“Thank You ALL for your Loving Patience with Mia as she gets to know you! This was the first time she stayed with anyone that isn't family, so it was a new and scary experience for her. You were all so very kind and gentle with her and I appreciated the periodic updates and pictures! We look forward to seeing you again in October and are so Grateful we found you! :)”
“Jill was fantastic. My regular Rover person was out of town so I searched for another to watch our beloved Golden Retriever we are very protective of. I picked Jill and I was very pleased. I received pictures and updates on how she was doing and how she was getting along with the other dogs in her care. She was well taken care of and had walks and trips to the park. I would highly recommend Jill.”
“We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Kelsi! Will definitely book again next time we need a sitter. She took amazing care of my dogs and communication was great. We got fun little updates and pictures everyday. Thank you!!”
“Stephen watched our dog, Oliver, for us over a long weekend. He and his wife, Connie, were great and Ollie was very happy with them. He was definitely spoiled! We received several photos from Stephen while we were away, which is always nice to see. It was so reassuring to know that he was so well taken care of. We have already booked Stephen and Connie again for our next, longer trip!”
“Susie couldn’t have been kinder to my two geriatric pups, who made themselves perfectly at home and had a lovely time. It’s such a great feeling knowing I’m leaving them in a caring environment while I’m traveling, and she sent so many wonderful pictures throughout their stay. They will definitely be returning!”
“Another wonderful stay with Liz and her family! Our dog loves spending time at her house and there’s always other dogs for her to play with. I highly recommend Liz as she’s attentive and caring and easy to communicate with.”
“Everything went so well! My dog loved Barbara’s huge backyard and comfy sofa. I loved the great care my pup got, including a chance to sleep in the big bed. Pictures and updates a couple of times a day let me know all was well. Thank you Barbara!”
“Chloe was AMAZING!! She took such great care of our dog and was wonderful to work with. She kept us updated throughout our trip and our pup loved her time with Chloe and her family!! Would highly recommend her and hope to have her watch our dog again in the future!”
“Nancy is so wonderful - a safe and loving temporary home for our very special little guy. We not only felt comfortable knowing Nancy was giving Teddy the best care, but also that they were probably both enjoying each others company while we were away. Teddy came home in one piece and was his same normal, happy self. Thank you so much for opening your home to Teddy, Nancy - we hope for more visits soon!”
“This was Ziggys first time staying with Nadine and he was so excited and ran up the stairs to her front door. He must have remembered Nadine and her fur babies from our meet and greet. Ziggy seemed so happy after his weekend with Nadine. Her backyard is amazing. We’ll definitely book again!”
“My dog Bobi had a great time with Suzanne! She loved playing with her dogs and going in and outside all day. I feel she was in great hands with regular communication from her and will definitely use her again.”
“I feel so relieved that I have someone like Myrna to leave my dog Shanti with when I go out of town! It’s always a really easy process and I love the photos I get while away. I can tell my dog is cared for and happy whenever I return home. Thank you Myrna! - James & Shanti”
“Samantha and Brian’s family watched our Wheaten Terrier for two weeks. They kept us updated with photos and we knew he was in good hands. Thanks for giving Charlie lots of snuggles while we were away.”
“Katie was exceptional. She cared for my very young puppy for two nights when I was in a pinch. It was a huge undertaking but she remained positive despite caring for an 11 week old! Communicating with her was seamless and she provided updates complete with photos and videos. Also she picked up abs dropped off which made things so much easier on my end. So grateful!”
“Kristopher was very helpful and accommodating in setting up boarding for my dog just a few days before I needed to leave town. He put my mind at ease with leaving my pup with someone I didn’t know. I got updates and photos of my boy each day and I’m pretty sure Kristopher could make a living doing pet photography! Should I need pet sitting again, I will certainly seek out Kristopher again.”
“While we were on vacation for three weeks, Manisha took care of Dexter. It was evident that Manisha and her family are true dog lovers as they provided exceptional care for Dexter and treated him like one of their own. Dexter had a blast during his stay and felt right at home. We were kept up to date with regular updates and pictures throughout our trip, which provided us with peace of mind. It was wonderful to see how happy and content Dexter was in Manisha's care. Overall, this was the best dog boarding experience we have ever had. Manisha and her family went above and beyond in every way possible, and we will definitely be using her services again in the future. We highly recommend her to anyone in need of dog boarding services. Rest assured, your furry friend will be in the best hands possible”
“River seemed to really love staying with Amy and her family. Their yard is enormous - a HUGE bonus to us because River doesn’t always get along with other dogs at a park. River was able to get worn out in the backyard and have bonus leash walks. Amy sent updates, photos & video and communicated if she had any questions. We will definitely book with Amy again!”
