“This was Phoebe’s second stay with Kevin. He took great care of her, and I can tell she’s always happy to see him. Kevin was careful to keep to Phoebe’s schedule, which I appreciate!”
“Great host. Has an outdoor fenced in area, very easy to communicate with, no issues handling medications or other specific needs - all in all a great dog sitter. Thank you so much.”
“Jessica and her husband were clearly so patient and understanding about sitting for a senior dog. Salto came back happy and excited! They sent regular photos and updates. I would absolutely have Salto stay with them again if we are in the area.”
“Nina and Augustine cared for our beloved pup as if she was their own. She’s usually very sensitive and high maintenance so we were anxious to leave her, but within hours were receiving photos of her happily curled up on Nina’s lap! Also very accommodating of our schedule, and were kindly able to adjust to a last minute request to shift dates with no issue. So great!”
“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%”
“Sara and her home were the perfect fit for our anxious dog, Mazie. Sara is very knowledgeable about dogs, their behaviors, and how to handle them. She successfully gave Mazie medication 3 times a day and prepared special meals for her. We received photos via text while we were away showing how happy and acclimated Mazie was there. We have already booked another stay with Sara. Thank you Sara!!!”
“Diana is friendly, caring, responsible and she is a great dog sitter. She sent photos and videos everyday and went above and beyond to take care of my shiba inu. In addition, her dog Wendy was a wonderdul playmate for my shiba. She provided a safe, clean and fun environment for the care of my dog.”
“Elizaveta was wonderful with our dog! She is warm, genuinely loves dogs, and was very flexible with scheduling. We especially appreciated the daily photos and videos she sent. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter.”
“Our dog Daisy had such a blast at Grace‘s house! She got to run around in the big backyard with other dogs and play and she came home tired, which was so nice! Definitely would bring Daisy back”
“We were worried that our Laima would have a hard time with separation anxiety, (first time away from us in the 2 yrs since we rescued her) but Rene and her pups made her feel right at home. The pictures she posted spoke volume on how well Laima enjoyed her stay! We hope to use Rene again soon!”
“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!”
“Brittany (and Mom!) is absolutely amazing! I was extremely nervous about leaving my pup with someone new. Marley is a rescue and usually quite skittish around new people / dogs so She tries to find a way to run off when she’s scared. Brittany’s home is very secure and I felt so at ease. Marley was treated as one of their own, got tons of TLC and made new friends while I was away. Thank you so much 😊”
“What a great experience. I love getting updates, and being reassured that my pup is having a good time and also getting what he needs. Valerie is conscientious, for example, she walked my dog before I came to make sure that he had his needs met before a long drive with me. Got an along well with her dog, in a family setting with a backyard — really appreciate her care.”
“Remi had a great time boarding overnight with Alexis and her husband!! The backyard is perfect for dogs and they had great communication! Would definitely recommend and plan on using again! 😊”
“Amazing! Rafaelina was extremely accommodating last minute. Her love and support was incredible and the space provided for our pup is superb. She treats your pet like her own and your pet will have a blast.”
“Aurora was right at home during her stay and I was worry free! From the moment I met Saiad and he showed us around I knew Aurora would be in good hands. Clean and attentive- making sure to share photos and details of Aurora’s stay. It was just the safe, happy stay we required.”

“I cannot recommend Greeshma enough! From the very beginning, she showed genuine care and attention to detail with my cats. Not only did she follow all my instructions perfectly, but she also went the extra mile to make sure my pets were happy and comfortable. I could tell my cats were in great hands because they were relaxed and content when I got home. If you want a reliable, attentive, and caring sitter who treats your pets like their own, Greeshma is the best choice. I’ll definitely be booking again! Thank you for such wonderful care!”

