“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.”
“Alexandra and family are always wonderful to my baby boy! But this time they go above and beyond! We left for a week. And unfortunately, he ran out of food. Alexandra and family cooked him homemade food, like I did with him! Just exceptional!!!”
“Carly took great care of our Sassy during our long weekend away! She sent updates and pictures! Communication was very easy and we knew our dog was in great care! Thanks so much Carly!”
“Juliana was amazing with my 5mth old mini doxie puppy. Every thing is new to him, and I was nervous about leaving him for the wkd. She has the perfect home & yard and made him so comfortable, that I picked up a calm and happy puppy. I will absolutely take him back to stay with her.”
“Dana was the best sitter we could ask for! She was super communicative and shared lots of photos. Our dog clearly had a fantastic time and we will absolutely bring him back for our next vacation!”
“He was above and beyond. My new rescue had to be left behind for the holidays and wasn’t super comfortable yet, so he had some behavioral issues and, I’m embarrassed to say, ruined some of George’s valued possessions. George was beyond kind and gracious/understanding. He sent pictures and videos of my dog playing with his and I could see that he was having a good time”
“Carismeldi watched my pup Prada from Friday to Sunday and she was great. She kept me in the loop with pics and updates throughout the day, which I really appreciated. Prada looked happy, comfortable, and totally at ease the whole time. She was easy to communicate with, super sweet, and you can tell she genuinely cares. I’d definitely book with her again and recommend her to anyone needing a solid sitter.”
“Bryce was available on short notice and remained responsive over DMs throughout our interactions. I got lots of photos and updates on Wallace during his stay. I would recommend anyone to place their pet in Bryce's cade.”
“David did a great job watching our dog. He provided us with timely updates as well. I highly recommend David war hing anyone's dog as he clearly has a lot of experience and cares about the dogs he watches.”
“This is my first time using this website. It was last minute. Zenith accepted my request. Zenith is an excellent sitter, she took great care of my princess. She keep communicating with updates. I would highly recommend her, and would certainly use her services in the future. Thank you Zenith.”
“OMG! Alyssa and Marcus were amazing!!! It was Sam's first time being away from home. I was super nervous because he can get a little anxious and I didn't know how he would adjust to being away from home. We thought about it over some time and Alyssa and Marcus were able to accomodate our plans last minute. Before the reservation was even finalized, they were so helpful and reassuring. They kept me updated throughout his stay with so many pictures and reassurances. It really put my mind at ease. Sam had such a good time with Zara, Alyssa, and Marcus...I think he was upset he had to leave! I can't imagine sending him anywhere else. I definitely weill be booking with them again.”
“Tony did a great job caring for Honey, a very energetic puppy who keeps you engaged. The video and photo updates provided us contentment that Honey was having a great time. Thank you Tony for providing an attentive and fun environment for Honey. Honey had such a great time that after she got over the excitement of being back home she crawled back in her carrier asking to visit her new friends.”
“My dog loves it here he barely wants to leave when he is with Tamikia and her family… soo glad my dog loves his sitter it makes me know that he is in a safe and happy environment…”
“Patty is godsend! She will love (and slightly spoil) your dog like it’s her very own. Patty kept us up-to-date multiple times a day with messages and photos. She cared for our dog the way we would, simply an Angel. Thank you Patty and Vin for opening your home and heart to our Sully!”
“Donte took excellent care of 2 of my dogs for 4 days. I was a little hesitant to book someone without reviews on Rover (he’s just starting in this platform) but he was very understanding, answered all my questions and I found reviews for his training services on Google. I felt even more reassured when I dropped off my dogs and saw him engaging with them in a genuine way. Donte was great at sending updates and videos of some of the training he did. I’ll definitely come back for boarding and continue training sessions.”
“Kristina does such a great job with Oli, who clearly loves hanging out at her home while we are away. Kristina sends lots of pictures of her long daily walks and playtime at home.”
About: I’ve owned and cared for cats, dogs, fish, rodents and reptiles for more than 45 years. I would be happy to share the love with your furry (or otherwise) family members too. I currently have a sheepadoodle that loves other dogs and people, so he would love to have a playmate to come and take walks and spend time with us. I currently work from home so I have plenty of freedom to spoil all the pets in my care. I do look after my 3 year old grandson sometimes so getting along with children would be an important quality if your pet should come to stay with me. I have a fenced yard and a very friendly sheepadoodle that gets along with both dogs and cats. We love to go on walks too.

