“Karen has watched Malakai twice for us now- the second visit was for over a week. He was so happy to see Karen when I dropped him off for a second stay so I could tell his previous experience had been a positive one. We received lots of fun pictures and Karen kept me updated on his stay all the time. He looked great when I picked him up the second time and it is obvious he was well taken care of. The best thing about Karen is she is very knowledgeable on dog behavior. She really is an expert read which means she is very capable of discerning dogs' needs and keeping multiple dogs safe. We are very happy with our experience!! Thanks Karen!!”
“Monte did a wonderful job keeping tabs on my pup! He was kind and welcoming with the introductions, as well as his furry companion. Definitely will be contacting Monte again in the future.”
“Tasha and Joseph are amazing dog sitters and I could not recommend them higher. They watch my dog Tesla while I was away on a trip I was unavoidable. They were so accommodating and were even willing to give him his medicine in our absence. They sent us pictures every day and it was clear that he was thoroughly played with. I cannot say enough good things.”
“Josephine was able to take my request on short notice. We had a meet and greet the day prior to me dropping him off at a dog park and she had her 3 dogs as well as another potential client at the meet as well. All of the dogs got along great and Josephine is very knowledgeable and patient. She gave me advice for my pup for his anxiety for future stays. I am very appreciative.”
“Cori was a super host for our puppies. She did everything in her power to make them feel comfortable and at home. Her daily updates kept us informed on our puppers.”
“Like so many dog parents lost in the nerve wracking process of leaving your dog with someone new, we landed on Tonia. We scoured the listings and we made the RIGHT choice. She was very welcoming. We had a great meet and greet so Gus could meet her dogs and explore her space. Her house is very dog friendly and the yard is spacious and shaded. She was great at communicating and sending pics as well. Drop off and pick up was a snap. If you’re on the fence, jump on over and meet her. I would recommend to a friend and family and I would definitely use her again.”
“Highly recommend! My dog stayed here for a multiple day booking and had an amazing time. The sitter was fantastic and which allowed my dog to socialize and spend time around a friendly large breed dog, which was a wonderful bonus experience. It was great to see my dog so comfortable, well-cared for, and happily socializing. I will definitely use this sitter again in the future!”
“Fantastic, trustworthy pet sitter. I was nervous to leave my fur baby and Jane did a wonderful job making me feel comfortable and keeping me updated while I was away.”
“Oscar enjoyed his stay and came home perfectly relaxed from a stress free time away from home. We were very pleased with the care he received from this family!”
“Leeann was great! She sent us updates with pictures and took amazing care of our little pup. We were happy to know she had fun and met new doggy friends in the meantime.”
“Michelle is fabulous! I take my Australian Labradoodle to her and she cares so much about him. She goes on daily walks, plays outside with him, and keeps him safe. I feel so comfortable with him being there. Thanks again Michelle! We’ll be back.”
“Kelti & Tanner are awesome! They are committed to accommodating you and your pet in all ways possible (incl. waking up to feed your dog at 5:30 AM/6 AM on weekends) If you're like me, then you are anxious whenever you have to leave your pet. While my big boy (Koda, a 78-pound yellow/white labrador retriever) stayed with with Kelti & Tanner, I knew I had nothing to worry about. That peace of mind is priceless.”
“Leann is my go to sitter for my pup for almost about a year now and she’s been heaven sent to my family and I. She’s been so reliable whenever we need her, she answers the call. By far the best sitter I’ve ever had. She’s a great communicator, and expert of my dogs temperaments that really gives me a peace of mind when I’m away. I always know my pup is in good hands with Leann!”
“We needed a last minute dog sitter and used the rover app for the first time to find someone close by and I got so lucky to find Chrissy to help us out. The dogs loved the big backyard and played so well with their own dogs. I will definitely use her again. ❤️”
“Madison took great care of my girl! She sent me daily updates and photos and responded promptly whenever I reached out. She treated her as if she were her own and I would definitely trust her to watch my baby again!”
“I needed a place to board my dog for a night while my husband and I went to a wedding. Our dog has been to standard daycare facilities but isn't fond of being left alone so we didn't like the idea of her staying in a kennel. Alison was really accommodating and assured us that our sweet girl would get plenty of attention and play time with her own dogs, which is perfect because our girl loves to make friends. We were afraid that she'd have trouble settling in because she's very attached to us, but we were put at ease when Alison sent a picture of our girl sleeping on a comfy couch. They also made sure she had her allergy meds and food. This is exactly the environment and attention our dog needs to be comfortable being away from us for a bit. Thank you so much for watching her!”
