John was an excellent boarder for Milo. He took such great care of him and kept me updated throughout his stay by sending pictures and text messages. He also made sure Milo received his medication on time and as scheduled. Thank you, John, for giving me peace of mind and reassurance knowing that Milo was in such good hands. I truly appreciate the love and care you gave him!

I cannot recommend this amazing dog sitter in Pendik enough! From the moment I entrusted my furry friend to their care, I knew I made the right choice. They were incredibly gentle and caring, ensuring my dog felt comfortable and loved throughout the stay. What truly impressed me was their commitment to keeping me updated; I received regular messages, along with adorable pictures and videos that made my day! It was clear that my pup was in excellent hands. This won’t be the first time, and it certainly won’t be the last time she will be dog sitting my dog again. Thank you for providing such a wonderful experience for both me and my dog.

Veronique and Johnathan took very good care of our dog Kulfi. Kulfi loves to be with other dogs loves to be out in the yard. She had a great time. Their dogs got along well and Kulfi was at home over the 11 days stay. She wasn’t tired or cranky or stressed when we brought her back home as was the case with a couple other boarders. Thank you Veronique and Johnathan for taking great care of our baby!

Sandy is the most caring dog sitter. It is nice to be able to go on vacation and not worry about my dog. Also, Sandy’s dog Lacy is a great companion for my dog Nora. Nora is always so happy to see Sandy and Lacy. Sandy responds instantly to text, sends pictures, and treats Nora as her own. Her house is dog friendly and Nora is welcome on the couch to snuggle. I feel blessed to have found such a loving sitter. Respectfully, Jennifer Pena Proce

Catherine is the nicest of people and her love for dogs is obvious the moment you meet her and see her interact with your pet. She's very easy to set up arrangements with and will provide you with as much info as you want about your pet's stay. Catherine's home is comfortable, pet-friendly and has a nice, big fenced-in yard. Knowing that my dog was so well-cared for by Catherine let me enjoy my vacation without any worry about how my dog was doing in my absence. I highly recommend Catherine for taking great care of your pet when you have to be away! My dog can't wait to go back!

We had such a wonderful experience with Brenda watching Beaux! She was incredibly communicative and sent daily updates and videos/photos that gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. You can truly tell how knowledgeable and experienced she is with dogs, and most importantly, how much genuine love and attention she gives them. Beaux was so happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. She even kindly kept him an additional night for us because our travel plan changed and we appreciated that so much. We would absolutely trust her with Beaux again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable and flexible sitter!

Alev handled everything with such care and professionalism, making sure Coco was comfortable and well-cared for. She even went above and beyond by bringing thoughtful gifts for Coco. We couldn't be happier with the care Alev provided. Highly recommended!

Gerald watched our dog in his home for 10 days, and we couldn't have been happier with the experience. Our dog can get anxious when he's away from home, but he was calm, comfortable, and clearly well cared for throughout his stay. Gerald took him on walks in the nearby park and provided excellent care. He was also a fantastic communicator, sending regular updates, photos, and videos that gave us peace of mind and made us feel connected while we were away. I would absolutely recommend Gerald to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. We'll definitely be booking with him again in the future!

Jennifer was such a great sitter and certainly deserves the star sitter status! She was extremely accommodating with our doggy meet up to make sure our puppy would be a great fit (and also extremely patient with Maya’s high energy!). From drop off to pick-up, Jennifer was in contact with us the whole time providing us with the updates and pictures she knew we needed! It was so difficult to be away from our fur baby for as long as we were but we felt comfortable with where she was and would 100% book with Jennifer again in the future!

About: For 15 years, I have loved and cared for my animals. I was lucky enough to receive excellent training for my shepherd/husky and incorporate the methods during interactions with other animals as well as my new puppy. I completely understand needing reliable care when away. Patience, exercise and attention work wonders!! I'm currently working remote on Thursdays and am able to fit walks in throughout the day as well as during weekends. A varied schedule is fine!! Ensuring the animal's environment is the same when I leave as when I arrive is necessary to prevent injury or any accident. My yard is completely fenced in and equipped to play and run!

I have a 13 year old Chihuahua named Oakley, who has never been left with anyone outside of family. We planned a vacation and had no one available to watch Oakley, then someone told me about Rover.com. That’s where I found Denise. After a meet and greet, I can tell Denise had a true love of animals. I was no longer stressed about leaving Oakley with someone else. He was in a caring and safe environment, and was in very good hands. Denise always kept in touch, and sent pictures of Oakley often. I’m very pleased with the care Oakley got and recommend Denise highly.

