’m happy to include a complimentary basic bath when appropriate. For shorter stays, bathing or grooming services can be added for an additional fee. My priority is always to provide attentive, reliable, and personalized care for every dog staying with me. I live in a clean and well-kept home with a private backyard of approximately 900 square feet, giving dogs plenty of space for supervised outdoor play, potty breaks, and fresh air throughout the day. I also have additional rooms available, which allows me to separate dogs by size, energy level, or comfort needs when necessary. This helps each dog have a safe and quiet place to rest, settle in, and decompress without feeling overwhelmed. I have a 3-year-old Border Collie who is very sweet, gentle, and full of positive energy. He has done very well with other dogs and enjoys spending time and playing with them. I carefully supervise all interactions and introduce dogs gradually, while paying close attention to their body language, personality, and comfort level. I never force dogs to interact if they need more time or personal space. Throughout the day, I provide regular potty breaks, supervised backyard time, playtime, and plenty of opportunities to relax comfortably indoors. I also try to follow each dog’s normal feeding, sleeping, and daily routine as closely as possible. Sleeping arrangements can be flexible based on the owner’s preference and the dog’s needs. For dogs who are more sensitive or feel more secure near people, I can arrange for them to sleep in the same room with me. After outdoor time, I clean the dogs’ paws to help keep them comfortable and maintain a clean living environment. I also pay attention to brushing and overall cleanliness throughout their stay. My goal is to provide a safe, structured, and welcoming home where every dog receives individualized care and owners can feel confident while they are away.
“Liming took such wonderful care of our cats, Tiwdew and Shiny, while we were away on a trip. She was communicative throughout, sending updates and photos that put our minds at ease every step of the way. Both cats were happy, healthy, and clearly well looked after when we got home -you could tell they’d been given real attention and care, not just the basics. Liming is reliable, trustworthy and genuinely loves animals. We’d book with her again and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring pet sitter!”
“Adriana was super sweet with my Emma. She was great with communication and sent the BEST photos of my fur baby to keep me updated. I’ll definitely be rebooking her again the next time I am on holiday.”
“Kristin is absolutely fantastic. She was quick with her reply, extremely communicative throughout my dog’s stay and most importantly my dog came back very happy. I would highly recommend Kristin and plan on using her again.”
“We are so happy to have found Denys and her husband so close to our home. They took great care of our two high energy dogs and kept us informed about their day with photos and videos. Denys met us for a meet and greet and was happy to let us book a trial day to make sure our dogs were a good fit for her family. We never go anywhere without our dogs, so this was a big deal for us and the dogs. But Denys reassured us that they were happy and safe. I will be at ease with any future visits with our dogs Louie and Pepper.”
“Absolutely was one of the best experience for my big fur ball. Xue made me feel so comfortable with boarding my dog. The pictures update are so cute to see him make friends. He was definitely comfortable with her as soon he met her. I felt very reassure that my dog baby is in good hands! Will be rebooking!”
“Dan was absolutely amazing with our dog Karley. From the moment we left, she kept us consistently updated with messages, photos, and check-ins, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. It’s not easy trusting someone with your pet, but Dan made it effortless. Her communication was top-notch, and it was clear Karley was not only well cared for, but genuinely comfortable and happy. We had zero worries the entire time, and that says everything. I would highly recommend Dan to anyone looking for someone reliable, attentive, and truly caring. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Nari&Ryan are perfect! Latte had a great stay with them with many loves! They shared lots of photos and videos. Will definitely come back and recommend to anyone!”
“Anny is an absolute gem. She watched our Maltese, Lila, and she is extremely loving and caring. She doesn’t even have her own animals, yet her home is set up like a five-star resort for any pet who walks through her door. Gorgeous beds, little houses, toys everywhere, treats ready to go. If a dog or cat could design their dream home, it would look exactly like Anny’s. We’ve used many pet sitters over the years, but Anny is in a different league entirely. Lila actually hesitated to come home, which tells you everything you need to know. If you want your pet loved, spoiled, and treated like family, Anny is the one.”
