“Aimee did an incredible job taking care of my dog! From the meet-and-greet we knew it would be a great match, but she sent lots of photos and gave my dog so much love I didn’t worry for a second while I was on vacation for a week. I’m looking forward to my next trip so my dog can go back and see Aimee and her family again!”
“Fern will definitely be going back to Vicki’s again. I never had any doubt about my dog being cared for and loved while staying with Vicki and her family. I would 100% recommend her for dog sitting.”
“Second time having Heather and her husband watch our dogs. They were great at communicating and letting me know how well they behaved they were for them. It’s nice to have a loyal sitter for when we are away and do not have to worry about the dogs.”
“Savannah was awesome! She kept me up to date with both pictures and videos. My husband and I both commented on how nice it was to take Sylvie to Savannah's home, compared to a boarding kennel. She got a lot more love, attention and care and came home smelling great too!”
“This was the very first time we used someone outside of our family and Nate and Jenna were more than we could have hoped for!! My babies were well cared for and had the best time!! Thank you so much!! Zoey and Lola will definitely be back soon to play!”
“Always a perfect stay! Louis has such a great time, loves being with your family!! So appreciative of all the pictures/ videos we get. Cant wait for next time! <3”
“Athena was amazing with my pup while I was out of the country. Even though I didn’t have service she sent lots of pictures and videos so that when I could log on I got to see how well he was doing. She was very mindful and knowledgable about dogs that might have “issues” with anxiety, high energy levels, or anything else that may require special care. I am so happy I found her to watch him because I had peace of mind that he was in great hands while I was unreachable.”
“Anita is fantastic. My pup enjoyed his stay with her over Labor Day weekend. Her communication was always details and quick to respond. Anita opened up get home to my dog and made him feel a part of the family. I appreciated the daily updates and pictures. While away I felt comfortable that my best friend was being loved and cared for. I will be booking again.”
“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.”
“Jenna gave my Fen a wonderful introductory stay! She was very attentive to his needs, her family was extremely comfortable having a dog in the home, and I could tell that Fen was stress-free upon pickup (and I know he absolutely loved her large, fenced-in yard). I'll definitely be using Jenna much more in the future!”
“It was the first time I left Kayla with anyone. On our meet and greet I felt very comfortable with Patti and knew she would take good care of my girl. Patti took excellent care of her. I booked with her because she only takes one pet at a time and she had a fenced in backyard. Patti sent me photos of Kayla fetching her ball which is her most favorite thing. I will definitely use her again.”
“This is the first time we used this type of service. Miranda made it easy and answered all my messages in a timely manner. She sent us random pictures during the stay. My girls appeared to have a great time they came back clean and exhausted. We will be using her again in the future.”
“She was awesome and extra attentive since I was sending my cats off to temporary foster and their stay with her. She kept me updated on their interactions and progress in a new environment. She also sent lots of pics and allowed me the opportunity to watch them through camera footage. She was great!”
“My original sitter canceled the morning before my trip. I was frantically trying to find a new sitter and Kathleen let me book quickly without hesitation. I am so thankful for that! I recieved messages and pictures while away and I could tell Myles had a great time and was well taken care of. Thanks again!!”
“Sauddi was amazing! She was incredibly kind and helpful during the booking process and made sure we both had the information we needed ahead of time. She was incredibly patient with my dog who wasn't used to the type of stairs she had in her place. She took my dog out on long walks despite the cold weather and made sure she had plenty of other stimulation. I will definitely use her again!”
“Great couple to watch our pup. We wanted someone with a fenced in yard and other dogs to help socialize and tire our pup out and that’s exactly what we got. Our girl was happy to come back after the initial meet and greet and happy to book with them in the future.”
“Doug did a great job watching our dog Hammy. He checked in multiple times per day and sent pictures. He went above and beyond, walking Hammy multiple times per day, taking him to the dog park, and introducing him to neighbor and family dogs. He made sure we were okay with all of that prior. I have already booked Doug for an upcoming out of town wedding and he will be my go to pet sitter any time I need one.”

“I am so pleased with my dog sitting experience with Karin! We were really comfortable during the meet and greet. Karin took the time to ask questions about Sonnie, and Sonnie and Chubb interacted and played like they had already met. This was my first time leaving Sonnie with her, and 2 minutes after I left she sent me a note and picture, putting me at ease immediately. She communicated and sent pictures a few times a day. She goes above and beyond and I will definitely use her services again (if/when she is available)!”

“Morgan was the best pet sitter I’ve ever had! She was incredibly flexible, communicated with me so well, and sent tons of photos and videos while I was away. She even went out of her way to pick up extra cat food when we ran out. She was so adaptable and genuinely went above and beyond to make sure my cats were taken care of. I could tell she truly cared, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I will absolutely be booking with her again! ❤️”

About: Growing up, my family fostered cats, and it taught me how special and unique each one is. My partner, Jared, also grew up with cats and has a deep love for them. During the seven years I nannied for a family, I cared for their cats as part of my daily routine, ensuring they were happy and well looked after. We both have a genuine affection for cats and would do everything possible to ensure your feline feels loved, comfortable, and completely at ease in our care.
“Our cats love Lexi. This is a cat that never came to a stranger when called. To our surprise, Goldie heard her and came out from the back room, smelled her hand and wanted to be petted. Lexi completes her assignments and I can’t say enough for the kindness she has shown Goldie and Whiskers our cats. I do t have to worry about when Lexi takes care of the cats. We will continue to use her as long as she will let us.”

