Highly-rated overnight sitters - Pomeroy
“We love Grace! Our pup has stayed with her several times and although our doggie is very shy around people she doesn’t know, she is comfortable at Grace’s. Definitely will book again!”
“Anita was great with my pup!! She sent pictures and updates daily - her home is clean and she lives in such a dog friendly neighborhood for multiple walks and fun!! Definitely recommend booking with her!!”
“Alyssa did a great job taking care of Ratchet, she sent us updates and her 2 dogs got along well with ours. Our Rover.com experience was a good one thanks to Alyssa!”
“Merry & Pippin always love their stay with Megan and Vitaliy. They love the large, fenced in backyard. Merry loves that he has playmates there. Pippin loves to explore. I highly recommend!”
“Ganesh did a great job taking care of my dog Luna for over 2 weeks when I was on vacation. She's happy and looks great, unlike another dog I had that I left in a shelter a few years ago. He provided frequent updates and pictures so I didn't have to worry about her. I highly recommend him for your dog sitting needs.”
“We had such a great experience with Catherine! She was super responsive from the start and answered all our questions, which made us feel really comfortable booking with her. Chippy had the best time at her place. He got along so well with her dog and family. Catherine sent us regular updates and photos, and we came home to a happy, tired pup. She even went out of her way to drop off Chippy’s bed when we accidentally left it behind. We’d definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!”
“This was our first time using DogVacay and Lorraine. We could not have been any happier with the entire experience. From start to finish everything went very smoothly, even a change in schedule. Lorraine was just the best. We felt Scooter was in very good hands and knew he would be well taken care of. We enjoyed getting the pictures and Scooter seemed really happy. I think she enjoyed him as well. She was caring and took really good care of him and we are very happy to have her on board when we need her again. Thanks!!!!”
About: Hey there! I am a young professional with a passion for animal rescue. I have been involved in animal welfare all my life, and am currently a foster for a local rescue. I have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, temperaments, and abilities. Nothing scares me! Whether it’s a running buddy or a couch cuddle you are looking for, I can provide whatever is needed for your fur baby. Currently I am offering boarding only. I have experience with physical therapy, oral medications and injections, incontinence, and anything else for special needs pups. I am willing to do whatever it takes to make sure your babies are loved while you are away. I work hybrid, so am able to provide multiple play/potty breaks throughout the day! I have 1 office day, but can sometimes drop by at lunch. While I am gone, pups are crated or kept in separate areas to ensure everyone’s safety. Between fostering, dog sitting, and my own dog, my life revolves around animals. Your fur baby will be well loved and well cared for no matter what. I have a large fenced in yard, and a rescue dog and cat of my own. If you bring your dog over to my home, they will have free roam of the house if they’d like! I will intro them to the current pack that is living there, and find their “play group”. I understand not all dogs get along with each other (they don’t need to!) and so if needed provide separate play groups that rotate so everyone can be safe and comfortable. If your pup needs some time to adjust, my guest room is considered the “dog room” in my house. There are crates, toys, couches, blankets, and a separate decompression area should they need that. I understand dog behaviors well, and have a very adaptable home to whatever your babies may need!
“My girl came home happy and she didn't want to leave her vacation! Erica was communicative and sent a picture or video almost every day which I told her gave huge comfort to my toddler. She delivered all of Coco Chanel's meds without incidence (and even gave her bi-weekly subcutaneous shot). Thank you Erica, we will book with you again!”
“Rita took such good care of our dog. Boomer. He was spoiled and pampered the whole time! She took pictures daily and kept me updated on what they were up to. I would highly recommend Rita!”
About: I have over 12 years of experience, I’ve cared for everything from small to large dogs, puppies, cats, and even exotic reptiles. Now at 22, I continue to nurture my own pets — two dogs, two cats, and a bearded dragon. I offer loving care for your pets, including litter scooping, potty breaks, feeding, area refreshing, and bathing if necessary, along with all the essential pet care tasks to keep them happy and healthy at the comfort of you and their home! I work full time throughout the week, I am available all day most weekends including Fridays. Throughout the week I am available after 5:00 pm only. I will follow your instructions for all feedings or special diets, follow whether your fur baby is crate trained or not, and give any medications if needed. Including any other specific instructions for your fur baby. I will also make sure they feel plenty of love and feel socialized while you’re gone! We will get potty’s breaks and plenty of fresh air and sunshine! I also keep my phone close by and on ringer, I will also send plenty of pictures and videos when I visit!
“Curtis took really good care of our dog while we were away. He was really excellent with updating us with pictures and how our dog was doing. Curtis made my dog feel comfortable and at ease. If i ever need a dog sitter, Curtis will be my first choice.”
“My Bailey girl had the privilege of being loved on by Emily again last weekend. I loved getting pictures when I was away and knowing that Bailey was part of the family there. I highly recommend Emily to watch your fur-baby when you need a pet sitter!”
“Our dog Pippa was very happy to spend the weekend with Samantha! I appreciate that Samantha takes some time to introduce dogs as Pippa can sometimes be nervous. And she was okay with managing Pippa’s food obsession and counter surfing. Glad to have a new local sitter we can use!”
“Enrica was wonderful with Pippin! Pippin greeted her like she had known Enrica for years and was instantly at ease. Pippin is a rescue and has separation anxiety, but she was totally relaxed with Enrica. Enrica is an amazing dog sitter, flexible with not being able to leave my dog alone, and understanding when we had a last-minute schedule change.”
“Our dog’s stay was fantastic. It was like a vacation for him. Was very comforting to know he was in such good hands while we were away. We got updates daily with pictures and videos. Communication was great and drop off and pickup were seamless. 100% will be a repeat customer!!”