“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!”

About: I have years of hands-on experience caring for cats and currently have 4 of my own. Over time, I’ve learned how important it is to understand each cat’s individual personality, routine and comfort level. I’m especially patient with shy or skittish cats and give them the time and space they need to feel comfortable and build trust with me. I also regularly help care for stray cats in my neighborhood, which has given me experience with cats that may be nervous or cautious around people. I’m comfortable caring for different personalities and will make sure your cat is fed, comfortable, safe and given the right amount of attention while you’re away.
“Huixian C took very good care of our cats while we were away. Our boys were very happy!! She was very thorough with her job and was extremely reliable. We felt very at ease with the care our cats received while we were away. We hope to use her again on our next trip !”
“Hsiao was a great drop-in sitter for Bongo. She was super responsive and provided great videos and pictures while we were away. She made sure he was well-taken care of and he seemed very comfortable with her. Would love to book again in the future!”
“Garrett took great care of our cats! Both kittens enjoyed snuggling and playing with him. They were very well-cared for during the couple of days when we weren’t around.”
“Lawrence was great, we couldn’t have asked for more! He took good care of our cat, had excellent communication and was very responsible. We enjoyed getting updates and photos while we were away. Thanks again Lawrence!”

About: I’m an experienced pet parent and a proud cat mom of 6 cats. Caring for multiple cats has helped me develop a strong understanding of different personalities, behaviors, and individual needs. Beyond caring for my own cats, I have provided in-home cat care for friends, including caring for two cats while they were away. I have also gained professional pet-sitting experience through another pet care platform, where I regularly care for an 8-year-old cat for a repeat client who has trusted me as her go-to sitter. My experience includes feeding, litter box maintenance, playtime, grooming, medication support when needed, and providing companionship for cats with different temperaments. I understand that every cat has their own routine and personality, and I always take the time to make them feel safe and comfortable in their own home. When caring for your pets, I treat them like my own. I will provide thoughtful updates, photos, and attentive care so you can feel confident and relaxed while you’re away.
About: I have over 7 years of active, hands-on experience raising, training, and caring for dogs of all sizes, including large and powerful breeds like Rottweilers. Since 2018, I have been fully responsible for managing daily exercise routines, structured neighborhood walks, and feeding schedules.Beyond dogs, I am highly comfortable caring for cats, and other household animals. I am very attentive to animal body language, making sure your pets stay safe, comfortable, and appropriately active while you are away. Rain or snow, I stick strictly to your pet's schedule. Pet care fits smoothly into my weekly routine because I am an early bird who loves getting out of the house early to stay active. I prefer being highly proactive about my availability, meaning I only accept bookings on days when I am completely free and can dedicate my full attention to your pet. Whether you need structured early morning exercise routines, mid-day check-ins, or reliable evening walks, I communicate clearly and stick strictly to your pet's established schedule. When caring for pets in a client's home, safety is my absolute priority. I am highly attentive to animal body language and know how to maintain structural control when walking larger, powerful dogs on a leash. I strictly respect your household environment, adhere to your exact safety rules, and keep outdoor routines secure by avoiding any unpredictable interactions with strange dogs or crowded spaces.
“Antoinette is fantastic!! Mister Peach (my cat) and I highly recommend her. She is reliable, responsible, trustworthy, and caring... I've hired her several times to take care of Peach while I'm away and will continue to do so. 5 stars!”
“Sally is very reliable, professional and communicative. This is the second time we booked with her for a last-minute trip and she has had amazing rapport with my cat (who even showed his belly around her which says a lot for a shy kitty!).”
“Angelica was wonderful. Very responsive to messages and made me less nervous with the care of my 2 cats. I will definitely recommend and rebook her services again.”