“Super communicative and very sweet to talk with!! Updated daily with pictures and made effort to engage with both of my cats! My cats seemed comfortable with her and I will definitely utilize her again.”
“Rachel was super easy to book with and confirmed within minutes. We arranged to have her over beforehand to meet Lucy and see our home. This made us feel SO much more comfortable leaving our sweet girl. Rachel's check-ins while we were gone were informative and so fun to read. Our cat often hides with new faces & visitors, but Rachel's magical presence must've made Lucy know she was in good hands and not to hide. We plan to book with Rachel again and cannot recommend her enough!”
“Meghan checked in on my kitten and I am a first timer here. From start to finish, she was a pro. She sent me photos of my kitten corresponded with me and showed her love. Definitely using this again and highly recommend Meghan!”
“One of the best sitters on Rover! Always so kind and caring towards my pups! They’re absolutely obsessed with her. Always responsive and highly adaptive to whatever new needs arise with the pups. Absolute godsend!”
“Breanna has been nothing but great with our little girl, McKinley, a calico cat. Sends detailed information for each visit with pics & sometimes a video. She’s moving from our area so I’ll have to find someone else as caring as her. Highly recommend”
“Juliana was great to work with. She was very responsive, jumped in on short notice, and was really sweet with our cat. Will be a very easy decision to reach out to her again!”
“Tammy is great! Wonderful care and on schedule checks ins. Reliable and kind, fun person! We are very pleased and will be chatting with Tammy in the future for more visits to our cats. Thanks so much Tammy!”
“Paz was very responsible and timely. She showed kindness to the cats, cleaned up after them, made sure they had food and water. One of my cats needs a medicated eye-drop regularly and Paz was confident in her ability to administer the eye-drop. I would hire her again.”
“Caroline went above and beyond for us when our vacation turned tragic with the sudden illness and passing of my grandmother-in-law that required multiple changes of plans to accommodate the changing situation. She was extremely flexible when our vet informed us that she recommends daily visits rather than every two days after a behavioural checkup right before our trip. Then, there was Grandma’s situation, where Caroline quickly accommodated adding one more day, and then, as the situation progressed, went to great lengths to ensure we were covered no matter what for an additional 3 days. Not only that, but she gave Lucy plenty of love and ensured she was well taken-care-of. To top it all off, she also took the cutest photos and brought in our packages. House was super clean when we got back. We’ll definitely be using her again”
“Amy was great! She was very thorough and made sure my little guys were taken care of. I was a little nervous leaving my cats as one of them needs daily medication, but she made me feel comfortable leaving them in her hands. She went above and beyond. 100% would use her again.”
“Destinee was great and communicative throughout the entire process. My cat isn’t very friendly but she still visited each day and did what she could. I will definitely be using her again!”

She made us feel very comfortable leaving our cat in her care. We enjoyed receiving the daily updates and photos while we were away. We would definitely hire her again!”

“Julianna is so sweet! She lives my Paulie and I adore seeing Cooper and Betty Boop and meeting the other pups Juliana is caring for! The comfort of having Juliana care my pup the way she cares for her own is awesome!!”
“I had a wonderful experience with Saya and David while they cared for my miniature dachshund, Astro, for 3 days of daycare. Even before meeting him, they took the time to ask thoughtful questions to make sure they understood his routine, personality, and needs. Throughout his stay, they were incredibly communicative, sending photos and videos that gave me peace of mind and showed just how much fun he was having. It was clear that Astro received plenty of attention, affection, and excellent care (by the second morning, he ran right into their house because he was so excited to see them again)! They were also very flexible and accommodating with drop-off and pick-up times, which made everything convenient around my work schedule. I truly felt that Astro was treated like part of their family. I highly recommend Saya and David to anyone looking for caring and reliable dog sitters, and I will absolutely be booking with them again!”

About: My first memory was reaching out to pet the family dog and by the age of 8 I was the main care taker and trainer of our family pets (Sheltie, Poodle, Akita, Bearded Dragon). By 14 began pet sitting ranging from puppies at 8 months to senior dogs at 17 years old. I have cared for many of my neighbors pets that includes cats, hedgehogs, and hamsters. As I got older, I became braver and currently have two snakes. I am home full time and typically start my day with a morning walk which is always more appreciated with a four legged friend or two. In my care I offer daily updates and photos. For check-ins I typically stay for an hour to ensure the pets are well taken care of as well as provide extra walks or play time for the more energetic.

Because of that, I'm comfortable handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments, including those who pull on leash, are high energy, reactive, nervous, or still learning their manners.

“Bree has been great with Mochi! She is on time, communicative, and patient- learning to use Mochi's e-collar and dominant dog collar. She is also understanding of my anxiety around Mo's selective aggression in our extremely dog-friendly apartment complex. She is super vigilant about other dogs, and attentive to environmental risks on walks. Her attentiveness puts me at ease, and I would recommend her without reservation.”

