“As always Lulu had a great time with Susan and Frank. Susan sends lots of pictures and Lulu seems very at home from napping in a doggie bed to playing with the other dogs in the backyard. Lulu and I both are happy and secure when she boards with Susan.”
“Jessica deserves 10/10 stars. She was amazing with Bailey. She was able to make our wedding special by bringing Bailey to our wedding ceremony. We definitely plan on using Jessica again for our boarding services in the future.”
“Daniel and Rachel were great with our dog. They have a great house with a fenced yard. Rusty got along with their dogs. Daniel and Rachel constantly sent us pictures and videos so we were happy to see him all the time. We highly recommend Daniel and Rachel.”
“This was my first time using Rover, although many friends us it or are hosts, and this was all new to my corgi, Paisley. We did a pre-visit to make sure she would fit in with Wendy’s two small dogs and her cat, which was great. She was a little overwhelmed and anxious for the first couple of days without me being there, with 2 more dogs boarding too but Wendy handled it well (lots of communication between us, crating for some downtime) and Paisley settled in.”
“Alayna and Adam deserve a 10 star review. They met the needs of our dogs, they followed instructions provided, kept the dogs engaged and stimulated. Dogs were perfect little angels and never showed distress as they were made to feel at home during their stay. Great communcation via messages, videos and pictures. They shared any concerns they observed during the stay and checked in to make sure it was normal behavior and one of our dogs health was okay. They were amazing and accomodating. Their house is clean!! I can't say enough things about them! Will definitely book them again!”
“Beth is wonderful! She was patient with my pup and instead of refusing her services to me she was willing to give him a try. Turned out to be a success! Thank you so much for putting my mind at ease and allowing my puppy a chance to develop his confidence.”
“Sligo had the best time playing with Sarah and Brendan’s pups all weekend! Thank you so much for taking such great care of him! We will definitely be using them again :)”
“I have been booking with Pat for 2 years and will continue to book with Pat. My fur baby is happy when she is with Pat and returns with no anxiety issues. Pat takes good care of my little girl. My fur baby is at home when she is with Pat and her fur baby Lexie!”
“Susan and her husband took very good care of my senior dog. He adjusted well quickly which is not normally his strong suit. She contacted me with any concerns or comments quickly which I appreciated. I highly recommend Susan and we definitely will be ising her again soon.”
“My best friend Bernie… And energetic and very social beagle… spent a lovely six days with Zachary and his dogs. He was sad to go home, which made ME feel kind of bad but at least I know he had a good time! Zachary was an excellent communicator, and offered photos of Bernie during his stay. Large fenced yard.”
“We’re really happy with Debra and how she handled everything for our dog while we were out of town. We arranged for a meetup before the stay to ensure this would be a good match. When I dropped off our dog there was an introduction to the other pets in her home so our pup could get acclimated. While we were away we received daily updates with photos and it looked like our pup was having a great time. Thanks for taking good care and we look forward to scheduling with you again!”
“Jason was patient and thoughtful with our elderly dog. He made the accommodations we needed to meet his special needs. I was glad he was there for our dog while we were out of town!”
“We had never boarded our 5 year old Pomeranian, Oreo and were nervous. Jan took great care of him and treated him as if he were hers. We got lots of updates and pictures while we were gone. We would definitely use Jan again!”
“What an amazing experience! From start to finish. Updates in between. I could tell picking my dog up that he had such a comfortable time! She did not disappoint! Thanks again! (:”
“Once again, Tommy has been cared for by Kathy and Graham so well that we never have to worry when we are away. It's obvious that he remembers and loves them. He enjoys his walks, cuddles and special treats!. The pictures we receive make us smile as well.”
“Dana was great. She did everything we asked and communicated well. She walked our dog 3 times a day and sent plenty of pictures to let us know how she was doing throughout her stay. We also had some medicine that we needed applied and she did that as well. We are going on another trip in a few weeks and we are planning on using her again.”
“The only issue with boarding my girls with Lynn, is that my dogs seem to suffer from postpartum depression for a couple days following their stay. You cannot find a better, more caring, surrogate dog parent for your 4 legged kids. Lots of playtime with Summer (Lynn’s girl), homemade treats, toys galore, cuddles and snuggles at will,… I could on and on… (BTW, unlike Amazon’s reviews, you can take this one to the bank!). A&J send their love to you, Lynn, and keep asking me when sre leaving town again?🙄)”
“Deanna was awesome and Brownie adjusted to her really well! We received daily pictures with her new friends. Dee responds back quickly. She put our minds at ease and knew our girl would be in good hands!! Definitely will be using her again!!”