About: I have grown up around dogs as well as owned my own dogs for many years. I am well versed in walking, feeding, bathing, and simple grooming techniques. Currently, I work at a vet clinic where we have patients of all shapes and sizes, and I also spent two years being a puppy sitter for Seeing Eye puppies in training. Due to those two years, I have experience with puppies as young as 7 weeks old, and can confidently assist with basic obedience training where needed. I also have experience with larger breeds like Golden Retrievers, Labradors, and German Shepherds. My schedule changes weekly, however, I am almost always available for at least 4 days of the week! I also have extracurriculars but those are flexible and can be worked around. I always make sure to double check the fit of harnesses/collars to ensure the safety of pets on a walk. I am capable of putting an animal back in a crate if necessary as well.
About: As a cat owner, I understand how sensitive cats can be to changes in routine and environment. I focus on creating a calm, low-stress experience and take time to earn each cat’s trust. I am attentive to feeding routines, litter box cleanliness, playtime preferences, and subtle behavior changes. My goal is to make cats feel safe and relaxed while their owners are away. Pet care fits well into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule and can plan drop-in visits in advance to ensure consistency and reliability. I prefer scheduled visits with reasonable notice so I can provide attentive and unhurried care for each cat. I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and respect when caring for cats in a client’s home. I carefully follow instructions regarding feeding, routines, and home access. I move calmly and quietly in the home, ensure doors and windows are secure, and keep the environment clean and low-stress. I treat each home and pet with care and responsibility.
“Jessica is awesome. She's very responsible and diligent. We've never had a vacation with a drop-in sitter before and she's relieved all of my concerns. She answered all my questions during the meet and greet, followed instructions perfectly, and sent me daily photos. My cat was happy and healthy when we returned. Highly recommended!! A+++”
“Mrs.Grace was so caring and attentive to the cats. She sent pictures and videos every day. Gigi is. Or use to new people and he was able to warm up to her. I will definitely be booking with Grace again.”
“Melanie was the absolute best! She took amazing care of Penelope while I was away and sent me pics and updates. It made me so comfortable to know she was in such good hands. Melanie is sweet, friendly and loves animals and it shows. She is extremely loving and caring and I would recommend her 1000 % and give her 1000 stars!!!!”

“Emily was absolutely amazing! She is incredibly professional, flexible, and easy to communicate with. From the start, she made everything smooth and stress-free, always keeping me updated and making sure my dog was well taken care of. You can really tell she cares and takes her work seriously. I felt completely confident leaving my dog with her, and I could see how happy and comfortable he was the entire time. I highly recommend Emily to anyone looking for reliable, trustworthy, and top-quality care. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“I truly recommend Dan. This is my first time using Rover and naturally wanting the best for my dog, I wanted to make sure she’d be good, and Dan made sure of that. She always checked in with me, provided me updates of Daisy through pictures and videos, and always responds when she can.”
“It was my first time leaving blue in doggy daycare And he looks very happy. Looks like he’s been taken care of and he had a good time over there from the pictures that I see. I had a little hesitation, but I can see that there was no reason for me to hesitate. I will definitely keep using her for all my dog sitting needs.”
“Athena was amazing and so reliable. I booked super last minute and she was extremely accommodating, fast responding, and kept me updated with pictures throughout Ozzy’s stay which gave me so much peace of mind. She even fed him homemade food and treats and truly cared for him like her own. I was completely at ease during my trip knowing Ozzy was in such good hands. I will 10000% be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring 🤍”
“Denys was absolutely exceptional. She took Luna in on a last minute request and was amazing. Luna came home happy and ready for bed each day. Denys did an amazing job, and I will be using her again for sure!”
“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!”