“Carly took great care of our Sassy during our long weekend away! She sent updates and pictures! Communication was very easy and we knew our dog was in great care! Thanks so much Carly!”
“Juliana was amazing with my 5mth old mini doxie puppy. Every thing is new to him, and I was nervous about leaving him for the wkd. She has the perfect home & yard and made him so comfortable, that I picked up a calm and happy puppy. I will absolutely take him back to stay with her.”
“He was above and beyond. My new rescue had to be left behind for the holidays and wasn’t super comfortable yet, so he had some behavioral issues and, I’m embarrassed to say, ruined some of George’s valued possessions. George was beyond kind and gracious/understanding. He sent pictures and videos of my dog playing with his and I could see that he was having a good time”
“Carismeldi watched my pup Prada from Friday to Sunday and she was great. She kept me in the loop with pics and updates throughout the day, which I really appreciated. Prada looked happy, comfortable, and totally at ease the whole time. She was easy to communicate with, super sweet, and you can tell she genuinely cares. I’d definitely book with her again and recommend her to anyone needing a solid sitter.”
“Bryce was available on short notice and remained responsive over DMs throughout our interactions. I got lots of photos and updates on Wallace during his stay. I would recommend anyone to place their pet in Bryce's cade.”
“David did a great job watching our dog. He provided us with timely updates as well. I highly recommend David war hing anyone's dog as he clearly has a lot of experience and cares about the dogs he watches.”
“OMG! Alyssa and Marcus were amazing!!! It was Sam's first time being away from home. I was super nervous because he can get a little anxious and I didn't know how he would adjust to being away from home. We thought about it over some time and Alyssa and Marcus were able to accomodate our plans last minute. Before the reservation was even finalized, they were so helpful and reassuring. They kept me updated throughout his stay with so many pictures and reassurances. It really put my mind at ease. Sam had such a good time with Zara, Alyssa, and Marcus...I think he was upset he had to leave! I can't imagine sending him anywhere else. I definitely weill be booking with them again.”
“My dog loves it here he barely wants to leave when he is with Tamikia and her family… soo glad my dog loves his sitter it makes me know that he is in a safe and happy environment…”
“Donte took excellent care of 2 of my dogs for 4 days. I was a little hesitant to book someone without reviews on Rover (he’s just starting in this platform) but he was very understanding, answered all my questions and I found reviews for his training services on Google. I felt even more reassured when I dropped off my dogs and saw him engaging with them in a genuine way. Donte was great at sending updates and videos of some of the training he did. I’ll definitely come back for boarding and continue training sessions.”
About: I’ve owned and cared for cats, dogs, fish, rodents and reptiles for more than 45 years. I would be happy to share the love with your furry (or otherwise) family members too. I currently have a sheepadoodle that loves other dogs and people, so he would love to have a playmate to come and take walks and spend time with us. I currently work from home so I have plenty of freedom to spoil all the pets in my care. I do look after my 3 year old grandson sometimes so getting along with children would be an important quality if your pet should come to stay with me. I have a fenced yard and a very friendly sheepadoodle that gets along with both dogs and cats. We love to go on walks too.
“Tim is great! Caring, attentive, and all-around an awesome human being. Was communicative and flexible. Would definitely board any dog with him again in a heartbeat.”
“Brian was absolutely PHENOMENAL. He sent daily updates and pictures of our girls, not to mention he has 2 beautiful golden retrievers himself. I could not recommend Brian enough and will absolutely be using him as our default watcher moving forward!!! 5/5”
“I can’t begin to describe what a pleasant experience this was all around. My partner and I have had the same Rover doggy-god-mother for about 2.5 years and she recently moved to NYC and we were desperate and scared to find a loving caretaker for our pups. Sarah and Anthony are the definition of doggy heaven! We were so anxious and they were willing to do a meet and greet with us two weeks before the scheduled overnight stay! It was an instant click! Their apartment is beautiful and the yard is a godsend! During the actual stay Sarah was amazing with updates and pictures that really helped to ease our anxiety. The at the end of the stay, when we thought it couldn’t get better, they came home with a letter from the pups detailing their visit and their experience! Wow! Beyond impressed with Sarah and Anthony! Bambina and Bruno will be back very very Soon! Thanks for existing you lovely ”humans” as the dogs call ya on the letter (haha!)”
“I couldn't have chosen better sitters than Emma and Collin. It was my anxious 7 year old dog's first time being boarded. She was nervous at first,but, Emma and Collin k ew how to make her comfortable and she ended up really enjoying her stay and the other dogs. So thankful I found these two!!”
“All the hype about Dante is true! He’s communicative, accommodating, and really great energy. He asks a lot of questions to ensure my Kado was well taken care of. Dante is someone who truly loves what he does and that makes me happy. I think Kado and I found a permanent sitter until Dante retires us lol”
“We can’t thank you all enough for taking such good care of Candy❤️ And for being so understanding of our circumstances It is a huge weight off our hearts to know candy has a home away from home in the future Thanks again Francine, Heidi and all”
“Our black lab stayed with Mitchell for 6 days during the holiday. Michell took great care of our dog who is very energetic and sometimes a troublemaker. Michell sent us daily updates, photos, and sometimes videos. We are very happy with the care. Will be back!”