“So happy to have come across Jennifer and Eric before boarding our pup. Seeing photos of him snuggling their kids and knowing he was being loved on all week gave us so much peace of mind while we were on vacation. Thank you guys so much!”
“Peter was wonderful!!! He was very thoughtful and kind. My pup can be a little shy but she loved hanging out with Peter, family and pups! Thanks Peter!!!”

“Jeanette was wonderful taking care of my two sweet kitties, with drop-in visits twice a day for more than a week. It's the longest I've ever left them, and it was so reassuring reading Jeanette’s upbeat report each time and seeing all the photos. She shared specific details for each visit that reflected each cat's personality so I could see they were really doing well. Jeanette also went the extra mile with vacuuming and sweeping up, and taking out garbage. (I'd give her an extra sixth star for that if I could.) Tl;DR — Jeanette took terrific care of my kitties. Highly recommend!”
“I am so thankful for the care Amy provided my cats while I was away for work. I recently adopted a kitten and my adult cat is not yet a fan. Amy was great at adjusting to my cat’s ever changing attitudes. While the kitten was hiding from her, she gave plenty of attention to my sassy adult cat. Once the kitten warmed up, she gave her lots of cuddles. I’m so appreciative how well Amy navigated caring for my girls, I can’t say it enough.”
“Kate was wonderful!! She was very communicative, super kind, and Millie loved her drop in visit! Kate was also super accommodating moving the check in time as our plans changed sort of last minute and we are so thankful for knowing our pup was in great hands!!”
“Diana was awesome! She looked after our two cats and they seemed extremely happy and well taken care of. She played with them and made sure they had everything they needed. Great communication and easy to organize with. Thank you so much!”
“Katie did a great job looking after my older dog. She was right on time, obviously caring and followed all the instructions left for her, even sending photos of her visits. I highly recommend and would definitely hire Katie again.”
“Schellene was reliable and has an understanding of cats, especially our shy kitty. She sent us photos and notes to keep us informed of our cat's progress. I highly recommend her and will be using her again!”
“Katie was fantastic with my cat, Minerva! I was gone for a week and got regular picture and video updates. Minerva can be a little shy at first but clingy once she comfortable. Katie did a great job letting Minerva get comfortable on her terms and was so warm and open to all the cuddles Minerva requires 😂 she was also very respectful of my home and left it in great shape. Absolutely will rebook her and recommend her for anyone with a quirky pet!”
About: I’ve been around cats my whole life whether it was my family cat that we raised from birth and still have today, or family and friends cats. I’ve cared for abandoned neighborhood kittens and brought them back to health and took care of them till they were able to be on their own.
“I have asked for Erich’s help watching my cat Yoko several times now, he is fantastic! Really great communication and is willing to help on short notice. Most importantly he takes great care of Yoko. Truly one of the best rover sitters I’ve ever used.”

“Margaret is fantastic with my puppy! Always right on time for the check-in and sends the CUTEST photos with a detailed update. It really put my mind at ease knowing my pup was in good hands while I’m at work. Highly professional and clearly a dog lover—I’ll definitely be booking them again!!”

“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Kelsi! From day one, it was clear how genuinely caring, patient, and attentive she is with my puppy Lucy. She treats her like her own, making sure she’s safe, happy, well-exercised, and loved. I always receive great updates and photos, which gives me total peace of mind knowing Lucy is in such good hands. Her reliability, communication, and obvious love for dogs truly sets her apart. I am so grateful to have found someone I trust completely and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional care for their dog—especially puppies!”
“Shelly has been taking care of my 6 month old lab pup for a few weeks now. She has an excellent facility, including some air conditioned stalls for resting during hot summer days. She does a superb job caring for my pup and even helps with some of her behavioral training. I greatly appreciate her efforts and the helpful advice she’s given. I highly recommend Shelly if you’re looking for someone to care for your 4-legged family member.”
