“This was our second time having our pet stay with them, and once again, we could tell how happy and excited our pet was the whole time! 🐶❤️ Even though we were away traveling and couldn’t be together, they sent us lots of pictures and updates, which made us feel like we were right there with our pet. We’re always so grateful for the loving care and attention they give. Thank you so much, as always! 🥰”

“Couldn't have been more happier with my first Rover experience! Ann had sent me photos of my dog while I was away. Will definitely use the service again in the future!”
“We had such a great experience with Michaelangelo! We had a last-minute need for someone to watch our almost 2-year-old Boxer, Walter, who is VERY energetic and has some separation anxiety. Michaelangelo said yes without hesitation, which we really appreciated. He has two Pomeranians of his own and a great fenced-in yard where Walter could run around and get all of his energy out. Michaelangelo sent us pictures and updates every day, which really helped us feel comfortable knowing Walter was doing well. He was also very quick to respond anytime I had a question. Walter had a great time and came home happy! We’re so happy we found Michaelangelo and would definitely recommend him to our family and friends. We will absolutely use him again! ❤️”

“I was very with Chialing care for my baby Lola. She kept us updated. Send this pictures videos. Lola actually walked with no leash and they are run away so I’m happy with that. Her care her time and to keep up letting us know how everything was going was excellent. I would definitely definitely use her again to babysit my baby dog Lola. Thank you so much for your care and your love and your attention.”
“I live in South Florida but often travel with my dog, a 17 pound cavapoo named Goldie. I was in the area with family for two weeks and had to find a place for Goldie to stay for 4 days. I found Cathy and read the reviews and decided to book it. I couldn't be happier! I got pictures of Goldie playing with the other dogs and her daughter even let her sleep in bed with her! Like so many dog lovers I'm always nervous leaving my baby with a stranger but after meeting Cathy for 5 minutes she wasn't a stranger. I couldn't recommend Cathy more!”
“Rokiea took very good care of Nala and kept us well updated throughout her stay. Nala loved spending time in the yard and seemed to be calm in their mellow neighborhood. I would definitely contact Rokiea again for future stays.”

Raymond was communicative, sending regular updates with photos and videos. We will definitely re-book with him in the future.”

“So grateful for Doreen! It was the first time we ever left RJ with anyone other than family, and she took such great care of him! Not only that, but she put only up with my daily check-ins and sent me pictures so I knew that he was well and happy! Will absolutely use her again next time we travel! Highly recommend!!”

“I had such a wonderful experience with my first-time dog sitter Kiara! 🐾❤️ I immediately knew she was the one I wanted to care for my twin boys, and she did an amazing job taking care of them for 5 days. I would usually text her to check in, and she was always quick to respond with updates and photos of the boys. It was so reassuring to know they were in good hands. The twins seemed to really like her and gradually became comfortable with her, which made me so happy! I would absolutely rebook with her again, if she’ll have us back! 😊 Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of my fur babies. I truly appreciate you, and I’m sending a little tip as a token of my appreciation. Highly recommend! ❤️🐶”