“I couldn't recommend Janet more. She is incredibly communicative, professional, friendly, and positive. I received fast responses to my messages and pictures and videos of my 9 week old puppy. I could tell when he got home that he had the most fulfilling time of his young life. Dante took to her and he is on the shy side for a puppy. I knew when I met her that this was right for Dante not just for the short term, but in the long term as he grows up. I look forward to working with her and I am so happy I found the right person to help Dante grow up into the best dog he can be. :)”
About: I have over a decade of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages and temperaments. As a current multi-pet owner with a mini poodle and a rescue cat, I am an expert at managing a happy, harmonious home and catering to different personality types. What sets my care apart is the activity level and location. I live just 20 feet from one park and a 5-minute walk from another, making outdoor time effortless. My schedule is built around your pet's needs: when I'm home, they get 3-4 walks a day, they are guaranteed three solid walks with plenty of park time. My home is a true 'pet paradise'—fully stocked with a massive variety of dog and cat toys to suit any play style, from high-energy fetch to interactive puzzle games. I also treat your pets like my own by exclusively serving ZeroWater filtered water for premium hydration. I am highly observant, deeply responsible, and committed to making sure every pet feels safe, active, and loved. My weekly routine is highly structured to guarantee your pet gets plenty of regular exercise and potty breaks. Since I work from home every day, I am able to take dogs out for four walks a day (morning, lunch break, evening, and right before bed). I am always home for overnight boarding, and my weekends are fully open for even more playtime and park visits! Because I am a pet owner myself with a dog and a cat, my home is fully set up for animal safety. My environment is supervised, and I am particularly careful about keeping curious pets away from indoor plants or other hazards. I provide a calm, structured space where your pet can relax while I work from my home office. I also believe in total transparency and will send you frequent photo and video updates so you can see your pet enjoying their time, whether we're playing fetch at the park or lounging at home. To ensure every guest feels at home, I provide multiple dog beds in various sizes throughout the apartment. This allows each dog to have their own dedicated space to retreat to and relax, which is especially helpful for pups who might be a little timid at first!
About: What sets me apart is the combination of hands-on experience, professional pet care skills, and a home environment designed around each dog’s individual needs. I have about 5 years of experience caring for dogs, including dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I pay close attention to body language, comfort level, and interactions so I can recognize when a dog is relaxed, overwhelmed, or needs more personal space. Pet care is my full-time focus, and I’m both pet CPR certified and a certified groomer. This allows me to provide attentive daily care while also helping with brushing, bathing, coat care, and general cleanliness when requested. My home has a private backyard of approximately 900 square feet for supervised outdoor play and potty breaks, along with additional rooms that allow me to separate dogs based on size, temperament, energy level, or individual comfort needs. I understand that every dog has a different routine, so I do my best to accommodate feeding schedules, sleeping preferences, sensitivities, and other special instructions from parents. I also send frequent photo and video updates throughout each stay.

“Juliana watched our precious pup Winston for the day while we went to the US open (she is located right by the stadiums and had phenomenal reviews). She did not disappoint! She was very attentive to Winston and patient with him as he can be quite shy at first. He had a very good experience and I’m glad we left him in good hands.”
“Hands down the best dog sitter/boarder. She is so gentle and kind with our precious 7 year old yorkie. Bonus is the gated back yard and my pup loves it. She is the best and chewy will be back soon. Thank you”
“Again so grateful for Yakie and Kathy! They took great care of my Milo today and he came back home so happy and exhausted of so much playing😄. Thank you so much guys!!”
“I am so glad I find sue on Rover. She is great with my dog. She will keep update on the condition of my dog and send me pictures. On top of that, she is very flexible with scheduling. I had issue of not able to pick up my dog on time and she is very accommodating. Will book her again. Thanks sue!”
“Angelica did a wonderful job taking care of Coco for the day while we celebrated the life of our cousin who had passed from COVID. Coco took to her right away after a very quick drop off. She sent many updates and was very accommodating to our needs on this special day. I would strongly recommend Angelica ahold you need her services for your pet. Thank you Angelica.”
About: Every dog has their own personality, and I believe the best care starts with understanding that. Some dogs want to play all day, some need patience and time to trust you, and others are happiest just having someone calmly by their side. I always take the time to learn what makes each pet feel safe and comfortable. My experience with animals started helping rescue dogs in South America, including dogs that were scared, shy, or came from difficult situations. It taught me patience and how important it is to let an animal trust you at their own pace. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities, as well as cats. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, cuddly, independent, or a little nervous with new people, I’ll care for them based on what they need and make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. Pet care has always been a big part of my daily routine. I care for my own pets every day, so I’m very used to planning my schedule around feeding times, walks, playtime and making sure they get the attention they need. I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to the pets in my care. I understand how important consistency is, so I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, including their usual walk times, feeding schedule and any specific instructions you have. I want them to feel as comfortable as possible even when you’re away. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet and your home in someone else’s care. I take that responsibility seriously. I always follow the routine and instructions you give me because I want your pet to feel as comfortable and normal as possible while you’re away. I pay close attention to feeding times, walks, medications if needed, playtime and the little things that are specific to your pet. I’m also respectful of your home and will always leave it the way I found it. I’m happy to send pictures and updates so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is safe and being well cared for. I care for every pet with the same patience and attention I would want someone to give my own.