About: I've been around dogs my entire life and currently have a two-year-old Doberman of my own, so I understand the care, patience, and attention they need. Friends and family have always trusted me to watch their dogs, whether it's for a day, a weekend, or longer. I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I treat every pet like they're part of my own family. My goal is to make sure every dog feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you're away. I work full-time Monday through Friday, with a hybrid schedule that gives me extra flexibility for pet care. I work from home on Mondays, Fridays, and every other Thursday, which allows me to provide potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention throughout the day. On the days I'm in the office, I'm available after 5:00 PM for evening visits, and walks. I'm also available most weekends, making it easy to accommodate weekend getaways, vacations, or last-minute bookings. I do my best to be reliable, communicative, and flexible so pets can stay on their normal routine while their owners are away. Caring for pets has always been a big part of my life. I have a friendly 2-year-old Doberman who keeps me active, so I understand the importance of regular exercise, routine, and plenty of attention. We go on daily walks and runs, and one of our favorite stops is Paris Baguette, where the staff always loves seeing him and he gets a pup cup. There's also a dog park just a block from my home where I can take dogs to safely play and socialize if their owners are comfortable with it. Whether it's sticking to feeding schedules, giving medications if needed, or simply making sure every pet feels loved and comfortable, I care for every dog as if they were my own.

“Angel was extremely responsive when setting up the meet and greet and took amazing care of Mr Cat! She sent daily photos and updates and he looked happy and cared for!”
“Olivia was great with our kitty for two weeks while we were out of town. She sent pictures and kept us updated on any new behaviors or issues. We will definitely be asking her to care for our kitty in the future!”
“Heather was wonderful! She sat & spent time with my kiddos, and provided pictures each session. Makes me feel so much better having someone I can trust there for my babies when I have to be away!”
About: I have spent over 4 years volunteering at animal shelters with both dogs and cats. I have also grown up with both dogs and cats - primarily small breeds. At the shelter I specialize in dogs, and have worked with breeds ranging from Cane Corsos to Toy Poodles. I like to both play and relax with dogs, and enjoy dog walking as part of an active lifestyle. I work full time, but WFH 3 days a week. The weekends are when I am most free, and prefer afternoons/evenings. I can be flexible if you reach our! I will check on your pet(s)' food and water supply in addition to making sure they use the facilities. I enjoy brushing pets as well!
“Kate did an amazing job with my two cats for my trip. She sent pictures, a video, and left a note every visit. My cat recently had surgery before my trip and she sent pictures of the incision everyday. She also worked with my shyer cat and made sure he ate. I definitely recommend her!”
“Our cat gets sad (manifests as grumpy) when we are out of town and she is particular about who cares for her. Katrina was wonderful at meeting Lillian on her terms. It was evident that Katrina really understands cat behavior by Lillian’s response to her. She played, accepted pets, and moved around the house freely - behaviors not common with previous cat sitters. We will definitely hire Katrina again!”
“Used to be a Rover Sitter; now first-time Rover user...and Alison was great! She was very communicable and took good care of our very *particular* cat. Would recommend to anyone!”
“We’ve booked Emily every time we’ve needed someone to watch our two cats and she’s the best! She goes above and beyond and we never worry when she’s taking care of Maddie and George!”
About: Hi! I’m Shealynn, a dedicated animal lover who understands that pets are family. I provide reliable, attentive care and treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether your pet needs a walk, drop-in visit, overnight care, or extra playtime, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering basic medications if needed, and keeping owners updated with photos and messages throughout each visit. I have a specific interest in senior and special needs pets as someone who works in geriatric healthcare! I have experience with dogs and cats of different sizes, energy levels, and personalities, and I always prioritize safety and positive interactions. I look forward to meeting you and your pets!
“My lil man was so happy when I came home! Wolf is a great sitter and put my mind at ease while away with great communication and photo/written updates. I returned home to a place as clean as I'd left it so their cleanliness is appreciated! Thanks again, Wolf!”
“Saul was great with our cat, Monty. He took a ton photos of Monty and even got him to play a bit. Left food area and litter box area very clean. Would definitely recommend!”