Jassah was the absolute best! ?Such a kind spirit and nurturing energy. Our kitten Little definitely grew attached to her during her stay, because she didn’t want to leave her. Jassah made sure to maintain contact with us every day while we were away, sending photo updates and showing enrichment activities. I have never felt more peace of mind with an animal sitter as much as I have with her. Our kitten can be a little rambunctious, but Jassah was patient and able to give her attention. I one hundred percent would recommend Jassah to anyone and will definitely be using her services again. Thank you! ?

Had an initial mixup at drop off of no answer at the house, but problem was resolved after texts and a call to Rover, who was quick to help resolve the problem. But the day worked out great, and Leo seemed to have had a great time playing with Cynthia’s dog. He came home a happy and tired dog. We would use Cynthia again.Thank you, Cynthia

So incredibly pleased with Laurie’s services! She watched my 10-month old bulldog, Augie, for the day and he had a blast! I know this because Laurie was kind enough to send me pictures throughout the day of Augie playing with the other dogs she was watching! Laurie is incredibly accommodating and very quick in responding to messages. When I went to her home to pick Augie up in the evening, he was ready to go with a special “doggy” bag of treats! Very sweet gesture! We will definitely be using her services again for doggy day care and also boarding needs! Thank you Laurie and Cliff for all the extra love and attention you gave to Augie!!

Cece loves going to Catherine’s house for daycare! Catherine always sends pictures of Cece having a great day playing with the others and I know I can trust her to watch her. I was nervous because she is a small, young puppy but now she has been attending daycare for a few months and I am comfortable leaving her there without worry.

About: I am a animal lover I grew up with lots of animals.I have my grooming diploma. I am CPR/pet first-aid certified and I have a diploma in animal physical therapy. I'm a home health aide my hours are very flexible, I would like to take care of your wonderful dog. I was born in Puerto Rico and I currently live in Long Island, I have a beautiful daughter, and 13 years old son, all who loves animals just as much as I do. I have a adorable 11 year old English Cocker spaniel named Snowflake , 3 year old French Bulldog named Lexie , 2 year old French Bulldog named Diesel and an Sphynx Cat named Theo. Your dog will get all the love and attention that it would need. Looking forward to taking care of your wonderful pets. Your doggie will wake up to breakfast and playtime in the yard followed by a full day of love and fun! During nap time, your dog will be enjoying their private doggie suite. When we created our private doggie suite, I was thinking of all the things I would want our dogs to have if we were away. Our checklist of amenities include: - private couch/futon for lounging - clean fresh water bowls 24/7 - several breaks for play time outside - 24 hour recorded camera monitoring in - secured locked doors -AC and/or heat & fans with temp alerts - TV and ALEXA/echo music - fenced secure yard - easily cleaned floors **rates are for 24 hour periods. After 24 hours, it’s $10 an hour. - puppies and tiny dogs may stay in smaller secure area or my be bought in our home. -LOTS OF LOVE AND ATTENTION ❤️ When taking care of dogs, it's important to provide them with plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. Here are some fun activities I can do with the dogs I watch: Walking is a great way to provide dogs with exercise and mental stimulation. I Choose different routes and places to walk, such as a local park, beach, or hiking trail. Most dogs love playing fetch. I can take your dog or dogs with your permission to a fenced dog's park and play a game of fetch with a ball or frisbee. Dogs love to play with toys, such as squeaky toys or tug ropes.

About: I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from puppies to senior dogs. I currently own four dogs: two adult Belgian Malinois, a German Shepherd puppy, and a senior Shih Tzu mix. I have crate trained and potty trained multiple puppies and am familiar with the time, patience, and consistency required for successful training. Through caring for both high-energy working breeds and senior dogs, I have experience managing different exercise needs, routines, temperaments, and levels of care. I am committed to providing a safe, structured, and positive environment for every dog in my care. I am home most of the time and provide full-time care for the dogs in my home. Because I am available throughout the day, dogs receive regular supervision. I have a securely fenced yard where dogs can safely go outside for potty breaks and exercise. I am comfortable reinforcing crate training when needed and believe crates are a valuable tool for safety and routine. My own dogs are crate trained and are crated when they cannot be directly supervised to ensure their safety and prevent unwanted behaviors. I provide a structured, safe, and supervised environment while making sure each dog receives plenty of attention, care, and opportunities to play and relax.