“AnnaClaire is outstanding 🩷 I could not recommend her more! She housesit and took care of my kitten for nearly two weeks while I was away. Every day she was consistently reliable, communicated often, and really took such great care of my kitten and house. She quickly became my kitty’s new best friend. I would trust her time and time again!”
“Sox did very well. Miranda had other cats there and I was worried Sox would misbehave and not get along well because she is an “only cat”! Miranda made us feel welcome and Sox did wonderfully. I would recommend Miranda to anyone who needs a cat sitter! Job well done!”

“Echo had such a great stay—we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. From the start, communication was easy and reassuring, and it was clear she was in good hands. What really stood out was how flexible he was with scheduling, especially when we had an unexpected delay getting back. Instead of adding stress to an already hectic situation, he was incredibly understanding and accommodating, which meant a lot. Echo came home happy, relaxed, tired (which is not an easy accomplishment) and clearly well cared for (honestly, I think she might’ve been a little disappointed to leave her new babysitter 😄). It’s such a relief knowing there’s someone trustworthy and kind to rely on.”
“It was our first time leaving our boy with someone other than family and they made us feel really comfortable. We knew when we left he was in good hands. They sent us pics/videos showing how comfortable he was. Definitely will go back. Thank you!”
About: I’ve had the pleasure of taking care of various kinds of animals, dogs and cats . I Will respect your love for your animal that you’ve trusted me with. I am Retired, enjoy walking so why not walk a dog? I’m very responsible, and if I say I’ll be there to care for your dog, I will be there. I live in a great neighbourhood with sidewalks. I have no problem taking a dog on a leash to a nearby park. I ALWAYS pick up after dog.
“So good with Maple's puppy energy, her home is so dog-friendly with an amazing back yard for safe wandering and playing. So grateful my puppy can have a great time with her new friends at Kathy's home while I am working!”
About: My rover is always up and always being monitored. I have had a few people reach out to me through this app and we have had wonderful experiences! I know how hard it can be to leave a family member with a stranger! So reach out to me, let’s meet up and make sure that this will be a good fit! My boarding and sitting fees are reflective of the level of care your animal will receive in my care. I treat all animals as my own, allow them regular potty breaks, and take them for walks to expend their energy. My reviews speak for themself! Let me help you keep your animal safe and tended to while you rest, vacation, or attend to business! I live on my own, with only one cat as a pet. I have a two bedroom house with space on the higher level and then an open basement! I’m sure my space can accommodate your fur baby! Send me a message! Let’s see if we can figure this out together. I work from home most days so my schedule is usually wide open to take dogs out to the bathroom during the day and then extra exercise during the evenings. My home is in a quiet neighborhood filled with other lovely dogs. My cat is very nonchalant and typically minds his own business. Additionally, my daughter is only with me half time so that usually won’t pose any issues.
“Such a relief to know our pup is in good hands! Marie was so communicative from the beginning and sent awesome pics of Moose throughout the day. She really cares about dogs and is very knowledgeable. Grateful for her help and expertise!”

I also have a crate if needed as well as a baby gate.
“She was very kind and respondent to requested service at last minute. She definitely seemed like she knew what she was doing, not only does she watch them and do the necessities she goes above and beyond and trains them too while under her care Highly recommend!!”
“We are really happy we found Deborah on Rover to care for our lovable playful girl! Deborah took great care of our Pixie girl, and reassured us with updates and pictures. Pixie had fun playing and slept very well when she came home.”
“Our dog has gone to Zachary’s several times for doggy daycare and he loves it! Each time he comes home happy and tired from playing with his dogs. Would definitely recommend!”

“Finn gets so much joy when his friend Cassie comes! All I have to say is ‘guess who is here’ before she rings the bell and he runs to the front door, with his most excited barking and greets her with so much enthusiasm! And she gets more kisses from him than I do!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️”

“Alicha took wonderful care of our cats while out of town. We've also used her to take the doggo for walks when we couldn't be home. All the four paws really like her. Highly recommended”
About: I have a husky and gray cat in our home now. I specialize in safe, caring, clean and honest services. Puppies and senior animals welcome.

We clean the litter box 2-3 times weekly and feed her dry and wet food.

About: I love rescues, seniors, energetic dogs, loafers and grumpy pets. I call all dogs pups, no matter how old they are. With a scared or unsure dog, I don’t try to force a friendship. I’m happy to sit with them, keep them company and let them decide when they’re ready. I worked for several years at a local veterinary practice and about two years in an emergency veterinary hospital, working with dogs, cats and birds. I’ve had dogs and cats throughout my life, including adult rescues. I also have farm-sitting experience with chickens, ducks, geese, quail, rabbits, turtles, pigs, sheep, goats and turkeys, and have spent time around cattle, zebras, donkeys and horses. My schedule is currently very flexible, with plenty of time for the dogs in my care. Most days include outside time, walks, play, meals, hanging out and plenty of time to relax. I’m happy to follow the routine your dog is used to at home. We have a spacious fenced-in backyard and one friendly, active senior dog who enjoys having company. I’ll want to know what your dog is used to at home — meals, sleeping, crate routine, favorite spots and anything that helps them feel comfortable. Dogs are welcome on the furniture and bed here.
“Melissa was an amazing dog sitter! She was very flexible with our schedule and responded right away when I reached out looking for someone to watch Bruno. Communication was excellent from start to finish, and she kept me updated with photos while we were away, which gave us so much peace of mind. Bruno also had a great time playing with her dog—they got along wonderfully! It was obvious he was well cared for and comfortable during his stay. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Melissa again, and she’ll definitely be one of my first choices the next time we need a dog sitter. Highly recommend!”
“Kelly and her family were absolutely wonderful with my sweet Myka. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing that my pup was being loved in her home as much as we love her in ours. She lives in a beautiful neighborhood with minimal traffic. Kids and families everywhere was perfect Would ABSOLUTELY use agin!!”