Our fence is getting repaired currently but we do have dog leads. We have a dog family neighborhood that we love to take walks in. We are prepared for crate trained and house trained pets.
“Sarah was wonderful! Easy to communicate with, quick to respond. She was so great with Rusty, I could tell when I picked Rusty up she had been loved on! Got a picture everyday. I would definitely use Sarah again!”

“Maria is wonderful! We feel so comfortable knowing she's coming in to take care of our two cats while we're away. She sends us pictures of them and lets us know how they're doing.”

About: I've been doing pet service for about a year now. I've owned two dogs since they were puppies, so I'm familiar with how each dog has its own personality. Although I have never owned a cat, I'm very fond of them. I have a part-time job (remote court reporting), so I have a lot of availability. I love both dogs and cats, and enjoy playing with them. I make sure my 6-year old Jack Russel mix, Finn, gets plenty of exercise and socialization. I take long walks in my neighborhood and enjoy taking him to the dog park.
“Kailyn took very good care of our two precious cats while we were away. She sent us LOTS of photos every day. Honestly, we’re not sure what was cuter – – the pictures of our kitties, or the fact that Kailyn took so many! Thanks, Kailyn and Rover!”
About: Ive taken care of cats when people go on vacation. Even though they are less maintenance then dogs I am very responsible at taken care of cleaning the liter box and feeding them. I’ve always had cats and dogs growing up so animals have been my passion

About: As a cat owner myself, I know every cat has their own little personality! I've cared for cats over the years and am comfortable with everything from feeding and litter box cleaning to playtime and cuddles. Whether your cat is social and playful or prefers to do their own thing, I'm happy to follow their routine and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your cat is in good hands.
“As Nichiren Shoshu Buddhists (nstny.org) we were very concerned about leaving the care of our cats to just anyone. Instantly upon meeting Alyssa we knew she was the one. Alyssa's care for our cats made it much easier for us to dedicate our time to our pilgrimage to The Head Temple at Taisekiji, Japan, always knowing the cats were in excellent hands. With every visit she sent us updates and pictures as well as reports of their temperament and condition. She played with and interacted with them which made their adjust to our return quick and easy.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Pomeroy
“Our terrier mix puppy has been going to Grace’s for a few weeks now (2x weekly for a full work day) and I can’t say enough good things! My husband and I found Grace because on the days my husband can’t come home during lunch, we didn’t want our puppy to be crated or left unattended all day. Grace and her family treat our puppy like their own dog, she becomes part of their family while she’s there. She gets tons of playtime, attention, affection. I absolutely love seeing the “report card” pictures after each day. It’s very clear my puppy is well cared for during her visits. It’s now to the point when we’re pulling up to Grace’s, our puppy gets excited because she knows where she’s at! 10/10 recommend!”

“Megan and Vitaliy are true dog lovers. They take care of my two boys as if they were their own. When my puppy wouldn’t eat, Megan hand fed him to ensure he ate for the day. I love that they can run around outside in their huge fenced in yard…. And because their dogs, Clover and Cooper are also small like my boys, they are supervised outside at all times due to the hawks in the area. My boys come home tired from playing and having so much fun. I would recommend Megan and Vitaliy to anyone for the care they provide.”
“Karen provided excellent care for my daughter’s dog Pippin! Pippin can be anxious but she was right at home with Karen and her dogs. Karen sent us lots of pictures and updates and was an overall outstanding dog sitter!”
“New favorite sitter! Our boxer can be very anxious, especially her first few times somewhere. Arfel took such wonderful care of her and shared lots of pictures and updates. Ive never felt more comfortable leaving my dog somewhere before. We did a meet and greet before to ensure the dogs all got along. They have a huge fenced in back yard and deck. Highly recommend!”