About: I’m a retired professional with a calm, patient nature and a genuine love for animals. My sister has two dogs, one of whom is a super senior with special needs, so I’m very comfortable providing extra attention, patience, and thoughtful care. With a flexible schedule and plenty of time to devote to one-on-one care, I enjoy creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for dogs and cats. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, medication routines, or quiet companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own—offering reliable care and true peace of mind to pet parents. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine. As a retired professional, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to plan my day around a pet’s needs rather than the other way around. I’m home for most of the day, which means plenty of time for walks, play, feeding, medication schedules, and quiet companionship. I enjoy building consistent routines that help pets feel secure and comfortable, and I’m able to give them my full attention without feeling rushed. This flexibility also allows me to adapt easily to senior pets or those with special needs who may require extra time, patience, or monitoring. I tailor my care to each pet’s individual routine, personality, and needs—whether in my home or in a client’s home. I follow all feeding schedules carefully, provide fresh water, regular walks or playtime, and plenty of attention and companionship. I’m especially attentive to senior and special-needs pets, including administering medications as directed and keeping a calm, consistent environment. In a client’s home, I respect their routines and space, making sure pets feel secure and comfortable in their familiar surroundings. I also keep pet parents updated with check-ins and notes so they can feel confident their pets are happy, safe, and well cared for while they’re away.

Amber was amazing—truly a lifesaver for a last-minute daycare! She took great care of Miller and kept me updated throughout the day, which gave me so much peace of mind. I 100% recommend her, and Miller can’t wait to go back for more fun!

Melissa was fantastic with our Dalmatian puppy Spot! Our furry baby adored his walks with Melissa and looked forward to them every day. Melissa took the time to understand our puppy's needs and always gave us updates for each walk, along with photos. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone in need of a dog walker. Thanks so much, Melissa!

I cannot recommend this amazing dog sitter in Pendik enough! From the moment I entrusted my furry friend to their care, I knew I made the right choice. They were incredibly gentle and caring, ensuring my dog felt comfortable and loved throughout the stay. What truly impressed me was their commitment to keeping me updated; I received regular messages, along with adorable pictures and videos that made my day! It was clear that my pup was in excellent hands. This won’t be the first time, and it certainly won’t be the last time she will be dog sitting my dog again. Thank you for providing such a wonderful experience for both me and my dog.

Veronique and Johnathan took very good care of our dog Kulfi. Kulfi loves to be with other dogs loves to be out in the yard. She had a great time. Their dogs got along well and Kulfi was at home over the 11 days stay. She wasn’t tired or cranky or stressed when we brought her back home as was the case with a couple other boarders. Thank you Veronique and Johnathan for taking great care of our baby!

Gerald watched our dog in his home for 10 days, and we couldn't have been happier with the experience. Our dog can get anxious when he's away from home, but he was calm, comfortable, and clearly well cared for throughout his stay. Gerald took him on walks in the nearby park and provided excellent care. He was also a fantastic communicator, sending regular updates, photos, and videos that gave us peace of mind and made us feel connected while we were away. I would absolutely recommend Gerald to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. We'll definitely be booking with him again in the future!

Jennifer was such a great sitter and certainly deserves the star sitter status! She was extremely accommodating with our doggy meet up to make sure our puppy would be a great fit (and also extremely patient with Maya’s high energy!). From drop off to pick-up, Jennifer was in contact with us the whole time providing us with the updates and pictures she knew we needed! It was so difficult to be away from our fur baby for as long as we were but we felt comfortable with where she was and would 100% book with Jennifer again in the future!

About: For 15 years, I have loved and cared for my animals. I was lucky enough to receive excellent training for my shepherd/husky and incorporate the methods during interactions with other animals as well as my new puppy. I completely understand needing reliable care when away. Patience, exercise and attention work wonders!! I'm currently working remote on Thursdays and am able to fit walks in throughout the day as well as during weekends. A varied schedule is fine!! Ensuring the animal's environment is the same when I leave as when I arrive is necessary to prevent injury or any accident. My yard is completely fenced in and equipped to play and run!

Maria is the best! Our puppies have never been away from us since we adopted them in May, but Maria and her husky Penny made them feel right at home! She monitored any issues they had, and updated us daily on how they were playing or sleeping or pooping lol She has a safe, fenced-in yard, so everyone ran around and played all week. They both came home and slept hard! We will definitely be using Maria again to care for our fur babies! :)

We had a good experience with Alejandro and I can’t thank him enough. He accepted our dog, Bleau very last minute after another sitter no-showed, which already meant so much to us. He took the time to introduce Bleau to his dog slowly and properly, which made us feel really comfortable right away. Throughout her stay, he sent daily videos and updates, so we always knew she was doing well. We even accidentally left her bowls behind, and when we went back to pick them up, Bleau was so excited to see him again — which says everything about how well she was treated. You can tell he genuinely cares about the dogs he watches.

I cannot say enough good things about the care Freedom gave to my senior dog, Chunky. He’s an older dog with some anxiety issues, and Freedom handled him with so much patience, kindness, and calm energy. They went above and beyond. They took him to the dog park not once but twice, made homemade treats, and even gifted him a sweet new bandana. When I came home, I could tell Chunky had been genuinely happy and well cared for. It’s hard to find someone you trust with your pet, but I feel completely at ease leaving Chunky with Freedom anytime. I’m so thankful we found them, and I’ll absolutely be booking again.