“Ana was incredibly sweet with our Boston Terrier puppy who experienced his first time away from us with her. She sent lots of pictures and gave frequent updates. Highly recommended!”
About: I had being around animals my entire life, and I consider pets as a part of the family. For me an animal is just like a person, most of them are like kids if you go out, bring water, snacks and toys for them. If your in the house they want attention and all the love that you can give them. Always have clean clean and fresh water, give them the food on time, play with them and always take care of them. Don’t leave them for long periods of time by themselves, and make sure they are healthy. Take them out at least two times at day and if it’s to cold outside put them the coat and the boots if it is necessary.
About: I’ve cared for pets since childhood and currently work in a veterinary office with 3 years of hands-on experience. I provide reliable care for cats, dogs, and birds. Feel free to inquire! Pet care is a consistent part of my daily and weekly routine. I work at a veterinary office Monday through Saturday, which allows me to bring professional experience and a strong understanding of animal health into my care routine. I manage boarding, visits, and pet care around my work schedule to ensure each pet receives proper attention. Dog walking and drop-in visits are typically scheduled before and after office hours. Boarding pick-ups and drop-offs are flexible within reason on those days, and Sunday pick-up or drop-off is available upon inquiry. I plan my schedule carefully to ensure pets in my care receive reliable, attentive, and consistent care every day. I can also set up Vet visits within my office upon inquiry! In my home, I provide a safe, clean, and structured boarding environment tailored to each pet’s needs. For dogs, I have 3–4 spacious enclosures measuring approximately 5ft x 5ft with tall height, allowing plenty of room to move comfortably, rest, and feel secure. Dogs are let out regularly for exercise, potty breaks, and supervised interaction, depending on their temperament and owner preferences. For cats, I have separate, smaller enclosures in a variety of sizes to ensure they feel calm and stress-free. Cats are kept in a quiet area away from dogs, with clean litter boxes, fresh water, and enrichment as needed. I follow each pet owner’s care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise routines, and any special needs. Cleanliness, safety, and comfort are always a priority, and I monitor pets throughout the day to ensure they are happy and healthy. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine and environment. I follow all provided care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, litter box maintenance, medications, and any special needs. I ensure the home is kept tidy, pets are safe and comfortable, and I provide regular updates and photos so owners have peace of mind. Whether in my home or yours, cleanliness, safety, and attentive care are always my top priorities, and I monitor pets closely to ensure they are happy and healthy.

Some dogs want to play all day, some need patience and time to trust you, and others are happiest just having someone calmly by their side. I always take the time to learn what makes each pet feel safe and comfortable. My experience with animals started helping rescue dogs in South America, including dogs that were scared, shy, or came from difficult situations. It taught me patience and how important it is to let an animal trust you at their own pace. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities, as well as cats. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, cuddly, independent, or a little nervous with new people, I’ll care for them based on what they need and make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. Pet care has always been a big part of my daily routine. I care for my own pets every day, so I’m very used to planning my schedule around feeding times, walks, playtime and making sure they get the attention they need. I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to the pets in my care. I understand how important consistency is, so I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, including their usual walk times, feeding schedule and any specific instructions you have. I want them to feel as comfortable as possible even when you’re away. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet and your home in someone else’s care. I take that responsibility seriously. I always follow the routine and instructions you give me because I want your pet to feel as comfortable and normal as possible while you’re away. I pay close attention to feeding times, walks, medications if needed, playtime and the little things that are specific to your pet. I’m also respectful of your home and will always leave it the way I found it. I’m happy to send pictures and updates so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is safe and being well cared for. I care for every pet with the same patience and attention I would want someone to give my own.