“Jill was great to work with! This was my first time booking with Rover and Jill made it easy and enjoyable! Every time I contacted her, she was prompt and very helpful with her responses and she sent photos of my dog while he was with her. i I00% recommend Jill when looking for care for your furry family member!”
About: My wife, Connie, a retired nurse, and I have had six dogs over 35 years. We miss them dearly. I have raised dogs from puppyhood through their senior years so I understand the patience, structure and affection that go with it. I am retired from my legal practice of 35 years, and very active. I love long walks and have a nice fenced backyard if pet sitting is needed. Whether your pup needs long walks, gentle companionship or just someone who treats them like family I’m committed to make them feel safe, loved and genuinely cared for. After being self-employed for 35 years I am looking for something to keep me busy and I can’t think of a better way to spend my time. I have a very flexible schedule so I am basically available 24/7. In my home I will provide a warm, clean environment, plenty of attention and lots of outdoor activity since I’m an active retired person with plenty of time to give.
“Rebecca was professional and asked questions to make sure she provided the best care for our dog. She gave us photo updates on how he was doing. Overall, we are pleased with the service. We would have her watch our fur baby again.”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals of all shapes and sizes my whole life. And for the past 8+ years, I’ve cared for dogs for neighbors, friends, and family. I currently have a Zara, a sweet and calm Golden Retriever, that is ready to play anytime, and a cat Logan, he loves to spend his day exploring outside. From energetic puppies who need extra playtime to older dogs who need gentle care, I’m comfortable with every personality and routine. I love long walks, belly rubs, and making sure pets feel loved and safe while their owners are away. I’m also happy to stick to your pet’s exact schedule. I treat every pet as if they were my own, and I know how important communication is, so I’ll always try to give updates. I’m a stay-at-home mom, so I’m home most of the day and can give plenty of attention to your pets. After I drop my two kids off at school in the morning, I have a very flexible schedule for walks, playtime, feedings, and cuddles throughout the day. I’m also available most evenings and weekends for pet sitting or special requests. I have a fenced yard, a very friendly Golden Retriever who loves making new friends, and a cat who enjoys lounging outdoors during the day. I always supervise outside playtime and can separate pets if needed to make sure everyone feels safe and comfortable. I follow your pet’s routine closely, keep fresh water available at all times.
“I love Suzy and my shy little chihuahua loves her too! My little pup is afraid of almost everyone but when we pull into Suzy’s driveway he starts barking and wagging his tail like crazy! She’s the best!”
“Bonnie is awesome!!! Hazel loves spending time at her house during the day and playing with her pups! Appreciate that Bonnie was able to start watching our pup on such short notice!”
About: I love animals and have been around and cared for them all of my life. I have three dogs of my own and live on a 50 acre farm. The back area is fenced, 1/2 acre. I do work during the day so my husband cares for our Rover pets while I am gone. All dogs love him and he is home during the day. I am a very experienced horse owner and can provide care for livestock as well as cats, dogs and birds. I raise Andalusian horses and have been around them most of my Life. Pets are my passion, are important and I love to be around them. They make me happy and I would love to pamper your pets! For house sitting clients, I do work from 6-2pm. I am happy to house sit but am gone during those hours. My husband lets the dogs out as needed all day long. He is home all of the time, so we do not leave our boarders alone. Our clients pets interact with our own pets. We cannot take in pets that do not get along with other dogs and cats. Our boarders will sleep with us or on their own bed if one is brought.
“Hannah & Blake are awesome dog sitters. They're super professional, and we never worry when our pup is with them. They send tons of fun photos and videos, and their backyard is a dog's dream. Our dog always has a blast. Highly recommend them if you want your dog to be safe and happy!”
“He helped get my sweet pups confidence up and playing with bigger dogs without being so submissive! My 6 months pup has gone less than 10 times and it’s already made such a positive difference in our Obi. Thank you for helping our pup grow in great ways!!”
“Hannah was great. She was very flexible and punctual and cared for our pup well. It was nice knowing our dog got to enjoy farm life. She even washed him when he got muddy. Very kind.”
“Damon is a wonderful sitter and handled my two dogs with such great care! They had a great time and came thoroughly exhausted and happy. We got videos and photos throughout the day which was awesome. Your dog will be super cared for and in great hands with Damon! I highly recommend him.”