“Melissa was absolutely amazing. She was prompt, CLEARLY concerned that she had all the information she needed to take care of my cats, and flexible about some last minute complications with my plans. Melissa sent me awesome pictures and notes each day, and had my shy, timid boy eating up her affection. I would not hesitate to recommend her.”
“Great communication and dedication! Anise spent a lot of time finding my cats’ very effective hiding spots in our new home! We look forward to having her back soon! :)”
“I have been using Johnnisha for over two years now and she is fantastic! She always follows my instructions to a T, my cat loves her, and she sends daily updates so I know how my little old man is doing! It really helps alleviate my worry about leaving him!”
“Laura was awesome, our cat usually won't come out for anyone he doesn't know. But I guess he knew she truly is a animal lover, cause he came out to greet her. She took very good care of him, played and brushed him, and even brought one of her cats toys over cause I accidentally locked his up. Thxs Laura”
“Working with Mimi was wonderful. She took great care of our cat while we were away. We appreciated the daily updates and photos. Mimi did a great job communicating with us. I would be happy to recommend her and have her sit for us again.”
“Tiffany was nothing short of a dream, she truly cares about what she does. We had a very busy weekend with our wedding and she totally took charged and watched over our boys. We are very grateful for all her help. She was very attentive to both boys needs and want.”
“Absolutely fantastic experience with our pet sitter, Erika. She did an amazing job caring for my two cats, who are usually very wary of new people. By the end of her time with them, one of my cats even let her hold him which is a huge milestone and really shows how patient, calm, and gentle she was with both of them. Erika was very professional throughout, followed all instructions carefully, and always replied quickly, which really helped ease my stress while I was away. I felt completely confident knowing my two cats were in great hands. I would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.”

“Karen is always great with Ivy. Ivy is well taken care of and loves going to daycare there because of Karen's loving nature. I highly recommend her if you're looking for a sitter.”
About: When Covid started, I accidentally started my business by helping a couple people who adopted dogs outside of their care knowledge. Helping them with their working class dogs (pitbull, collie, and a GSP) and establish a better owner/pet relationship made me realize that this is the right move for my future. Since then I have started my own business as well as helping others with their new family member(s). No creature is too small or large for me. My smallest dog client is 3 pounds and the largest is 215. Aside from that I have expanded my practices with lizards, snakes, cats, and birds. Let me know if you have any questions in the meantime! I am home most of the day. I do part-time work in hospice as well as part-time classes; (I have a door bachelors degree already working towards a BSN). If you have a special needs animal, I am more than happy to comply with their schedule, I just need to know in advance as much as possible. I have a fenced in yard in the back (will have a fully fenced in yard by the end of August in the front). My dogs have a semi strict schedule of activities to keep them mentally/physically stimulated. I follow suit with everybody’s dog. Everybody eats in their own crate, is provided with soft bedding to sleep on in their own crate, but exercise thoroughly throughout the day.
“Rachelle is awesome! She really cares for my dogs needs and knows how to handle her reactivity to other dogs. She read the long list I gave her of info on our dog and sent multiple updates during the day. And she was able to handle my dogs quirky behavior really well (a mini dachshund). I really recommend Rachelle if you want ur dog to have more individualized care than just a boarding kennel. And Rachelle is really nice as well. I’ll be coming back for sure when we go out of town!”
“Jen & Rob took such great care of my dog for day care weekly. He always came home happy, healthy, and exhausted (thank god, he is a high energy Aussie and needed to expel that energy!). Thank you, Jen & Rob for being a safe place for me to bring my dog!”
“Alexa and her boyfriend were so kinda and very easy to communicate with! Her dogs were so sweet and welcoming to my old man too. My pup had a great time staying at their place and was very comfortable! I got photos and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind, while I was out! 1000/10 recommend☺️”
“Jessica was a great help at short notice to watch our pup Ollie for a doggy day care visit. Communication was easy and her response to my initial inquiry was super quick. Drop off and pick up was also easy, and Ollie came back happy and healthy! Thanks, Jessica!”
“Leeann was amazing with a last minute booking and being so flexible on drop off and pick up times. Thank you for finding a calm room for her to stay where she was comfortable too!”