“I had such a great experience with Angela while I was away! Communication was always easy and consistent, and I felt very comfortable knowing Max was in good hands. What made me feel even better was seeing how quickly Max got comfortable with her. Every time he saw her, he would wag his tail and get so excited, which gave me so much peace of mind because I could tell he was happy and felt safe with her. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to walk their dog. I would absolutely use her again anytime I need someone to take care of Max. Thank you so much for taking such good care of him! ❤️”
“I was taking care of my son’s, high energy, 1 year 5 month old lab, Maverick and was nervous about letting him walk with a stranger. But Thankfully came across Rover and Ari, who was absolutely fantastic! Maverick usually requires a lot of patience, but Ari knew how to handle him. I loved receiving the daily photo updates and walk summaries, and of course Maverick always came home happy, calm, and ready for a nap. Highly recommend, Ari - will definitely seek for Ari in the future.”
“Our girl can be a nervous pup towards new people. She warmed up to Erica so quickly. It made leaving a little easier. Erica is kind and listens to all of our requests. We would love to continue to work with her and have her back.”
About: I've cared for both dogs and cats my whole life-- I've never lived without a pet! I also have experience as a volunteer caretaker through my local animal shelter, and a deep passion for animal welfare and happiness. I work part-time and am a part-time student, so please check my calendar for availability. I have class from 4-9pm Tuesday & Wednesday and my work schedule is typically the day shift on Monday and Thursday. Again, if there are any deviances, I will mark them on the calendar! I'm happy to let your pet set the pace-- if they're a cuddle bug, I'll give them snuggles, and if they need some time to warm up, I'll sit quietly while they get used to me. If your puppy feels the need for speed, I'll take him on a sprightly jog, but if your senior prefers to take the scenic route, we can stop and sniff every tree. I'll listen to your instructions and preferences and theirs.
About: Hi! My name is Neil D. Wallace and I love dogs. Dogs make me happy. My favorite dogs are Blue Staffies and Pugs. I have most experience walking Doodles, Pitbulls, Huskies and Chihuahas. I also communicate everything, and promise an open book attitude with owners. All hours until i book my next show. This is just a side hustle when demand is low in the acting world, which will change, with my contribution. No matter what dog I take care of, there is always one thing in common. The owner is always right. Even if I think something might work better for the pups, the owner knows best; open communication is key.
“Janet is an outstanding dog walker! She bonded immediately with our two English Setters, and they happily anticipate her arrival when it is time for a walk to our nearby park. Janet sends us photos, videos, and updates throughout the walk. She keeps up a brisk pace but is sensitive enough to allow the girls to sniff when they wish, without them sneaking any inappropriate "snacks" that might be lingering on the path. Janet has an upbeat personality, and is always on time yet very flexible. We can’t recommend her highly enough!”

“Hemei has been great with my dog Kiara! She walks her a 3-4 times a week and is very responsive, professional, and communicative. She is very flexible with her schedule which is amazing since my week to week work schedule sometime varies. Hemei made the extra trek for a meet and greet before starting so that I could rest assured that my dog would be comfortable with her. She is reliable and a true dog lover and you know she will look after your fur baby as her own. Highly recommend her!”
“Cynthia is fantastic! She's a responsible, trustworthy, and genuinely kind person. Most importantly, all of my pets love her! She loves animals and cares for my dog and cats like they were her own. Highly recommended!”

“Deshauna walked and gave meds for our Yorkie, Champy. Deshauna accommodated our request for a meet-and-greet prior to walking him for the first time, which was important to explain the medication. During the walk, she arrived on time and was attentive to Champy's needs, and gave medication. Sent pictures and updates. I highly recommend!”