“Lorene did a great job taking care of my cat. She was very kind and patient, and took the time to play with my cat and help her slowly get familiar and comfortable with her. I really appreciate her care!”
“Juliana was wonderful. Not only did she keep me informed on the status of my cats while I was gone, she offered to take care of some additional tasks for me that were above and beyond. I will not hesitate to call her again in the near future for all my pet sitting needs. Thanks, Carol”
“Ben really helped us out when we were in a bind for Christmas. He sent us a ton of pictures of warner which we love. He spent time with both our cat and dog, which wasn’t required, but he went above and beyond. We are so grateful! Thank you Ben!!”
“Halie is an exceptional person and sitter!! We are so appreciative of her kindness to our 4 rescue cats. They all loved her and that’s saying a lot as one of our babies is super duper skittish. Cat moms and dads- totally book with Halie! So grateful for her and so happy to have the peace of mind that comes with complete trust of your fur babies when you go out of town!! 10/10!! Thank you so much Halie!!!!”
“We took a two week vacation and Denise did a great job looking after our cat Susie. Right before we left, Susie came down with a yet to be determined respiratory illness. The vet believes it is asthma and proscribed some medicine. Denise looked after Susie and made sure she took her medicine. Highly recommend Denise!”
“Joel is awesome. Super nice guy, good communicator, easy to work with & has taken great care of our pup. Gives solid updates at the end of each visit. He goes above and beyond while dropping in at your house. For example - our dog got into our garbage before one visit & Joel cleaned up all the trash off the floor. We appreciate the care he takes in looking after our pup as well as our home. Definitely recommend!”
“Lauren took great care of our two kitties while we were out of town! She is reliable and very easy to communicate with, and clearly an animal lover. We’d love for her to take care of them again in the future!”
“Lynette is truly wonderful with my dog, Hannah. She cares for her with so much love and attention, and I always have complete peace of mind knowing Hannah is in her hands. Lynette spoils her like she is one of her own, and Hannah absolutely adores her. In fact, when I return from a trip, Hannah will sit by the door waiting for Lynette to come back! That says everything about the special bond they share. Lynette is the only sitter I trust and the only one I will book.”
“megan was an outstanding sitter! she was proactive and very communicative, which I always appreciate! she made sure to keep me updated and provided some much-needed photos 🥰”
“I highly recommend Tara as a pet sitter. She watched my 4 cats over the holidays. She provided excellent care, ensuring they were fed, played with, and received the attention they needed. She also gave our oldest kitty medication during her visits. Tara's reliability and genuine love for animals make her the perfect choice for anyone seeking a trustworthy sitter!”
“jenna was absolutely phenomenal with taking care of our cat and house when we were overseas for 2 weeks. she sent very detailed report cards, sent lots of pictures and updates, and responded quickly. we had such a great peace of mind because she was there and will definitely be rebooking. thank you so much jenna and highly recommend her!!!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Elinor as our cat sitter! She was a great communicator from our initial request through her very last visit, which gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were away on an extended trip. Our cats don't always come out for strangers, so we were especially happy to see that they warmed up to her enough to come out for treats and even play with her during some of her visits. She sent us cute photos and thoughtful updates each day, which we really appreciated and loved seeing while we were away. Our flight home was unexpectedly delayed, and she was incredibly flexible about adding an extra day with the girls. It was such a relief knowing they were in good hands. We would definitely use her again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and communicative pet sitter!”
“Jenna did a fantastic job taking care of our two cats. She really cares for your pets like they are her own. The house was super neat and tidy when we returned too. Communication is phenomenal with lots of pictures and detailed notes after each and every visit. Wish I could give 6 stars!”