About: I’ve taken care of pets of many kinds since I could remember. Friends, Family, neighbors have all relied on me to walk, bath, and feed their pets. Plus I love animals and helping everyone or anyone I can :) I’m currently working part time but I’ll still have time to play with your fur baby anytime just shoot me a message and we could make it work any day turn the week or month. I also take future booking if you need a dog sitter/house sitter in a couple months or so as well. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company and I can crate your dog if it is needed
About: Since about 12 years old my neighborhood friends would hire me to dogs sit while their family went out of town. I’ve always had a huge amount of love for animals so I never had any problem doing so. Fast forward 5 years later my parents began breeding French bulldogs. My siblings and I had a lot of responsibility on our hands are far as feeding them, bathing, keeping them groomed, making sure they’re up to date on shots and etc. I currently work from home so that’s enables me with plenty of free time to walk, play with/take to the park, and feed your lovely animals! In my home my dog is crate trained. I do have a crate for my puppy for if friends come over and are not comfortable with him I can put him away for a few hours. I prefer all animals be crate trained , but only go to the crate if they would like to do so. I do not mind dogs walking around my house. I have a puppy of my own so every morning I get up and take my puppy on a 30 minute walk as well as every evening once I get home from work. I have an animal friendly house so I usually let pups/kittys run around the house as long as they’ve been fed and taken out for a potty break.
“Watson enjoyed his stay with Susie! She was flexible regarding drop off and pick up times. She was communicative. I felt safe leaving Watson with her! Watson seemed very happy when I picked him up! Highly recommend her services.”
About: Hi my name is Patrice. I'm a veterinary technician who loves being with animals even outside of my normal work day. If I could I would adopt a million pets but unfortunately that's not an option. I take pride in being able to help care for pets outside of my own. There's nothing more fulfilling than being able to play with fur babies when the owners cannot do so because of work. I am able to provide exercise time, medication administration, ear cleaning, and basic grooming. If you are in need of any of the above services feel free to reach out to me. I would love to get to know you and your fur babies and develop a life long bond. Pet care fits into my daily routine perfectly. I'm always with pets even in my dreams. Rather I am walking pets or meeting up for grooming appointments, I'm always with pets. I get a background of the pets home life and mimic that while they are with me. Routine works best with most pets. When you switch up what they are used to they do not do well.
“Dirk was great! He met my babies and they started to get warmed right up! Bo was nervous and Dirk was calm and willing to let him choose when he as ready to snuggle. Super awesome and helpful with local tips about Cincinnati!”
About: Hello! My name is Sara, and I live in Fort Wright, KY. We have a dog named Marty and two cats, Nora and Nelson. I am very comfortable with dogs and giving them the best care they deserve. I am also capable of administering medications. I work from home, so I am available throughout the day to address any needs your pet may have. I believe that any pet should be treated as if they were my own and nothing less! When your pet is with me, I can assure you that they are in good hands and you can be worry-free while you are away. **Must be able to board with other dogs!** Caring for your pet is my number one priority. I can assure you they are in great hands! **Must be child-friendly!!** Working from home allows me to be super flexible for walks, potty breaks, and one on one time they may need while you are gone! **Your dog must be potty trained, if not I will charge an additional $20/day** I care for any pet that comes to my house as if they were my own. I think it’s very important that your pet feels safe and comfortable. There will be plenty of walks, treats, and fun while they are here! My goal is for your pet is to enjoy their time so much while they are here, they want to come back again!
“We had some rocky communication difficulties in the beginning due to the app, but aside from that everything was great! Shanikka took great care of Daphne and sent me many photos and updates throughout the day. It was hard for me to find someone who was willing and able to watch such a young puppy and I’m very appreciative of Shanikka and her family. I will definitely be booking again in the future!”
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. I’m patient, caring, and treat every pet like family.

About: Hello! I’m a Part-Time working Momma and we love animals! I have grown to enjoy dogs mostly. I’ve had a pet dog for a great amount of my life as well as other animals like rabbits, fish and snakes! Size or age doesn't matter, they are all fun. I love their energy and seeing how they interact with loved ones. I frequently help out family members with their dogs which includes bathing, walking, picking up their food and medicine. Taking trips or “car rides” are also a fav’ we partake in. Dogs are truly a pleasure to have and I would love the opportunity to provide care to your fur baby! I have open availability now and have one kiddo! We are up pretty early for school/sports and events so I am pretty flexible with boarding/scheduling! I have a fenced in backyard with lots of space to run and play. I also have a finished basement for those that are potty trained.