About: I am from Colombia, and most of the time I lived on farms, I have always had pets and I also took care of my family's pets when they were on trips, I am responsible and very affectionate with them. Furthermore, being with pets relieves me of stress since they are angels. What differentiates me from others is that I respect them and give my best for their well-being. Until the end of August I have every day free to take care of your pets. From September to December I have Monday to Thursday mornings busy, since I am a nursing student but I am free from 3 pm. On saturdays I can take care of your dogs after 1 pm. Fridays, and Sundays are also free! My house is big, it has a good backyard area where the pets can be, they can run, we also have a pool but they will always be safe, because I will be there. The house is closed so there is no danger of them escaping. How do I take care of pets? I pamper them, I feed them, I play with them, I take them for walks and I do everything so that they have a pleasant day.
“Jessica has been caring for my dog Niko for several years. From the first meeting I was impressed with how she interacted with Niko and how quickly she put him at ease. He loves her and when I have to leave him knowing Jessica is there to care for him gives me incredible peace of mind! She is someone who really loves and understands animals and it shows in how happy and relaxed Niko is when I return home. You couldn’t ask for a better caretaker for your pet!”
“Very gentle and it’s obvious she cares for animals just how slow she walk with him, knowing he’s an older dog have a 14-year-old Shih Tzu. Don’t walk very fast and she just took her time that means a lot to me not to rush him around just to get the work over with. Thank you again Rachel. See you shortly.”
About: My husband and I are animal lovers, but I would be the main watch keeper since I am home full time :) We have been around puppies our whole life. I call all doggies, puppies (regardless if they're young and old) I grew up with Cocker Spaniels and my husband with a Mini Pinscher. We currently do not have any dogs at home Potty time for your pup is whenever the pup needs, we have a fenced backyard where they can go at any minute of the day, in addition to the daily walks around the neighborhood. I would love to have the opportunity to watch these little ones. I have used Rover.com in the past ,and had a great experience. Looking to give the same love that she received from her sitter to another puppy. I will keep you posted throughout the day with pictures and videos so you have a peace of mind that your pup is in good care and happy. I am more than happy to meet with you and your pooch before you confirm my sitter services to make sure your pup feels comfortable and vice versa.

“This was the first time being away from our dog and Nicole did a great job at making him and my family feel at ease! She regularly kept me updated with messages and pictures and took very good care of him. Will definitely use her again!”
“I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with Shirley for the weekend. He has separation anxiety and she was accommodating towards his needs to ensure he had a stress free stay with her. I appreciate how she was flexible with my drop off and pick up times. Would definitely hire her again!”
“Sayarlin was soo accommodating while watching my dog Dream! Even when I had to extend the pick up dates she was still willing to help out as best as she could. She even took Dream to the park to play which i'm sure she enjoyed. I will definitely use her to watch Dream in the future.”
“We are so happy to have found Denys and her husband so close to our home. They took great care of our two high energy dogs and kept us informed about their day with photos and videos. Denys met us for a meet and greet and was happy to let us book a trial day to make sure our dogs were a good fit for her family. We never go anywhere without our dogs, so this was a big deal for us and the dogs. But Denys reassured us that they were happy and safe. I will be at ease with any future visits with our dogs Louie and Pepper.”
“Absolutely was one of the best experience for my big fur ball. Xue made me feel so comfortable with boarding my dog. The pictures update are so cute to see him make friends. He was definitely comfortable with her as soon he met her. I felt very reassure that my dog baby is in good hands! Will be rebooking!”
“Nari&Ryan are perfect! Latte had a great stay with them with many loves! They shared lots of photos and videos. Will definitely come back and recommend to anyone!”

“Naomi took realy good care of Chicho and Kylie. They are healthy and seem relax. She was their taxi too. Did the pick up and drop off as schedule. She will definitely be our pet sitter next time.”
“Euitae was the best dog sitter I’ve ever had. Euitae was responsive and so so attentive and caring for my senior guy, Jack, taking Jack for lots of walks and adventures in the park, and even a dog café where Jack got to make new friends. I’m so incredibly grateful for Euitae and 1000% recommend him as a sitter! I can’t wait to call Euitae again, Jack had an AMAZING time.”
