“Where to begin? I’m traditionally a mess when I have to leave my little man to travel for my job. Or should I say I used to be a mess. And then Juliana entered our lives and my stress vanished. Could not have been a better experience. Spoiled our little guy while he was there and keep me in the loop with adorable photos at every step. Very grateful for Rover helping make this connection.”
“Dolly took care of our two dogs for 5 days and nights and they were SO WELL LOVED by her whole family. Well taken care of, and we received lots of photos of how much fun they were having. No hesitation to recommend Dolly!”
“Harper had a great time! Lexi sent frequent updates and took great care of Harper while we were out of town. They have a great yard and home for dogs. You can tell they give lots of love to the animals.”
“Dave is an awesome person who has you and your pets best interests. He’s watch Asher twice and took care of him while I went away. You can trust him and he will keep his word. Would recommend to anyone. Peace.”
“I hadn't left my dog Honey for so long before and am ecstatic about how well Diego and Amelia did with her! She was happy, bouncy, and bright-eyed when I picked her up. The pictures and notes they provided every day were wonderful to get along the way. I'll definitely trust them again when I travel.”
“Richard took great care of my dog and provided timely updates and pictures which was very much appreciated. Fanny has some separation anxiety but seemed right at home and comfortable with Richard, I would highly recommend!”
“We’d book again with Aimee in a heartbeat. We had an awesome experience. She watched our pup while I was recovering from surgery out of state and made everything so easy for us. Communication was effortless and prompt at every step. We arranged to have Aimee pick up our gal from a friend who had been watching her at first before having to head out of town. Pickup was seamless and made things so much easier for us and our friend. She sent us lots of updates—and a few really made us laugh. Aimee even took the time to brush her thick wooly coat after we apologized for her wild hair since her usual grooming appointment fell during the visit. When we picked up our pup, our gal was calm and happy. She also had everything packed up and ready to go when we got there, once again making it such an easy process. From the pictures she sent, it was so clear that Aimee and her husband made our dog part of their family while she was with them and that our dog had a blast.”
“Rachel was fantastic! Bean, who can be a little nervous at first, warmed up to her immediately. Rachel was very communicative and send lots of photos - it looked like they had a great weekend! Will definitely use her again!”
“Yuiko and her family are always great! We leave our little Kiwi on every trip. Took amazing care of my anxious and anti-social Chihuahua. I highly recommend Yuiko and will continue to use her services in the future!”
“Tielian took excellent care of our dog while we were out of town. We were provided with photos and updates each day during our dog’s stay, which we appreciated. We will definitely use Tielian again the next time we go out of town and need a dog sitter! Highly recommend.”
“Our dog Poncho stayed with Chonlada for a week while we were on vacation and we could not take him with us. She was very flexible and agreeable to a meet & greet beforehand. Poncho and her dog Tokie were similar in size, age, and activity level so they seemed to get along great. She has a large fenced property for the dogs to explore and run around. I got daily updates as well as pictures and videos of Poncho, which made my family and I feel better about leaving him. Chonlada and her family took great care of Poncho (spoiled him...lol) and made sure he ate his meals and slept comfortably. They also comforted him during a thunder storm, which he does not like. Chonlada even contacted me when she noticed that Poncho was licking his paws and had a small abrasion, which she treated and monitored. Thanks so much to Chonlada and her family and I would definitely recommend her for boarding and will use again when needed.”
“Amy was fantastic - we instantly felt comfortable with her husband and her (and, more importantly, so did the dog!). She was very detail oriented, sent pictures throughout Champ's short stay and made sure Champ got plenty of exercise. I also appreciated her policy not to take multiple dogs at once. We will definitely be repeating with Amy - the whole experience was great!”
“Saying "Michael" in our house is officially on the excitement word list along with treat, bone, car, outside, and dinner. Raleigh had a great time staying while we went away for a week. Michael was great at communicating and letting us know how Raleigh's day went. We would definitely book again!”
“Ben, Julie, Winter and Rosy were wonderful hosts to Sox! Thank you for taking great care of him - having that peace of mind makes traveling a whole lot easier. I know Sox had a great time!! Thank you again and I have no hesitation in recommending Ben!”
“Absolutely amazing. My little dog had the greatest time, got a lot of socializing and exercise everyday. I boarded him for a week and would absolutely do so again.”