About: With 8 years of experience as a former veterinary assistant and many many years as a dog Mama, I will love your pets like they are part of our family. I am a stay-at-home homeschooling Mama and my husband works from home. So there is almost always somebody home, if not the whole family. So your pet will never feel lonely. I have a fenced yard and a small doggy-door. Our sweet miniature Labradoodle makes for a great friend and my kids will help give your pet playtime and exercise.
About: I’ve been rescuing animals for over 22 years-I’ve cared for big, slobbery Rottweilers to tiny, judgmental cats, fish who pretend not to notice me, and guinea pigs that somehow eat like linebackers. I’ve handled rabbits with attitude, a special needs Yorkie who runs the house, and our Texas rescue Lucy—who I’m pretty sure thinks she rescued me. I have a designated bedroom with a ring camera just for my furry friends! We can keep the pets isolated in their own space the entire time, or they can have free roaming of the house. Options for those pets who need less sensory and more quiet and privacy. I work full-time at a hospital Monday through Friday, so my availability for more hands-on, all-day care is best on weekends. During the week, I’m still happy to offer overnight stays, I just like to mention that-because on weekdays, there may be up to an eight-hour stretch without potty breaks while I’m at work. I live in a fantastic walking neighborhood and can happily meet you in yours or bring them to mine. Can never get too much exercise in! Plus, my big fully fenced in yard is at their disposal.
“I was looking for a opportunity for my year old Sheltie to gain some socialization skills and have play time with other dogs. Dottie has worked out perfectly. Katie goes a couple of times a week and comes home tired and played out. She already knows that when I say "Let's go to Dottie's" to head to the garage door. Katie has settled in at Dottie's and loves it. Thank you, Dottie!”
“Jennifer, Eric and their 2 sweet kiddos are so great with our puppy Banks! They are very attentive to his needs and are great about getting his energy out! When I dropped him off for his second day with them he was sprinting to their front door! We are very very happy with the care they provide Banks and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a dog sitter!”

“Stephen was absolutely amazing with Cosmo! From the moment they headed out, it was clear he was patient, attentive, and really understood Cosmo’s personality. He handled him confidently on the walk, kept him engaged, and made sure he was safe and happy the entire time. Cosmo came back relaxed and clearly well cared for. I truly appreciate Stephen’s professionalism and kindness he went above and beyond, and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, fantastic dog walker.”

“Andrea is an amazing dog walker! She takes such great care of my dog, Scooby, and I always feel confident knowing she’s in good hands. She is extremely reliable, responds quickly, and is clearly very attentive and caring with him. Scooby absolutely loves her, and it shows in how happy and well cared for she is after every walk. I highly recommend Andrea to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dependable dog walker!!”
“Maleny is on time, kind and polite. She was very flexible with Larry's walking schedule. Larry is a big guy (1 year old male American Akita) and she wasn't worried at all. I probably caused more problem than if I'd just gotten out of her way and let her take over. Larry loves that he has a new friend and I'm excited to see how this goes. I will definately rebook Maleny. As soon as she and Larry got outside she took control and they were off.”

“Jill was fantastic. My regular Rover person was out of town so I searched for another to watch our beloved Golden Retriever we are very protective of. I picked Jill and I was very pleased. I received pictures and updates on how she was doing and how she was getting along with the other dogs in her care. She was well taken care of and had walks and trips to the park. I would highly recommend Jill.”
“Stephen watched our dog, Oliver, for us over a long weekend. He and his wife, Connie, were great and Ollie was very happy with them. He was definitely spoiled! We received several photos from Stephen while we were away, which is always nice to see. It was so reassuring to know that he was so well taken care of. We have already booked Stephen and Connie again for our next, longer trip!”
“Another wonderful stay with Liz and her family! Our dog loves spending time at her house and there’s always other dogs for her to play with. I highly recommend Liz as she’s attentive and caring and easy to communicate with.”
“Chloe was AMAZING!! She took such great care of our dog and was wonderful to work with. She kept us updated throughout our trip and our pup loved her time with Chloe and her family!! Would highly recommend her and hope to have her watch our dog again in the future!”