“Agnes was so great for our pup. He usually has separation and anxiety issues but was calm and happy when we picked him up. She let us know how he was doing throughout his stay and sent over pictures. Will definitely be booking with her again. Thanks for a great Rover experience!”
“Lal, Matt & Hank were great! My doggy boys stayed with them for a week while we were travelling out of state and they looked like they were having a nice little doggy vacation themselves with their new found friends. Lal would keep us updated with how our boys were doing by also posting pictures and videos along with the texts and e-mails. Lal really took the time to get to know the boys well specially during their meet and greet. Plus the fact that their LabraDoodle, Hank got along very well with the boys made me really feel at ease. I would definitely pick them again for our upcoming travels. So happy to know that my doggy boys were in good hands while we were away. Highly recommended.”
“I can’t believe I’m writing this review so late! I was traveling for a lot of August and I was able to come across Iona’s boarding services when a last minute trip change occurred. I met with her and her husband the day prior to drop off for a temperament test , which my social boy did well on. The next day I dropped him off and I really really appreciated the pictures posted and sent to me and the quick communication!! That was one of my biggest things, I really really appreciated that. So much so that I am currently about to book another boarding service haha: if your baby feels comfortable around other dogs and enjoys play, this will be like summer camp haha Thank you for your flexibility with airline issues and again just the reassurance and communication. Hopefully Ollie will be back soon !!”
About: Hi! I have over 9 years of experience with dog walking and boarding, and I truly love what I do. I focus on making sure every pup feels safe, comfortable, and happy while in my care—whether it’s during a walk or an overnight stay. I treat every pet like family because I believe they deserve the best care and attention. I always keep pet parents updated with messages, photos, and honest communication so you can feel at ease while you’re away. I’m experienced with maintaining training routines, handling high-energy dogs, and providing gentle care for senior pets. I understand that every dog has their own personality, and I take the time to get to know what makes them feel their best. Your pet’s happiness, safety, and well-being will always be my top priority! I do have a part-time job so I will be working during the mornings. I will always make sure your babies are taken out for good walk and eat before I leave. During that time my family (husband/mom) are home and will be able to help on bathroom schedules and playtime. Your babies will never be alone and my mother is a licensed dog trainer and caretaker in rover as well. I respect all homes and follow rules that have been set by you as the pet parent. I give two photos; one in beginning and another in the end with a video . Please keep in mind that services ( dog walking/ drop in-visit) that extend beyond the initial booked time may be subject to an additional charge. I do provide a 5-minute courtesy grace period if your dog needs a little extra time to potty, hasn’t pooped yet, or simply needs a few extra minutes before heading back inside. ❤️
“Kiersten and Casey were absolutely incredible! We got photos every day of our trip and constant updates. Shep got plenty of walks and he even met other dogs in their building, completely put our mind at ease on our trip. Can’t recommend them enough!”
“Best dog sitter period. We have tried a few and we found the prefect one. Our Roxy was so happy we were afraid she didn’t want to come home with us…lol. Eric sent daily updates with Roxy’s activities. Can highly recommend Eric.”
“Nicolas and his family are amazing! We are definitely rebooking with them. When we picked up our dogs, our dogs usually will howl and bark after not seeing us for a week but they were so content and peaceful with Nicolas, it was like picking up your kid from grandmas and they don’t want to leave lol highly recommend! Especially if you want to feel like your dogs are in good hands and with dog people 🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷”
“Joey was great! His entire family are so warm and friendly and set my anxiety about dog sitting my large, spoiled, tripod, Cersei, at ease. She loved them and literally ran in the house without me which never happens with strangers. Joey sent tons of pictures and did an excellent job catering to my fur babies needs. 10 out of 10 highly recommend! ☺️”
“My dog absolutely loves going to Ryan & Jefra ‘s! The moment we pull up, his tail starts wagging like crazy because he knows he’s about to have the best time. They treat him like part of their family — he gets tons of love, attention, and playtime. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing he’s in such caring hands. I couldn’t ask for a better sitter! Highly recommend!”