“Wow! I am so glad I found Susan!! My dog is diabetic, needs insulin twice a day, follows a strict diet, and needs eye meds. Susan navigates everything perfectly!

About: My husband and I own a very sweet, playful Great Dane/mastiff and a pure bred English Mastiff. We have experience with all kinds of dogs and other animals. We have a large finished upstairs where our dog loves to run and play. We have a large backyard that is fully fenced/gated. We walk daily (in nice weather). We have fun toys to play with and a whole room for your dog to sleep in (instead of a cage) but if your dog prefers a cage we have a huge one he can sleep in (or you can bring your own). I stay home so your pet will have plenty of company! We have three young girls who absolutely love playing with dogs. They are gentle and dogs always love them.
“Abby was amazing with our coonhound and beagle puppy! Exercise is a big thing for him, and she made sure he was well exercised and played with! He had an awesome time!”
“My husband and I were traveling across country with our fur baby, Bella and he wanted to visit the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland. They do not allow dogs (unless they are service dogs) into the hall of Fame, so as a Rover sitter myself, I looked for a sitter here. I found Pam and she was great! She provided the care and attention that Bella needed. When we left the Hall of Fame to go pick Bella up, I texted Pam to let her know we were on our way. Pam was thoughtful enough to take Bella for a walk before we picked her up and continued for a four hour drive. I highly recommend her!”

I’m available for walks, overnight stays, and drop-ins Monday–Friday, plus weekends. I’m reliable and loving care is guaranteed. I provide care exclusively in your home to keep your pets comfortable and stress-free in their familiar environment.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats and other animals for 10+ years. Animals need extra love and attention when there parents can’t be there!! I would love to be that person for your animal!

