“Breann did a great job. My dog has some sensitivities, but Breann ensured she was comfortable and safe. She asked good questions during our meet and greet, which demonstrated critical thought toward safety and adjusting her effort to each dog. Breann has other dogs, both of whom had different tolerances for play than my higher energy, large hound. She managed them together well. She provided us with frequent photo updates, and would have been available if we needed anything. I recommend booking with her.”
“Paul (and Arnel) took great care of Rosie and provided me daily updates of all their adventures! She was in great hands and he was an excellent communicator! Loved all the pictures and news of her daily life.”
“My experience with Sandy was excellent!! It was my first time boarding my dog at Sandy. She welcomed me and my dog, and we had a chat about my dog. She showed me where my dog would be going to stay and introduced other dogs. On the first day, she sent me my dog's photo and a little observation report about my dog. This was very kind of her. I did not have to worry how my dog was doing at a new place with other dogs. She seems to be very attentive and has a great awareness about dogs (e.g., how old ones act differently, eye sight, sleeping, etc.). She takes care of dogs like taking care of human babies.”
“We were nervous in leaving Louie with Kristopher, he hadn’t ever been boarded for that long! Our conversations before drop off put us at ease. Then came the photos and texts from Kris. We could tell Louie was having fun and being treated as one of the family. We won’t hesitate to call on Kris and his family the next time we plan a trip!”
“Kristen did a wonderful job watching our dog. I love that she sends daily updates and pictures. We always feel comfortable having Kristen watch our pup. Thanks Kristen!”
“Veronica was great with our two dogs. She has a calming manner and our nervous border collie when away from home appeared totally at ease in the sweet photos that she sent us. And I’m sure our husky enjoyed playing with her huskies. They all made a good pack. 😊”
“Jason is a natural when it comes to caring for dogs. Sheldon warmed up to him instantly and his communication was spot on as he was kind, thorough, and thoughtful with his responses and updates along with plenty of pictures to keep me involved with his care. Gus & Star are very sweet as well and Sheldon left with new friends. Hoomans & doggos alike! Jason is flexible as well and simply made the whole process so easy I would highly recommend him to care for your pupper! Many thanks Jason 😊”
“Our pup felt right at home at Amanda’s! She had all the toys and walks and snuggles a dog could want. And she had a blast (and got tuckered out) playing with Amanda’s dog, Ginger. Amanda is a sweet and caring dog person and we felt super safe with her caring for Duckie!”
“Tammy took excellent care of my energetic pup! She sent photos and checked in if she had a question. Our flight home was changed and so my pickup time was later than anticipated but she kindly accommodated. My dog clearly had a great time with Tammy and we hope she’s available next time we need a sitter!”
“Keelan and Sabrina were lovely! They have been my favorite pet sitters on Rover. Lots of walks, play time, cuddles, and updates of my pup. I would absolutely book with them again in the future.”
“Serena was so sweet with Chewy and sent photos of him and Nugget on there walks and playing together. Great communication and responsiveness! We would definitely book again with Serena!”
“Dahlia took great care of our dog while we were away for the weekend. She was very quick to respond to messages and sent plenty of photos throughout the day.”
“What an amazing individual and her little doggie, Zoe. Marybeth is super casual, interested, caring, and flexible. She understands pets and their importance. I loved her tree-lined neighborhood and the HUGE fenced backyard available for my little pupper to play. I've decided Marybeth's the one to trust with my little pup, Mia.”
“Amanda and Jaime took fantastic care of my dog and went above and beyond to make him comfortable. My dog is still a puppy and this was his first time away from us for an extended period of time, but the boarder did her best to ensure he felt safe and tried to ease his anxiety as much as possible. I will definitely use Amanda and Jamie for my future boarding needs!”
“Otis had another wonderful visit with Amber and her family. The moment we drove up to her home, Otis couldn’t wait to exit the car. He was thrilled to see Amber! We appreciate the exceptional care.”
“Rilo had another great stay with Hayleigh! He was so happy when we pulled up to the driveway, I could tell he is well cared for and has a lot of fun with everyone in the household during his stay! 10/10 will use again 😊”
“Noemi and her family were a perfect fit. They were thoughtful, caring and I'm pretty sure our Ella would have moved in. Ella came back happy, healthy and I could tell she had a great time. Will book again next time. Thanks Noemi (and fam)!”
“Allen was awesome! He took great care of my dog. He sent me lot of videos and pictures, and he has a giant backyard where all the dogs can frolic. Haru was tugging on his leash the next day after the meet & greet because he was so excited. Definitely recommend Allen and would have him watch my dog again!”

“Gera did a wonderful job taking care of our cat Jones. I trusted her completely, so my mind was at ease the entire time away from home. She sent lots of pictures and notes every time she visited. She did extra help by watering my flowers, feeding the birds and putting out our garbage. She even bought my cat a new toy which was so nice. I would definitely hire her again.”