“Katie was exceptional. She cared for my very young puppy for two nights when I was in a pinch. It was a huge undertaking but she remained positive despite caring for an 11 week old! Communicating with her was seamless and she provided updates complete with photos and videos. Also she picked up abs dropped off which made things so much easier on my end. So grateful!”
“Kristopher was very helpful and accommodating in setting up boarding for my dog just a few days before I needed to leave town. He put my mind at ease with leaving my pup with someone I didn’t know. I got updates and photos of my boy each day and I’m pretty sure Kristopher could make a living doing pet photography! Should I need pet sitting again, I will certainly seek out Kristopher again.”
“While we were on vacation for three weeks, Manisha took care of Dexter. It was evident that Manisha and her family are true dog lovers as they provided exceptional care for Dexter and treated him like one of their own. Dexter had a blast during his stay and felt right at home. We were kept up to date with regular updates and pictures throughout our trip, which provided us with peace of mind. It was wonderful to see how happy and content Dexter was in Manisha's care. Overall, this was the best dog boarding experience we have ever had. Manisha and her family went above and beyond in every way possible, and we will definitely be using her services again in the future. We highly recommend her to anyone in need of dog boarding services. Rest assured, your furry friend will be in the best hands possible”
“River seemed to really love staying with Amy and her family. Their yard is enormous - a HUGE bonus to us because River doesn’t always get along with other dogs at a park. River was able to get worn out in the backyard and have bonus leash walks. Amy sent updates, photos & video and communicated if she had any questions. We will definitely book with Amy again!”
“So happy to have come across Jennifer and Eric before boarding our pup. Seeing photos of him snuggling their kids and knowing he was being loved on all week gave us so much peace of mind while we were on vacation. Thank you guys so much!”
“Peter was wonderful!!! He was very thoughtful and kind. My pup can be a little shy but she loved hanging out with Peter, family and pups! Thanks Peter!!!”
“I was really uncomfortable leaving gracie with anyone, she is almost 2 and has never been left. My daughter had used Tara in the past and suggested I check Tara out as she was really pleased with her. So I did. I took Gracie to Tara she as there 6 days. Tara commented well with me, sent several pictures. Tara just makes you feel very confident your pet is in good hands. I would recommend Tara to anyone looking for a sitter for their pets. I would take Gracie back to Tara without any hesitation. I really appreciate and respect Tara.”
“Jean did a great job. She has a great yard for the dogs to run in. She was great with my dogs separation anxiety and didn't leave them alone. She also helped my anxiety with texts And photos. I'm so glad I found her. ”
“This was the first time I was away from Toby, who I rescued about 2 1/2 months ago. The stay could not have gone any better! I received a daily series of photos that made me smile! They are a caring couple who went beyond the call of duty in taking care of Toby.”
“Bonnie was great! She was easy to get a hold of, had a great space for the pups, and sent plenty of photos throughout our dogs stay. I highly recommend Bonnie, and we’ll definitely be back!”
“Leslie was absolutely fantastic! She took excellent care of our dog, Fred, providing a wonderfully caring and safe environment for him. It gave us such peace of mind to know he was in such good hands while we were away. We really enjoyed the daily updates and pictures she sent. Our dog can be quite shy around new places and people, so we were thrilled and pleased that things went so well. It was clear he was well-fed and loved. We won't hesitate to book with Leslie again!”
“Abe did an excellent job watching Kovu over the week of Christmas. We had a very thorough meet and greet beforehand where he met both of the dogs and Abe reviewed all of Kovu's needs with me. Kovu is a Husky and has a lot of energy and sass. I really appreciated the structure he keeps with all the dogs in his home, I felt very assured that Kovu would be safe and cared for. I got pictures and some videos daily, he always seemed to be having a lot of fun and getting along really well with the other pups. I'm pretty sure he was sad to leave his new pals when I came to pick him up. Great communication, excellent care, would 10/10 recommend trusting your pups with Abe! Thanks again, see you next time!”
“Ron did a wonderful job caring for our dog, Henry, and was great about administering the special eye medication our guy requires. This was the second time we’ve left Henry with Ron and both times he seemed happy and comfortable there. There’s a big back yard to sniff around in and a comfy couch for lounging. Ron’s calm demeanor really made Henry feel at home, and Henry came home happy and in great shape. We will definitely contact Ron for any future dog sitting needs!”