“Jenny and her family were amazing!! They took care of my dog like he was their own. He had so much fun and didn’t want to leave. Jenny also sent me awesome pictures of all the fun he was having. Thank you so much!”

About: As an animal lover, I’ve watched my friends cats & dogs while they’re out of town. My favorite part of watching them is taking them on walks along with giving them lots of cuddles & play time. I currently work as an esthetician & artist who creates my own schedule based off of appointments & gigs. My career is flexible & allows me to care for animals most time of the day & week! In my own home, I make sure my cats receive playtime, attention, pets & cuddles. Within a clients home, I’d make sure to understand each individuals animals needs and how they are typically cared for. This is vital to me, so the animals are able to maintain their same routine & schedule alongside receiving the care & playtime they deserve.
About: I’ve cared for various dog and cat breeds/personalities throughout my life, I love them all! I have some experience administering medications to dogs and cats. I am patient and consistent when it comes to following rules or a routine. I will treat your babies like they’re my own! My daily routine includes caring for my 3 kitties by playing with, cleaning up after, and feeding/watering them; I’d love to do the same for your pets! I’m familiar with special diets and administering various forms of medication, as my cats and other pets I sit, are on medicated diets and take additional medications. I currently have open availability, save a few social obligations over then next two months, but I’m flexible and communicative so we can always discuss timelines! I treat other’s spaces with care and consideration, I like to be respectful above anything else. I love all animals and treat the pets I sit with the same care I do my own.
“Mel is amazing with our dog Poppy! She took Poppy on multiple walks and even played with her in the house when it was raining too hard for our dog to be comfortable outside. She is very responsive and followed Poppy’s routine perfectly. Couldn’t be more happy to have booked with Mel!”

“Wolf was amazing! We booked last minute and had some changes in our itinerary, but was still very according. Romeo was so happy when he got back from his walk with Wolf. Will be booking again! Thank you!”
About: I have always owned dogs and one is medium sized and one is small. I got a five month old puppy when I was 14 and trained her fully. I dog sit for family and friends and want to expand and do more dog sitting! I love cuddling with dogs, taking them for walks, and playing with them. I adore dogs so much that I did a research presentation in a public speaking class about different dog breeds and their traits! In the summer, I am a part time nanny for a wonderful family. As of right now, I am available on Monday mornings and early afternoons, Friday afternoons and nights, and all day Saturdays and Sundays. During the school year, I am away at college as a nursing student but come home for a few days monthly. I am fully capable of giving your dog walks, clean up their mess, give medication, crate them, etc., genuinely anything that is important to you! I will give so many belly rubs and cuddles as well.
About: I have had animals since I was 5 and started the learning process of how to take care of them at that age as well. Starting at 15, I started to take care of neighbors’ and friends’ pets when they have gone on vacation. I have experience and am comfortable with all sizes and ages of pets! I am able to train basic skills as well, such as sit, paw, lay down, and stay! I’m currently a full-time student who volunteers and shadows veterinarians. So most days I’m able to do three drop ins per day. In the morning before my classes at 9 AM, during lunch time, and then after 4 pm and the rest of my night is free aside from homework and studying! On the weekends I am more freely available aside from volunteering in the mornings some days and taking care of my own dog! I will give your fur baby love, cuddles, and proper care as if they’re my own! I would appreciate a list of what they are used to day to day so I can give them as close to their normal routine as possible!
About: I grew up with five cats and one dog, and have helped pet sit friends’ dogs. I am very comfortable playing, feeding, going on walks, cleaning litter boxes, etc. I now have my own tripod cat as well, so I have also learned a lot about caring for pets with different needs! I will be working part time, and not taking classes this summer semester. So I will have plenty of time to stop by throughout the week. I make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and stick to their usual routine. I am very careful on checking that doors, gates, and leashes are secure. I follow all instructions closely and keep owners regularly updated!
“This was our second walk with Tess and we are excited to already have future dates booked with her! We really appreciate Tess’s communication, promptness, and genuine care for our gentle giant of a dog.”