“We are new to the area and Stephen was so kind as to take us on as a new client last-minute. Jett had a couple wonderful walks complete with a game of fetch as well, and Stephen even left us a new ball to play with! Thank you so much! We will definitely schedule again soon!”

About: I've been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. Growing up with dogs, I was the kid who wanted to meet every pet I came across, and that passion has only grown into adulthood. Along with having my own two dogs and cat, I've spent years caring for the pets of friends and family, treating each one as if they were my own. I also worked as a stablehand at a local farm, where I cared for a wide variety of animals—including cats, dogs, horses, donkeys, goats, cows, and even swans. I've also volunteered with dog walking programs in the city, giving me experience with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. As a pet owner myself, I understand how nerve-wracking it can be to leave your beloved companion with someone new. That's why my goal is to provide the same love, patience, and attention that I would want for my own pets. I believe communication, reliability, and attention to detail are incredibly important when caring for animals, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet's unique personality and routine. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cozy couch cuddles, or simply sticking to their normal schedule, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. Caring for animals has always been more than a job to me—it's something I truly enjoy, and I would love to help you! Pet care fits easily into my routine! I work a typical 9–5 during the week and have some flexibility for evening visits, but I primarily focus on pet care on weekends. This allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to each pet and provide reliable, attentive care while you're away. I believe pets are happiest when they're able to stick to their normal routine, so I always do my best to follow each owner's instructions and provide care that's tailored to their pet's needs. Whether I'm stopping by for visits, going on walks, or caring for pets in a client's home, I focus on making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I'll keep up with feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, medications if needed, and of course provide plenty of attention and updates so you can have peace of mind while you're away.

About: Hi, I’m Matt! Throughout middle school and high school, I volunteered at a local animal rescue, providing care to various dogs. I’ve dog sat for a few people I know personally, providing drop in visits, overnight care and walks. Additionally, I've grown up with dogs, and we currently have three of our own who I’m with every day and love very much. I’m a college student (currently on break from classes) who works part time, so my availability is built around this. This means my week to week availability may not always look the same, but I will leave my schedule open for Rover whenever I can, ensuring I provide your dog with proper care. When caring for your dog in your home, they will always be safe and sound. For drop in visits, I will make sure to follow your dog’s normal routine to ensure their comfort. For walks, I will follow your dog’s pace, while always keeping my hand through the loop of the leash and wrapped around my wrist to keep them secure.
“My boyfriend and I were in a pinch and needed someone to take care of our dog while we were out of town for the night... we sent Alyssa a message and she responded immediately... she even came to meet our dog before her scheduled walks with him. We were so impressed by the care she provided for our little guy! She gave updates after each walk and included pictures too (because who doesn't like seeing pictures of their dog when they're not there?!) We cannot thank Alyssa and her family enough for taking such good care of a dog. We highly recommend hiring Alyssa! From the short time we met her, we had nothing but good feelings and if our dog could talk, I'm sure he would say he recommends her, too! Thanks so much again, Alyssa! You are the best!”