“Amberleigh was very attentive to my cats and provided me with frequent updates throughout the day, which gave me peace of mind. She also voluntarily tidied up around my apartment including cleaning my hardwood floors and wiping surfaces. I highly recommend her!”
“Christie was amazing!! She was always sure to let me know how Faye was doing with a detailed description and gave her lots of attention. I was away for a week, and I was always comforted when Christie would send me pictures and details during her drop-in visits. Faye looked so happy! I will definitely be reaching out to Christie again. Thank you Christie!!”
“Hannah was absolutely wonderful with my cat, Koko! We needed someone the day of to watch her while my fiance and I finalized our out-of-state move, and Hannah and her boyfriend were happy to help. Koko can be a shy cat, but happily acclimated to Hannah's home. I am so happy with how everything turned out. Thank you so much!!”

“Leanne took care of our 2 sometimes hostile cats while we were away. She was very consistent with her timing. She sent lots of great pics. I’m almost positive one of the cats would consider her a friend at this point lol. She went above and beyond everyday and I would definitely rehire her.”
About: As a cat mom myself, I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s care. My goal is to make that transition feel as seamless and stress-free as possible, for both you and your pets. I follow routines closely so they don’t miss a beat while you’re away. I provide thoughtful, detail-oriented care, maintaining clean, well-kept spaces for cats, including daily litter care and proper feeding hygiene. I focus on the small details that truly make a difference, treating your home and your pets with the same level of care I would my own. My time is truly their time, whether that means playtime or simply being present for a cozy cuddle. I step in seamlessly so your pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for, and so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away. I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life, including caring for my 15-year-old Maine Coon and raising and training my young Golden Retriever since she was just 10 weeks old. I understand the patience, consistency, and attention required for pets of all ages, energy levels, and temperaments. In addition to over 10 years of pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors, I’ve worked in animal care at the children’s zoo at the Philadelphia Zoo, giving me hands-on experience with a wide range of animals and unique personalities. Like people, every pet is different. I take the time to build trust and create a safe, positive, and personalized experience, whether caring for them in your home or mine. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident, connected, and worry-free while you’re away. • Routine-based care tailored to your pet • Daily updates with photos/videos • Clean, respectful home care • Experience with high-energy and senior pets • Attentive, present, and reliable care
“Rachael was so thorough with her rover card comments that gave me peace of mind that my cat was in great hands. It truly makes a difference when you know a fellow animal lover is caring for your baby. Rachael took great pictures of my cat Jiji that also gave me comfort while being away from home for the week. I would 100% ask Rachael to watch Jiji again!!”
“Talia was great. She took great care of our cat Tuli and updated us to every day with cute photos of him. It gave us peace of my bd while we were away. Tuli loved her right away and love it ked great when we came back”
About: Ever since becoming a new mom, I’ve had the privilege of spending my days at home doing what I truly love—caring for dogs. Providing a safe, loving, home-like environment for every pup has become part of my everyday life. I treat each dog like family, making sure they receive plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and affection so they feel happy, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine because I’m home often and already caring for my own dogs. My schedule allows me to provide consistent attention, timely feedings, walks, playtime, and plenty of affection throughout the day. I enjoy maintaining routines, keeping pets comfortable, and making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for at all times. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and medication if needed. In my home, pets receive a safe, calm, and loving environment with plenty of attention. In a client’s home, I respect their space while ensuring pets feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for, just like they would with their own family.
“Victoria watched our cat Theo while we were on vacation and he was very well taken care of! Lots of pictures provided every day and she even stayed extra long some days to give him extra attention”

“Franklin had a great time at Richard’s house! Franklin is an older dog, very sweet, affectionate, and alert but low-energy, so a home setting was perfect for his disposition and needs. I’ll definitely be taking Franklin to Richard’s home again!”
“Extremely happy for having found Cody and Melissa. My pups had a great time at their house. They kept me posted with videos and pictures during the day, and they were very flexible with the pick up time. We'll be back!”
“Clarissa is extraordinary! She watched my Bambi girl. I got updates, the cutest photos and videos of Bambi having the most fun. I feel so lucky to have found her and her family for dog care. All the dogs are treated like their own, like family! She has a huge, secure fenced in yard, a doggie door where the dogs are free to go in and out as they please, and a HUGE heart for all the dogs under her care. I really can’t say enough about Clarissa and her family! When it came time to pick up Bambi, she didn’t want to leave! That says it all!!!”
“Ollie had a great time at Hannah's! She has a large fenced in yard with a tall fence. Lots of room for the dogs to run! Her pup was super sweet and welcoming of my crazy boy. My dog has been fast asleep ever since I brought him home so I know he had lots of fun during his stay. Hannah was easy to communicate with.”
“It was my first time using Rover and a pet sitter having recently adopted my dog. It was a great experience. Jay was great to work with and I felt very comfortable leaving my pet with Jay.”
“Carol is wonderful. She cares for each of her dogs, and they get real time and attention from her. She is also happy to be flexible and work around schedules. Really great! I would definitely use her again in the future.”
“Casie and her family were amazing!! Since this was my first time leaving my dog boomer with a sitter I was a little bit nervous but she immediately calmed my nerves the second I dropped him off by showing me around and asking so many questions to give him the best experience. Casie sent many updates throughout the day (pictures and videos) so that I could see that boomer was having a fun time. DEFINITELY would recommend and I will be booking again!!”