About: Animals have been so much the center of my life that I made it my career! I am a professional dog trainer with an education through Jean Donaldson's Academy for Dog Trainer's. Let me bring that experience to carrying for your best friend's when you need a set of extra hands. I have loved and cared for pets my entire life! Growing up we had cats, dogs, birds and lizards. Currently I have two Great Pyrenees and one cat of great personaity. They have been my guides in the wonderful world of clicker training. Ghost, my rescue dog, has given me a lot of experience with anxious, sensitive dogs that need a little more time and care. Where as Nanuk has shown me how to handle dogs with a ton of drive and intelligence. And how to harness that despite physical limitations. And my cat... well, he comes running whenever I get the treat bag and clicker and has his own variation on all the dogs tricks. ;) I look forward to meeting your pets and seeing what I can learn from them! I am currently working part time and happy to work with you on scheduling. My husband is also retired which allows me a lot of flexibility for being away from home I do not care for client pets in my home. When is someone else's home I will do my best to continue your pet's usual routine while you are away.
About: I've been surrounded by animals my entire life and have always had a special love for pets of all kinds! I grew up with dogs and spent a lot of time at my grandparents' farm, where I would often spend time with dogs, cats, and horses. I've had at least one dog my entire life and have always been very involved in their care. Right now I have two dogs, Remi is 14, and Winston is 6, so I am very familiar with the needs of senior and younger pups. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. Whether it's going for walks, playing outside, sticking to a feeding schedule, or simply giving them plenty of attention and affection, I'll make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I'll treat them with the same care and patience I would my own. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is in good hands. I am currently a student pursuing my master's degree, and I also work part-time. My daily/weekly schedule is flexible between work and school. I can make most times work, so feel free to request times! I can promise all pet owners I serve that I will follow their directions fully, and safety is my top priority. I will always treat your pet as my own!
About: Hi! My name is Claire, and I’m someone who has always had dogs growing up — they’ve been a huge part of my life. Now that I’m in school, I really miss having a dog of my own, but I know I don’t currently have the time to fully raise one. That’s actually what drew me to Rover: I get to spend time caring for and loving dogs while also helping owners in my community feel confident their pets are in good hands. I genuinely love dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, and I take caring for them seriously. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just giving them attention and comfort, I treat every dog like they’re my own. I’m reliable, attentive, and always focused on making sure pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for. Being in school has taught me how to manage my time responsibly, and pet care is something I truly enjoy rather than see as a chore. I would love the opportunity to help care for your dog (or cat!) and give them the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve while you’re away. Pet care fits well into my routine because I’m currently in school and have a flexible schedule. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and sitting during weekdays and weekends, and I make sure pets receive consistent attention, playtime, and care throughout the day! I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort when caring for pets in my home or a client’s home. I carefully follow feeding, medication, and routine instructions, keep environments clean and secure, and make sure each pet feels calm, loved, and well cared for.
About: My experience goes back to being the go-to walker for our family dog as a kid to minding my cat today. It’s not unusual for me to meet a dog or cat and become acquainted in minutes I work from home with a flexible schedule. Therefore, I can be on-call at various times. I’m also used to fitting pet care for my cat into my daily routine. I make sure to follow all instructions laid out by the pet parent and get clarification wherever necessary, as well as communicate any issues that may arise.
“Melissa was great!!! She gave great feedback, communicated with me about everything, and was always on time. My pup loved her and I wish she was available more!!”
“Audrey is so wonderful with our Remy. He is an energetic pup who really needs his walks while mom and dad are at work. Audrey is consistent and such a sweetie to our boy ❤️”

“Karen has watched Malakai twice for us now- the second visit was for over a week. He was so happy to see Karen when I dropped him off for a second stay so I could tell his previous experience had been a positive one. We received lots of fun pictures and Karen kept me updated on his stay all the time. He looked great when I picked him up the second time and it is obvious he was well taken care of. The best thing about Karen is she is very knowledgeable on dog behavior. She really is an expert read which means she is very capable of discerning dogs' needs and keeping multiple dogs safe. We are very happy with our experience!! Thanks Karen!!”
“Monte did a wonderful job keeping tabs on my pup! He was kind and welcoming with the introductions, as well as his furry companion. Definitely will be contacting Monte again in the future.”
“Tasha and Joseph are amazing dog sitters and I could not recommend them higher. They watch my dog Tesla while I was away on a trip I was unavoidable. They were so accommodating and were even willing to give him his medicine in our absence. They sent us pictures every day and it was clear that he was thoroughly played with. I cannot say enough good things.”