“Corrine is as meticulous and great with my cats as always. I love that they just follow her around and they trust her and that’s the most important thing! Thank you Corrine for caring for Sam and Stella!”
“Danae is incredibly reliable and is wonderful with my cat. This time she went out of her way to help me with a household task (emptying my dehumidifier which was on due to water in my basement) and even came back on her own time to make sure everything was OK. I recommend her highly.”
“Alina was fantastic. I'm so happy I found her. She stepped in to take care of 2 cats 2 times a day for over 2 weeks on pretty short notice. Communication wasn't easy since I'm overseas in a different time zone but it worked. I loved getting her pics and notes everyday, seeing how well she cared for Tara and Kora. She obviously loves cats and I was thrilled to see how comfortable and happy they were with her. She went above and beyond for me and them. I highly recommend Alina and won't hesitate to book her again.”
“Ben was fantastic! He took such great care of our dog Skye over a long weekend, and even went above and beyond to check on our cats too. We came home to happy, well-cared-for pets and total peace of mind. Highly recommend — we’ll definitely be booking Ben again!”
“Kathryn was eager to meet my boys prior to our trip. This puts everyone at ease. It’s something I look for when choosing a new pet care provider. Kathryn followed all my instructions and was communicative all during our trip. My boys were happy and content when we got home.”
About: I have two kitty kats, Ginger and Marble, who I have raised since they were kittens (they are 8 now). I’m a cat lover, and can play with cats all day. I’m very careful with different types of cats, because one of mine is very outgoing and the other is very shy, so I know how to treat each kind.
“I recently had the pleasure of having Caleigh take care of my two Bengal cats for 9 days. She was incredibly punctual and maintained excellent communication throughout the entire time, providing regular updates and photos, which gave me great peace of mind. My cats were well taken care of, and I came home to a clean and tidy house. I will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future!”
“Tatiana was wonderful with my cats and would definitely get her to sit them again. She's very diligent, thorough, and reliable. She goes beyond what is expected of her. Always sent very good pictures, videos, and summary of her time spent with my kitties.”
“We had to find a new sitter right before travelling. Christy was fantastic with our kitties -- a pair of shy young cats who were not used to us being away. Christy was patient and loving with our little ones, attentive to every detail, and figured out how to handle their very different personalities. Her communication throughout was excellent, and I appreciated that so much.”
About: Pet owners have relied on my sincerity to their furry friends whenever they had to travel. They knew that I would go above and beyond with their precious pets and were very happy with what I did! I’m a freelance filmmaker who can adjust his schedule for pets. I have projects that I can shuffle based on what I have planned to do. With an empathetic approach I care for animals. I look out for their safety and nourishment and give them love and care. I genuinely am an animal lover so it comes easy.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Tappan
About: What sets us apart is how much we genuinely love dogs. We are dog parents ourselves, so we understand how much trust it takes — and how worrying it can feel — to leave your dog in someone else’s care. For us, dog sitting is more than just feeding and walking. We love spending time with them, playing with them, and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. Because we know how much owners miss and worry about their dogs, we always try to send photo updates in the morning and evening so you can see how your pup is doing and feel at ease. We have hands-on experience caring for different breeds, including Samoyeds, Weimaraners, Shetland Sheepdogs, and Golden Retrievers. Since we have friendly and social dogs of our own, we carefully supervise all interactions and focus on creating a safe and positive environment for every dog. We follow each dog’s routine closely and give them the attention, care, and love they deserve. When dogs are in my care, I keep a close eye on them and make sure they are not left alone. I give them plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and rest based on their individual needs. My husband and I both truly love dogs, and our own dogs are also very social and enjoy having other dogs around. Caring for dogs is the main reason I became a Rover sitter, and we treat every dog with genuine care and attention, just as we would want someone to care for our own dogs. I carefully follow each dog’s routine, including feeding schedules, walks, and rest time. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important safety and trust are, and I also know how much pet parents can worry while they are away. That’s why I make sure to share regular updates on how their dog is doing throughout the stay. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for like a member of our family.
“Andrea was great with Mochi and we appreciated her last minute availability for a same day booking. We got updates throughout his stay and she was easily reachable. Mochi came back to us both happy and healthy.”
“Jolly sitter, Ms. Lee is an high- level expert to take care of dog as a dog mom. Already jolly miss her. I'm so jealous for her. Even she made me relived to send pictures & videos. Next occasions for Jolly, I will choose her again! Thanks lee & Rover. You are my saviour!”