“Belle had such an amazing time! Chonlada and her fam were absolutely amazing. We are from out of state and were a little nervous to leave Belle, but Chonlada made it such a great experience and took wonderful care of our pup. She even sent Belle home with a parting gift and her daughters drew a beautiful pic of Belle! I would certainly trust Chonlada with any dog!”
“Isabella is great! She was flexible and it was instant I knew she will care for my puppy while I was out getting errands and work done! We would definitely recommend her and we will be returning customers!”
“Drew was super friendly and sent us lots of updates through the day, including photos, of our puppy. We felt very comfortable knowing our dog was in very capable hands. I’m sure he enjoyed the dog park and his 2 mile hike with Drew. We look forward to working with Drew in the future!”
“Rachel has such a warm and caring energy that I immediately felt at ease leaving my fur baby with a sitter for the first time. I hope to use Rachel as my only sitter in the future. Beautiful and clean home and she’s very knowledgeable about dogs”
“From pulling into Spencer's driveway this morning, my grand dog was so incredibly excited, she didn't even say goodbye to grandma She spent the day begging, interacting with the resident dogs who are amazing, resting and playing and just living her best life. She can't wait for the next time grandma has to go to the office”
“Enes and Stephanie took great care of my Thusnelda. They communicated well and sent lots of updates. Thusnelda also had a great time playing with their dogs. Thanks so much!”

I am American Red Cross animal first aid and CPR certified. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, from tiny Pomeranians to gentle Great Danes, as well as pets of different ages, temperaments, and care needs. Previously, I provided pet-sitting services through ........ (photos of reviews from ........ in gallery) and am excited to continue doing what I love on Rover.

About: Dogs have always been a central part of my life. Having owned my own dog and successfully trained my family's dogs, I understand the patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement required to build good habits and keep dogs happy.

About: Hi everyone! I have 2 boy golden retrievers, Bailey, 5.5 years old & my Bentley who is 10 months old! I grew up with german shepherds my whole life & knew I wanted as many dogs as I could afford. I hope one day to have all the colors of the golden rainbow. I treat my babies as if they are my human babies, they are my world. Any animal that comes in my care will be treated that way as well🐶🤎 I’m a stay at home dog mom so I am with my dogs all day everyday. My fiancé is shift work so he will be here as well I have a big fenced in yard where I play with my babies everyday. I normally take them for a walk 5 times a day, 1 mile each time. It helps us both get our steps in & spend time outside! For my cats, they like to just lay with me, or on my bed. They have toys as well!

“Christin was amazing! I was a little worried because my puppy (Kiwi) is still very timid and suspicious of strangers, but Christin was very understanding and confident, that it was clear she's worked with difficult dogs before. She kept us informed of all the progress and we know Kiwi ended up relaxing and having a great time. Totally recommended and would totally rebook. Thank you!”

“Never has our German Shorthair Pointer, Reagan, come back from a dog sitter happier than when we picked him up from a two week stay with Drew yesterday. That says it all for me. Usually when we pick him up after a week or more away from him, he is yelping and crying and can’t wait to get away from the sitter and back home. Yesterday when we picked him up, he was happy to see us, but was in no hurry to leave Drew! We got regular pictures of Reagan from Drew, so we had peace of mind during our vacation that Reagan was happy and well cared for. I would definitely recommend Drew to sit for your dogs.”
“William and Kristen are true dog people- loving, caring and sensitive to your furry family member’s needs. They were prompt in getting back to us and kept us posted with pics and fun comments. Asha seemed very “at home” in the their home when I picked her up. Thx guys for treating our pup like one of your own!!”