“Josephine was able to take my request on short notice. We had a meet and greet the day prior to me dropping him off at a dog park and she had her 3 dogs as well as another potential client at the meet as well. All of the dogs got along great and Josephine is very knowledgeable and patient. She gave me advice for my pup for his anxiety for future stays. I am very appreciative.”
“Cori was a super host for our puppies. She did everything in her power to make them feel comfortable and at home. Her daily updates kept us informed on our puppers.”
“Like so many dog parents lost in the nerve wracking process of leaving your dog with someone new, we landed on Tonia. We scoured the listings and we made the RIGHT choice. She was very welcoming. We had a great meet and greet so Gus could meet her dogs and explore her space. Her house is very dog friendly and the yard is spacious and shaded. She was great at communicating and sending pics as well. Drop off and pick up was a snap. If you’re on the fence, jump on over and meet her. I would recommend to a friend and family and I would definitely use her again.”
“Highly recommend! My dog stayed here for a multiple day booking and had an amazing time. The sitter was fantastic and which allowed my dog to socialize and spend time around a friendly large breed dog, which was a wonderful bonus experience. It was great to see my dog so comfortable, well-cared for, and happily socializing. I will definitely use this sitter again in the future!”
“Michelle is fabulous! I take my Australian Labradoodle to her and she cares so much about him. She goes on daily walks, plays outside with him, and keeps him safe. I feel so comfortable with him being there. Thanks again Michelle! We’ll be back.”
“Kelti & Tanner are awesome! They are committed to accommodating you and your pet in all ways possible (incl. waking up to feed your dog at 5:30 AM/6 AM on weekends) If you're like me, then you are anxious whenever you have to leave your pet. While my big boy (Koda, a 78-pound yellow/white labrador retriever) stayed with with Kelti & Tanner, I knew I had nothing to worry about. That peace of mind is priceless.”
“Leann is my go to sitter for my pup for almost about a year now and she’s been heaven sent to my family and I. She’s been so reliable whenever we need her, she answers the call. By far the best sitter I’ve ever had. She’s a great communicator, and expert of my dogs temperaments that really gives me a peace of mind when I’m away. I always know my pup is in good hands with Leann!”
“We needed a last minute dog sitter and used the rover app for the first time to find someone close by and I got so lucky to find Chrissy to help us out. The dogs loved the big backyard and played so well with their own dogs. I will definitely use her again. ❤️”
“Madison took great care of my girl! She sent me daily updates and photos and responded promptly whenever I reached out. She treated her as if she were her own and I would definitely trust her to watch my baby again!”
“I needed a place to board my dog for a night while my husband and I went to a wedding. Our dog has been to standard daycare facilities but isn't fond of being left alone so we didn't like the idea of her staying in a kennel. Alison was really accommodating and assured us that our sweet girl would get plenty of attention and play time with her own dogs, which is perfect because our girl loves to make friends. We were afraid that she'd have trouble settling in because she's very attached to us, but we were put at ease when Alison sent a picture of our girl sleeping on a comfy couch. They also made sure she had her allergy meds and food. This is exactly the environment and attention our dog needs to be comfortable being away from us for a bit. Thank you so much for watching her!”
“This is my dog Sam’s second time stayed with Abbie. Sam enjoyed his vocation staying with Abbie. He had so much fun over the long weekend. Thank you, Abbie! We would definitely come back! :-)”
“Lisa did an amazing job with both Duke & Bella! She kept us updated and communicated with us while we were on vacation. My pups absolutely loved being with Lisa. She took her time making Bella comfortable and she went above and beyond. I will definitely book Lisa in the future. Booking was easy. I had to change the drop off time last minute and she was very accommodating as well.”
“Maddie was an incredible sitter. She was very knowledgable and provided pictures and updates throughout the day. There is a big backyard which was great for Chester to get some energy out. I would absolutely request to use her again!”
“A dream team family took our 16 mos, never left before, Moby, in for the Christmas holiday week. Rachel H., from the get-go, giving us a peek at drop off-nothing, but loving, professional, positivity! It was as if he had a comfy, cozy winter ski lodge retreat brimming with guys just like him. To the stars rating in expert care-all health & happiness concerns covered 100 pct. Looking for excuses to let him savor this beautiful situation again.”
“Our dog Bratwurst always has a great time with Amir! Would highly recommend Amir to any other dog owners! Amir is always communicative and thoughtful anytime we book a stay with him.”