“Our dog always has the best time with Aeli and her dogs! She sends so many pictures and was able to watch her on Thanksgiving which was so helpful. Ruby can’t wait to go back!”
About: If you are new to Rover use the discount code https://www.rover.com/sit/rhi31973 I’m a mom of two, and I have two Maltese of my own, so I know how much our pets mean to us. I genuinely love dogs and enjoy spending time with them, whether that’s going for walks, playing, or just giving them lots of attention and cuddles. I’ll care for your dog like they’re part of my own family, and I’ll make sure you get plenty of updates and photos so you can relax while you’re away. I work from home full-time and have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely run, play, and enjoy the outdoors. I love spending time outside with them, whether we’re playing in the yard or taking a relaxing stroll around the neighborhood. Because I work from home, I also offer flexible drop-in visits and dog walks before work, during my lunch break, or after my workday. Whether your pup needs a potty break, some exercise, playtime, or a little extra love while you’re away, I’m happy to help! I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely play, and I can crate your dog if needed. Since I work from home full-time, your dog will never be left alone for long and will receive lots of attention and care throughout the day. I also offer drop-in visits and dog walks before work, during my lunch break, and after work to fit your schedule.
“Catherine was fantastic! She was always quick to respond whenever I asked for an update, which made the whole experience stress free. We’ll definitely be booking her again!”
“My wife and I were very thankful with Chialing as she took our baby Taco on a very short notice and took care of him wonderfully. She kept us posted of his activity and send us pictures through out the day. I highly recommend her services.”
“It was Zuni’s first daycare time with Robert. She came back happy and relaxed (and seems like she made new friends). He sent photos regularly. It was great first day! Highly recommend Robert.”
“Diana was great and so patient with my dog. My dog was very nervous and didn't want to go with her but she was so kind and loving, she went with her. She spent the whole day with her and kept me updated throughout the day. I would highly recommend her. In fact, my dog is going back two more days this week to Diana.”
“This was our first time putting our Choco in day care. We were extremely nervous given he is a new dog and we were unsure about his behavior around other dogs. However, Michelangelo was extremely professional and introduced his dogs to Choco, they had such a wonderful time together and put my mind at ease knowing he was in good hands!”
“Soni was excellent with our small dog. She made him feel right at home! She was very professional, communicated everything we needed and worked with our schedule. Quimby is looking forward to next time.”
“The best! She does a great job and our dogs had such a wonderful time. Their excitement was our confirmation. She’s great and has a very sweet and kind persona. We will absolutely book her again! Thank you Jocelyn.”
About: I’ve had dogs all my life in my family. My experience is in medium sized breeds (French bulldogs, English bulldogs, and boxers) but can watch smaller dogs as well. I’m very attentive, organized and can provide very good throughout the day when I work from home. I’ve had personal pets outside dogs as well and have a lot of experience going to Westwood vet for any emergencies. Comfort and care are my priorities. Pet care fits well into my current schedule. I’m remote every weekday and usually have large pockets or time to devote to care as I’m usually ahead of work. For day care I can provide my personal bedroom for rest on my bed and my living room where I work. Comfort on the couch overlooking a busy and happening road through a large bay window. Long walks throughout the neighborhood which is very safe.
“Omar was absolutely wonderful with my dog! He was so sweet, patient, and incredibly flexible, which I really appreciated. My dog can be a little selective about who she warms up to, so I loved that Omar made a point to meet her beforehand and took the time to approach her in a way that made her feel comfortable and safe. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing she was with someone who understood her personality and respected her boundaries. I’ll definitely be using Omar again and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a thoughtful and reliable sitter!”
“So happy I found Evelyn for weekly day care! They've been soo accommodating and flexible for me. Excellent communicators and always send pics of my Aussie looking so at home. Highly recommend!”
“Its never easy to leave a pet with a stranger. I saw all her reviews and rebooks, so it was a very easy decision. I went ahead and left my little guy with Tammy, and I couldn't be happier. He was happy when I left him and happy when I came back, so I know he had a great time. Thank you so much Tammy!!!”
“Tracy is on top of his game. Communication and care for our pup was thoughtful and clearly executed. Bear is a covid pup and anxious in new environments, but she quickly warmed up to Tracy. Bear looks forward to her next visit!”
“Hope is a saint!!! She was kind enough to give my dogs a chance for doggy day care at her home. She was gracious enough to get to know them to make sure all parties were comfortable. I really appreciate her approach and attentiveness with myself any my pups. She really put my soul at ease with her communication and photos that made me smile. If I could I would have a repeat stay for my dogs but of course she was booked and busy. You will not have to worry at all.”