“John took a late booking to stay with our three cats for the weekend, and we are so pleased that he did! John was communicative in the booking process, scheduled a meet and greet that worked well for our schedule, came prepared, took notes, and immediately spoke cat language, putting us at ease. John gave fun updates, and enjoyed snuggles with our kitties. When we came home our kitties were relaxed and happy, clearly well cared for and attended to. The house was in great shape, respected and cared for. We will call on John again!”
“Camille and Shayla were amazing with my cat, and are very lovely people. My cat is very shy towards new people, and they respected his boundaries. He came out of his shell after a few days of them stopping by. I appreciated their detailed reports.”
“Tayla was fantastic with two shy kitties! She was punctual with daily check-ins and sent updates with plenty of photos to ease my worry. Both cats were happy and well cared for. Tayla was thoughtful with her care and even suggested separate feedings to ensure Oona didn’t go hungry. We hope to rebook with Tayla for our next trip!”
“Ellen did a great job taking care of my cat, Jack! She was very attentive, detail-oriented, and communicative during the entire time I was gone. I came home to a happy and healthy kitty! Would definitely use her services again and recommend her to others!”
“So grateful for her detailed updates, pics and amazing care for our cats! We have a unique situation where HAVE to keep our cats separated at all times and she did a great job.”
“Charlie is a wonderful cat whisperer and was so scrupulous with care of our two cats. He met our cats where they were and developed good relationships with them both (purring, petting, and playing!) over just a few days. He had a mountain of instructions to wade through with special diets and keeping the indoor and outdoor cats apart and managed it all gracefully. He sent photos and videos of each drop-in, which was so kind. He even cleaned up some cat vomit on our upholstery and took our our garbage cans! It was a delight to have him over. I'll admit I'm a neurotic cat mom and I have high standards for their care, and Charlie not only met but exceeded them.”
“Raven was a great choice for our cat sitting needs! She is friendly and kind, prompt with messaging and sent photos while we were away – exactly what we were hoping for in a sitter.”
“Raphael was great! Reliable, friendly, great communication and very sweet with my cat. He came by every day for 9 days and I got a picture of the cat in his lap every time :)”
“Emma was great with my cat Newt during a couple drop-in visits while I was away. She was reliable, easy to communicate with, and sent helpful updates. I’d happily book with her again.”
“Madi was great. Her communication was prompt and professional. We were very comfortable leaving our home and cats in her care. We came home to relaxed happy cats.”
“Jessica was very communicative and took excellent care of Joni! We came back to a happy healthy kitty and would not hesitate to request Jessica again as a sitter!”
“Christopher is absolutely the best! Leaving Pax alone when we travel is always hard, but Christopher gives us such peace of mind! He’s really wonderful!”
“I’ve used Karly now three times as my cat-sitter while away to take care of my two cats, and just recently, for two weeks while out of the country. She’s great!! She makes sure my two babies are well taken care of - she’s gotten to know both of their personalities and tends to both of their needs (one’s playfulness and the other’s snuggles/pets)! She goes above and beyond and also considers me and the house while gone out of the country (by taking out the trash on trash day for example). She’s also a great communicator and I feel at ease trusting her to take care of both my cats and my home while away!”
“Angela took great care of our kitties over Christmas! She was always quick to respond, went above and beyond helping take our trash cans out for trash day, and most importantly played with and cared for our kitties - even our usually shy boy, who warmed right up to her!”
“Best sitter ever. Actually, just a great guy overall, I enjoy Chris's personality and humor. He cares about people, their pets and that thing called life. It shows. It is a pleasure to talk with him and receiving his daily photo is so entertaining. I look forward to it and the chuckle it brings.”
“Sam did a great job taking care of my two cats while I was out of town for a long trip and I came back to them in great spirits! Sam was attentive to their unique needs and personalities which gave me confidence they would be well cared for while I was gone. I would definitely book with Sam again!”

“Very impressed with the genuine care and communication from Zo. My dog Bodhi can be rather anxious, so I was rather worried about how he would do meeting Zo for the first time. I had visions of him pacing around and barking. Instead I received pictures of him totally chilled out, relaxing and napping in the sunshine Highly recommend.”
“Kris is always knowledgeable flexible and personable. He has a great love for dogs and it shows his daughter and he even play piano for the dogs..My babies are always well taken care of and I have no worries that they are always in good hands. Thank you Kris! Youre the best”
“Chris has been amazing with my dog Bailey! Sends great updates and Bailey is SO excited to see him and go on long walks. Definitely will be using Chris again!”
“Veronica took excellent care of our 13.5 year old Penny Lane. She took her on a walk with her pups and sent multiple photos throughout the day which we so appreciated. Veronica is a conscientious person who understands dog behavior. We wouldn't hesitate to ask Veronica to look after Penny Lane again in the future. Thank you, Veronica!”