About: I’ve been a dog lover since I was six years old, growing up with pets back home in Guatemala. Over the years, I’ve cared for all kinds of dogs—big, small, playful, and shy—and I’ve gained experience with everything from daily walks to giving medication. I currently don’t have pets of my own, which means I can give your dog my full attention. You can expect lots of walks, playtime, love, and regular photo and video updates. I live in a calm, pet-friendly environment and I’m home all the time, so overnight care is never a problem. I’m here to make your dog feel safe, happy, and right at home! I work part-time in the mornings and am free the rest of the day, and I’m available to board your dog anytime that works for you. Since I work nearby, I can easily accommodate your schedule for drop-offs and pick-ups. I spend most of my time at home, giving plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship. I especially enjoy taking dogs on walks—it’s a great way for them to get exercise and have fun. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I love being active with animals and making sure they feel happy and loved all day long. I live in a calm, pet-friendly environment where your dog can feel safe, relaxed, and loved. My home is free of harmful plants and other hazards, I always keep the space clean and comfortable. I have a big yard where I can walk and play with your dog throughout the day, giving them plenty of exercise and attention. I take time to get to know each dog’s personality and needs so they feel right at home. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities, and I’m happy to follow any routines that help them feel secure. I know trust matters, so I always keep pet parents updated with photos, videos, and clear communication.
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!
“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!!”
“Travis and Roberta were critical in helping us get our dog settled the first week we had him! They were so kind and patient with him. He loved going over to their house when we couldn’t be home! Their dog was older than ours and was also patient and gentle with him, so it was great socialization for our pup! We will definitely be booking with them again in the future!”
“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.”
“Laurie was an amazing dog sitter for my dog Mookie! He was a tired boy after having so much fun with Laurie. They went on multiple walks and she updated me the whole day with pictures! I loved getting frequent updates and I knew Mookie was in the best hands. Highly recommend Laurie and will be using her again!”

“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.”
“Ron is the best! He is reliable, respectful and trustworthy. We know our dog is in good hands with him every time he comes to walk her. Would recommend Ron without hesitation.”

“Lorenzo did an amazing job walking our baby! Latte doesn’t need much: just a little walk to pee and poop and then he’s ready to head back in. He did just that and it was a great help as I work a hybrid schedule so I’m unable to walk Latte when I’m in office. Having someone come over while we’re out of the house and tend to our baby’s schedule is just something we need, especially with such a trustworthy dog handler! Latte was very amicable with Lorenzo, so this is definitely a great start to something new.”

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 6 years old (but would have started earlier if I was allowed!). I am extremely experienced in walking dogs of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments as I grew up volunteering to walk and babysit dogs in my neighborhood and for family and friends. I cared extensively for my family dog who faced many health struggles up until he passed away in 2021 at the age of 15. Just over a year ago, I got and trained a new puppy from the age of seven weeks who lives full time with my parents while I am at school. I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time for pet care! My schedule varies week to week, but I am extremely flexible and available! I am extremely attentive and accommodating to all needs. Due to my passion for animals and experience caring for dogs specifically, I am more than capable of prioritizing safety and individual needs depending on the environment and service provided.
About: I've loved animals my whole life and grew up around animal shelters thanks to my sister, who is a veterinarian. I'm very active, play sports, and love walking, so I'm happy to keep up with dogs of any energy level. I treat every pet like they're my own and always focus on making them feel comfortable, safe, and happy. With school out for the summer, I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to your pets. I'm available throughout the week and can easily accommodate your dog's routine and walking needs. Whether your pet needs a quick walk, extra exercise, or regular visits, I'm happy to work with your schedule. I believe great pet care goes beyond just the walk itself. I take the time to make sure each pet is safe, comfortable, hydrated, and ready for our outing. I pay attention to their individual needs, whether that's extra playtime, a slower pace, or lots of exercise. I also help keep their space clean and comfortable so both pets and owners can feel at ease knowing they're in good hands.

“We had an excellent experience with Michael from Rover. From the very beginning, he demonstrated outstanding communication by ensuring we brought all the necessary supplies and asking thoughtful questions about our three furbabies' care. He was always responsive and replied to our messages promptly, giving us confidence that our pets were in great hands. During their stay, Michael went above and beyond by sending us daily updates with pictures and messages, which gave both my fiancé and me peace of mind. He also carefully followed all of our care instructions, including cleaning our pets' eyes as requested, showing genuine attention to detail and compassion for their well-being.