“Alyssa did a great job taking care of Ratchet, she sent us updates and her 2 dogs got along well with ours. Our Rover.com experience was a good one thanks to Alyssa!”
About: Hey there! I am a young professional with a passion for animal rescue. I have been involved in animal welfare all my life, and am currently a foster for a local rescue. I have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, temperaments, and abilities. Nothing scares me! Whether it’s a running buddy or a couch cuddle you are looking for, I can provide whatever is needed for your fur baby. Currently I am offering boarding only. I have experience with physical therapy, oral medications and injections, incontinence, and anything else for special needs pups. I am willing to do whatever it takes to make sure your babies are loved while you are away. I work hybrid, so am able to provide multiple play/potty breaks throughout the day! I have 1 office day, but can sometimes drop by at lunch. While I am gone, pups are crated or kept in separate areas to ensure everyone’s safety. Between fostering, dog sitting, and my own dog, my life revolves around animals. Your fur baby will be well loved and well cared for no matter what. I have a large fenced in yard, and a rescue dog and cat of my own. If you bring your dog over to my home, they will have free roam of the house if they’d like! I will intro them to the current pack that is living there, and find their “play group”. I understand not all dogs get along with each other (they don’t need to!) and so if needed provide separate play groups that rotate so everyone can be safe and comfortable. If your pup needs some time to adjust, my guest room is considered the “dog room” in my house. There are crates, toys, couches, blankets, and a separate decompression area should they need that. I understand dog behaviors well, and have a very adaptable home to whatever your babies may need!
“My girl came home happy and she didn't want to leave her vacation! Erica was communicative and sent a picture or video almost every day which I told her gave huge comfort to my toddler. She delivered all of Coco Chanel's meds without incidence (and even gave her bi-weekly subcutaneous shot). Thank you Erica, we will book with you again!”
About: I have over 12 years of experience, I’ve cared for everything from small to large dogs, puppies, cats, and even exotic reptiles. Now at 22, I continue to nurture my own pets — two dogs, two cats, and a bearded dragon. I offer loving care for your pets, including litter scooping, potty breaks, feeding, area refreshing, and bathing if necessary, along with all the essential pet care tasks to keep them happy and healthy at the comfort of you and their home! I work full time throughout the week, I am available all day most weekends including Fridays. Throughout the week I am available after 5:00 pm only. I will follow your instructions for all feedings or special diets, follow whether your fur baby is crate trained or not, and give any medications if needed. Including any other specific instructions for your fur baby. I will also make sure they feel plenty of love and feel socialized while you’re gone! We will get potty’s breaks and plenty of fresh air and sunshine! I also keep my phone close by and on ringer, I will also send plenty of pictures and videos when I visit!
“Curtis took really good care of our dog while we were away. He was really excellent with updating us with pictures and how our dog was doing. Curtis made my dog feel comfortable and at ease. If i ever need a dog sitter, Curtis will be my first choice.”
“My Bailey girl had the privilege of being loved on by Emily again last weekend. I loved getting pictures when I was away and knowing that Bailey was part of the family there. I highly recommend Emily to watch your fur-baby when you need a pet sitter!”
“Our dog Pippa was very happy to spend the weekend with Samantha! I appreciate that Samantha takes some time to introduce dogs as Pippa can sometimes be nervous. And she was okay with managing Pippa’s food obsession and counter surfing. Glad to have a new local sitter we can use!”
“Enrica was wonderful with Pippin! Pippin greeted her like she had known Enrica for years and was instantly at ease. Pippin is a rescue and has separation anxiety, but she was totally relaxed with Enrica. Enrica is an amazing dog sitter, flexible with not being able to leave my dog alone, and understanding when we had a last-minute schedule change.”
“Our dog’s stay was fantastic. It was like a vacation for him. Was very comforting to know he was in such good hands while we were away. We got updates daily with pictures and videos. Communication was great and drop off and pickup were seamless. 100% will be a repeat customer!!”

“Sarah was wonderful! Easy to communicate with, quick to respond. She was so great with Rusty, I could tell when I picked Rusty up she had been loved on! Got a picture everyday. I would definitely use Sarah again!”
“Lisa is very nice and you can tell she cares alot about dogs. It didn't take long at all for Lucy to be comfortable in her space and explore. Lisa kept me updated with lots of pictures of her playing and walking around which I loved! Lucy also came home very happy and tuckered out. Thank you, Lisa!”
“Lori was fantastic! She was able to take Colby last minute, and it worked out perfectly. Lori was so sweet and I know that Colby was lovingly cared for. She sent us pictures and stayed in touch.”
“As always, Dani and Anthony took great care of Hero while I was away. Dani sent me a picture of Hero lying in a doggy bed and he looked so happy. Dani and Anthony are my “go to“ Rover family.”
“Cassandra was very polite and professional. She appeared to be knowledgeable about dogs and asked me questions about my dog to make her feel comfortable while staying with her. She sent me pics everyday and updated me on what or how she was doing each day. I would recommend her anytime.”
“Kaylee was AMAZING! Not only did she take great care of my pup, but she was super detailed and sweet - made him Easter egg treats 🥚💕 to take home! Kept me posted with adorable pics too. Highly recommend!”
“My dog had an amazing time! Holly and her husband were great. Oscar was taken care of and was very comfortable with Holly & her place. Holly shared pictures and updates. I will definitely use Holly as my first go to for dog boarding.”
“Arfel and her husband truly took care of Bevo like he was their own. He got along great with all of their doggies and we felt so safe leaving him with them for a long weekend. We got multiple pictures and even videos while away which just proved he was in good hands. We will definitely be having puppy playdates in the future!”