“Lisa and Brian took great care of our pups, and had wonderful communication before and during care! The dogs were well supported in good hands, and we would be glad to return in the future!”
“Evita was incredible! She watched Miso while I had a 12hr shift at work, and was extremely accommodating with drop off and pick up time. She sent lots of updates and was very understanding when my nervous dog wouldn’t stop barking in the morning. 10/10 would recommend!!”
About: I have over 15 year's experience caring for cats and dogs. I am reliable and very detail oriented to ensure pets are safe and happy. I am currently on a pension, so my schedule is very open and flexible. I have reliable transportation and can be reached by cell anytime. My home is safe and welcoming for pets in my care. I am also very comfortable with dropping in your home to provide pet care.
“Amanda was so welcoming and caring while dog sitting for Q. She was knowledgeable and very capable; made sure to know what Q’s needs were. Her dog Ginger was friendly and understanding of Q being shy. Q was so well taken care of in a few days she went from being really shy to getting all excited play with Ginger. Amanda made sure Q had her walks and gave me all the updates I needed. Q started to participate in play more so I know her time with Amanda was safe, fun, and instructive! I would definitely recommend her for dog waking and dog sitting!”
“Chelsea has been awesome with my pups, and they love playing with her dogs as well. Their stay has been great. They’re tuckered out and happy every day I’ve picked them up after daycare 💞”
“Eric was great with my small puppy. He kept me informed through the day and was also very accommodating with drop off and pick up times. He spent a lot of time with my pup and he was def. tired by the end of his stay!”
“Jax says Rover needs more stars for Allen. I love being with him and my buddies there. I get to run and run and play and play, then nap and do it all again — it’s doggy heaven.”
“Serena is great! I love that whenever I leave Theo in her care, I know he’s going to get nice and tired playing with Nugget, and I appreciate the updates I get throughout the day. 10/10 definitely recommend and we will keep coming to Serena!”
“Tommy was a great sitter for our puppy pitbull, Mamba! He made sure the environment was right for a puppy, and took extra measures to ensure she had a great first day care experience. He lives and breathes the dog caretaker life, so if you want someone who will pay attention to your dog’s needs and truly care for them, Tommy is your guy!”
“Emily is the best! She took great care of my fur baby with updates and was even super patient with the nervous barking she does when meeting someone new. I really recommend her for great care, where you know there won’t be any worries. My dachshund usually doesn’t eat dinner when meeting someone new or walk well on a leash but she ate her dinner and was walking happily & even napped.”
“Margaret is the best! This was Bertie’s first time at all-day care, and it was such a positive experience. We are delighted to meet Margaret and look forward to more fun times!”
“Anastasia allowed me to relax with my husband for a day without needing to meet all of Remy's needs. This was our first stay with Anastasia, but she offered a Meet and Greet initially that put my mind at ease with regard to her family of pets, the conditions of her yard, and her willingness to answer my questions and needs. She did a great job safeguarding Remy during his day's stay, she sent me photos and an update on how he was settling in, which I greatly appreciated. I'll definitely re-book Anastasia for Remy's pet-sitting needs in the future.”
“Sequoia took great care of my 1 year old Great Pyrenees puppy, providing good communication. My pup came home happy and tired from playing with her canine pals. Will book again!”

About: I’ve had dogs and cats since I was little. I’ve had experience doing jobs dog sitting, dog walking, dog boarding, cat sitting, and cat boarding since I was 12. I love animals and animals tend to love me too! I am currently stay-at-home, looking for a remote job so I can continue looking after my pets and hopefully yours. I am flexible and available on weekends. I have occasional trips home to see my family, but other than that I don’t travel that much. Every pet has its own personality and my care tends to match that, as well as the pets needs. One of the dogs I used to walk loved having a chance to sprint in circles over and over. I tailored her walks to go to a nearby, dog-friendly, fenced in park so she could get out all her wiggles before we walked back home.
“Allyson was terrific. She was on time. My dog is tired and happy. She walked him, played with him, and made sure he had what he needed. She made it easy and I’d trust her in my house any time.”
“Kai was amazing with Wednesday and made it a lot easier for me to relax and not worry about my fur baby while I am away! They were communicative and thoughtful throughout the whole process.”
“We have repeating weekly walks set up with Eric for our puppy. Eric has been nothing less than fantastic and we feel so grateful to have him to entrust the care of our little pup to.”
“Acacia is a responsive and clear communicator. She’s been very reliable, and I trust my dog to her care. He enjoys his walks with her a lot. I would recommend Acacia to anyone looking for a dog walker or sitter!”
“Kayla has been great with my pups, they seem to really enjoy their walks with her. She is responsive, timely, and follows instructions wonderfully. I look forward to booking with her for regular walks during my work week!”