About: Hi! I’m Maria, and caring for animals isn’t just something I do, it’s something I’ve dedicated years of my life to. I have over 10 years of hands on experience working with dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities. From energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a slower pace, I understand that every pet deserves care that’s tailored specifically to them. My partner and I work together as a team, which means your pets receive twice the attention, care, and reliability. Having two experienced animal lovers allows us to be flexible with scheduling and provide consistent, dependable care for your pets, whether you’re away for the day or an extended vacation. I offer: • Dog Walking • Drop-In Visits • House Sitting • Overnight Boarding • Puppy Care • Senior Dog Care • Medication Administration (if needed) • Lots of playtime, cuddles, enrichment, and exercise! I’ve cared for everything from tiny toy breeds to giant breeds, including dogs with anxiety, high energy, special routines, and unique personalities. I also have experience with cats and other household pets, so if your family includes more than just dogs, they’re in great hands too. When your pet stays with us or we care for them in your home, they’re treated like family. We stick to their normal routine as closely as possible because we know consistency helps pets feel safe and comfortable. Whether that means long walks, endless games of fetch, quiet cuddle time, or simply keeping them company, we adjust our care to what makes your pet happiest. As pet owners ourselves, we understand how difficult it can be to trust someone with a member of your family. That’s why communication is one of our top priorities. You’ll receive regular updates, photos, and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is happy, loved, and well cared for. Our goal isn’t just to watch your pet. We want to become someone both you and your furry family member can trust for years to come. We’d love the opportunity to meet you and provide the same love, patience, and attention we give our own pets every single day. We can’t wait to meet your best friend! 🐾 One of us works full time, however the other stays at home and focuses on animals and etc. We’re always able to be flexible and accommodate everyone’s needs We always make sure to meet prior to bookings and if needed or wanted to I do like to send pictures and videos of your fur babies while in my care. I know everyone misses their little babies.
About: I have a sweet beagle that was rescued 7 years ago. I am fully responsible for his care, including feeding, walking, bathing, nail trimming, etc. I always check him for ticks after visiting a park and know how to safely remove them. I enjoy going for long walks, especially in summer, so would be glad to give your dog exercise. My kids have had goats, rabbits, chickens, turkeys, and ducks, which are all fun to play with, and I would be glad to care for your less-typical pets, if needed. I have even cared for lizards and snakes. I am a teacher, so have loads of time available in the summer. During the school year, I am available most weekends and after 4 on weekdays. I always keep dogs on leash when walking them...you never know when a squirrel or other dog will come by or how they will react.
“Katie was incredible, as always. Great communication, great with my dog… super reliable. I never have to worry about things when she is scheduled to come over. Highly recommend Katie!”
“Jane did fantastic with our 6-month old German Shepherd puppy! She was very helpful in working around our busy schedule and was very flexible on short notice. She was very friendly and respectful and I highly recommend her for dog walking/house sitting!”
“Brandon jumped in for an emergency and took over the big walk of the day for 4 days in a row. First night in the dark! Bodhi loved him. Always a good walk!! Thanks, Brandon!! Char”
“We hired Megan to check in on our puppy while we were out for a long afternoon, and she was fantastic! She was prompt with communication, very professional, and most importantly, incredibly caring with our pup. Having Megan there gave us real peace of mind knowing our puppy was in good hands. She sent photo updates throughout the visit, and we could clearly see how happy and relaxed our puppy was. We would absolutely recommend Megan to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful sitter!”
About: Hi! I’m Audrey, and I’m a veterinary professional who truly loves caring for animals. I’ve worked with dogs, cats, and other companion animals in a veterinary setting, which has given me hands-on experience with pets of all ages, personalities, and needs. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet with someone else, and I don’t take that trust lightly. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and relaxed while you’re away, whether we’re going for a walk, hanging out during a drop-in visit, or just keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. I’m comfortable giving medications if needed, keeping an eye out for any changes in behavior or health, and sending regular updates and photos so you know how your pet is doing. I treat every pet like they’re my own, with lots of patience, attention, and care. I’d love the chance to meet you and your pet and help make your time away as stress-free as possible! I currently work full-time at a busy emergency veterinary hospital, so my schedule can vary. Weekday visits are generally the easiest for me to accommodate, while weekends can be a little more limited due to my ER shifts. That said, I’m always happy to discuss your needs and see if we can find a schedule that works for both of us. Feel free to reach out! I do my best to be as flexible as possible! Safety is always my first priority. As a Fear Free Certified veterinary professional, I use calm, gentle handling techniques to help pets feel secure and minimize stress. I’m experienced at recognizing changes in behavior, following care instructions closely, and adapting my approach to each pet’s individual needs so they can feel comfortable while you’re away.

“I had always used a commercial service for boarding, so was nervous about trying this. But after my dog and I met Cheryl, that anxiety went away. Immediately I could see how positively Reka reacted to her. Cheryl kept me up to date with daily messages and a photo. This was the first time I was not worried about boarding and this was the first time Reka did not have stomach issues after getting her picked up. Everything went perfect as Cheryl is very kind, understanding and patient. I highly recommend her. I will definitely use her every time I need someone to watch Reka.”
“Katie is AMAZING!! From the moment I dropped my puppy off until I picked him up. She updated me sent me pictures and was very responsive. I booked her with short notice and also longer visit. I had to add a day and she accommodated it. I will definitely be using her services again in the future. If I could give 10 stars I would she is great.”

“I'm so happy I chose Swetha to watch Kodiak while I was on vacation. She sent multiple pictures a day, took care of his couple dietary needs, and took him on walks. I will absolutely reach out to Swetha the next time I travel and any time I need daycare.”
“AMAZING FAMILY. They were such a great choice for my girl. All the updates they sent were so awesome. Let alone you can just see the comfort, happiness & fun in my girl. I was worried she wouldn’t want to come home because she was loving it so much! Ava seemed to fit right in with the pack as well as feel right at home with them. Out of all the Rovers we’ve had this by far has been my favorite! ❤️ 🥰”
“We were a little bit apprehensive about boarding our dog during our vacation as our dog had not previously stayed with anyone outside of family before, but he could not have been in better hands! Mike and his wife clearly care deeply for all the dogs within their care and treat those staying with them as an extended part of the family. We received regular updates about how our dog was doing and daily pictures! We would happily have him stay with them again.”