About: I have over 12 years of experience raising and caring for dogs, including taking care of puppies from the time they were born. I understand the needs of dogs at every stage of life, from newborn puppies to adult dogs, and I provide calm, attentive, and loving care. Your dog will be treated like family in a safe and comfortable home environment. I work from home, so I’m home with the dogs throughout the day and able to give them lots of attention, care, and supervision.

While I’m away at school (Babson College in Wellesley), I miss my cats and would love to take care of your pets. I often take care of my cousins’ dogs, and my girlfriend’s dogs as well. I schedule my life around the needs of your pets. My classes are from Monday - Thursday in the afternoon, so I can walk pets in the morning or evening every day. Walking is one of my favorite pastimes so I can spend a lot of time outdoors with your pets if they like that. I feed my cats a variety of cat foods and real natural foods, and will care for yours however you prefer. Also, I refill the water for pets often so they have fresh water, and my cats like to drink straight from the sink. Also, I am very tidy, and will make sure your house stays very clean.
“Alina really helped me in a pinch, visiting from out of town but needing dog walks while here. She was communicative, responsive, punctual and, best of all, she clearly loves dogs & walking! My little guy was always happy to see her and walk with her.”
“Casey was great! She was right on time for the walk with my puppy Brandy, took her around my neighborhood and even played with her a bit inside before putting her back in the crate.”
“I can’t recommend Helene enough! She is incredibly reliable, caring, and truly loves animals. My chunky Staffy Luna loved her the moment she met her and didn't even want to come back to me lol. She gets so excited every time she arrives, and I always feel at ease knowing Luna is in great hands. She even drives her to a trail near my house, ensuring plenty of exercise, playtime, and even sending me updates and photos. If you're looking for a responsible and loving dog walker, Helene is the best and is very accomadating!”
About: I’ve always loved dogs, and started walking them about 6 years ago. Now I’ve mostly worked with senior pets, usually medium sized dogs. I’m always eager to learn more about any animal in my care, and will stay in touch with daily updates. I’m almost always available, and I have plenty of time to give your pet individualized care and attention. If you need me, I’m there for your pet! I prefer to schedule a meeting to meet you and your pet before sitting for them. That way I’m familiar to them, and I can hear directly from you about any special needs, medications, habits, and things to look out for.

Not only that, but she put only up with my daily check-ins and sent me pictures so I knew that he was well and happy! Will absolutely use her again next time we travel! Highly recommend!!”

“Monica always give tons of love to my dog that she still miss the time with her. I have been knowing her over 2 years whenever I need to travel out for business.”
“Robert was excellent with our high-energy dog. He helped us at short notice, provided consistent feedback with pictures and the dogs in his care were well-supervised. Highly recommend!”
“Rene always takes great care of Cory. She noticed that he was itchy and has some skin irritation so asked if he could have some Benadryl, and always sends pics and videos of him playing and having a great time.”
“Special thanks to Ken & Irene for giving us piece of mind and taking care of our dog, Twix, when we were on vacay. Twix was in good company and he was well taken care of. We especially enjoyed the texts and pics. We would definitely recommend Ken & Irene.”
“WOW. This is my first time with Brittany. Brittany is amazing. Brittany devoted so much time to Drew. Although Brittany has a fenced in yard, she took our dog on two walks each day. They went to the park. They had movie night together. Brittany is a rare find. When I picked my dog up, you could see how much HE enjoyed staying with Brittany—his tail was wagging, he was smiling (yes, my dog smiles) and he was licking Brittany affectionately as we were saying goodbye. I’ve had a number of other dog sitters, but Brittany just goes the extra mile. Again, she’s incredible and puts all our other sitters to shame. We are definitely spoiled and will use Brittany again anytime we need a sitter.”
“Lauren was awesome and patient with our lovable giant GSD. She was so patient and listen to all of the details concerning his care. She was also very observant, and gave us good advice on further care. We highly recommend her to anyone.”
“Christina and her husband, Nick, were fantastic with our Stella girl. We hired them to watch her during our wedding and also bring Stella over to the church so she could be included in portraits. They were so accommodating and good to her and us, and even provided regular updates and photos to let us know how Stella was doing. We were a little nervous about everything because Stella doesn't warm easily or quickly to strangers. But Christina and Nick did so great with her and Stella seemed very well taken care of. We already have friends asking for their info and would 100% use them again in the future.”
“Great with dogs. Very nice and took great care of my dog. Sent photos everyday giving updates on his well-being. Made sure he was fed, walked, and socialized with other dogs. Would definitely hire again.”
“Pachara and Steven were awesome for our boxer! Pachara sent so many updates and was very communicative. Steven’s experience in the emergency veterinary world is very reassuring! We would absolutely book with them again!”
“Cheyenne took good care of our dog while we were away for the weekend. She was reliable, responsive, and everything went smoothly. We appreciated knowing our dog was in good hands while we were away. Thank you, Cheyenne!”