“Chris is simply the best! He does such a great job taking care of our pets and communicating with us. He is always sending pictures and updating us on anything going on. We are always so confident to leave our pets with him because we know that are in great hands! Highly recommend Chris!”
“My young dog really liked walking with Margaret. Margaret was reliable, positive and encouraging with my energetic dog, and I really appreciated the help during a time of necessary rest.”
“Caitlin did a great job letting our nervous little pup warm up to her before the walk. She communicated well with me and my partner and was very engaged in asking questions about our pup's routine and care.”
“Jason is a phenomenal caretaker. He experienced interest and care in my dog immediately which was very reassuring. Outside of the professional services that he offers he has also helped me personally as I transition into a new space and schedule and he was extremely flexible and understanding through the entire process. Excited to work with him more in the future!”
“Ursula was great! She was super quick to respond, took the time to do a meet&greet, asked great questions, and sent a lot of cute photos + a detailed report card from her walk with Cujo. Would absolutely recommend her and book with her again - thank you, Ursula!”
“Jessica was the best! Thoughtful and flexible with the scheduling, and loving and curious of my little guy Jojo. Jessica is very reliable and will also provide clear input and feedback. I strongly recommend Jessica. She's professional and on top of the details. Thanks so much Jessica.”
“I am so grateful that Karly has been walking and checking in on my senior dog, Carl these past couple months. It is such a comfort to know that she is taking care of Carl while I'm away for a long work day!”
“Jenni is great. She has helped us get our high energy dog out for walks while we are at work. She is patient with our little pup, and he always seems happy on days they walk. She always takes great pictures of our dog, and is very communicative about what is going on with our dog. Would definitely recommend her.”
“Christopher did a great job I would hire him again and again. I can tell when my dog has done a brisk walk or has had a stroll. Each time Christopher walked my dog she was tuckered out in the evening. He went above and beyond. Christopher had great communication and came on time.”
“Momo is a 95lb bundle of love. He wants to share that love with everyone he meets, and say hi to all the cats and squirrels! Angela was able to walk, and appreciate our sweet crazy dog! She even handled our dog and a loose pit bull running down the street! Angela is an amazing, awesome dog walker!”
About: Hello! I'm a very conscientious and loving pet walker/drop-in sitter who will go above and beyond to make sure your four-legged family member feels safe and loved. I've had dogs and cats my whole life (varying sizes/breeds), and have had a range of experiences with them, including handling medical conditions, training, and making sure they get enough exercise. I also used to work at a pet retail store for multiple years and have gained a wealth of experience in how best to care for pets. I would love to help give your pet some love and care while you're away! I'm happy to give couch cuddles, play time, walks, and basic needs. I look forward to taking care of your pet and giving them great care! I have a flexible remote work schedule most days, so my availability for sitting visits is pretty open! I am available for drop-in visits and walks. When visiting a pet in your home, I am very respectful of your space and focus on making sure your pet is taken care of. I check all food and water bowls, making sure they’re clean, making sure the environment is still safe how you left it, and giving them any needed enrichment like play time, cuddles, walks, etc that you’ve outlined.

I booked last minute without much time for a meet and greet, and not only did they oblige and still meet same day, they made me feel comfortable leaving my dog with them. Their dog Lilo is such a sweetheart as well! They provided updates and exercise and I knew my pup was in good hands. Thank you so much for your great care! And I'm sorry again for the late plane arrival on my return!”
“Ribsy has been going to Allison’s for the last 5 years, since he was a young pup. He has stayed with her as long as a month. Every visit has been wonderful. As we have driven up to her house, Ribsy has squealed with delight and can hardly wait to get out of the car. We get frequent photographs of his activities every visit and we know he will be well taken care of and safe in her care. Today was the last day of Ribsy’s last visit. Both Allison and I had some tears saying goodbye. I don’t know if we will ever find a more intelligent, organized, enthusiastic and loving person to care for our dog in our new location. We give Allison some credit that Ribsy is a great dog. He has grown up to be a very social and well behaved dog in part because of the many times he has visited and interacted with Allison, her dogs and her other dog guests! 10 stars would not be too many!”

“We had a wonderful experience with Madeline and highly recommend her! She took great care of our dog, Jayda, during a stressful time for our family and made the whole process so much easier. Madeline was communicative and sent regular updates with photos, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. It was clear that she took the time to get to know Jayda and made sure she felt comfortable and cared for. We’re so grateful for her kindness and would absolutely trust her again in the future! Thank you so much, Madeline!”

Couldn’t recommend her enough. We will absolutely be booking with Maggie the next time we’re out of town.”
“Abigail and her family were great hosts for my dog Baxter. She is very quick to respond, gives detailed updates, and sends pictures. Would recommend for sure!”
