“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!”
“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!”
“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.”
“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!”
“She is a perfect!!! I have a 7yrs old small chihuahua and she usually never let other people touch her and my dog let Ms Thalita hug her kiss her too. Also she feed her perfectly and my dog had a lot enjoy with Thalita and her family. She is a best”
“Zuzu had a great stay. She was comfortable and had fun going for walks. Getting the pictures and updates was reassuring and let us know she was doing well. Zuzu loves to stay with Andrew and Uklu and will be back again soon!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
“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!”
“We left Cooper and Mason with Brian for a week. We felt comfortable leaving them from day 1. Brian was very communicative and gave us daily updates. The boys were very happy and well taken care of. I would not hesitate to use him again and highly recommend anyone who wants their dogs to be well taken care of to use Brian.”
“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!”
“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.”

“I couldn't be happier with my experience hiring Alex to take care of my cat over a long weekend, and recommend her to anyone! Being my first time away since I got Sabrina, I was a little nervous and not sure what to expect. From the moment Alex walked in for our meet and greet, I felt at ease. Sabrina ran right to her and they hit it off immediately. During my time away, Alex visited twice a day and, within moments of finishing, sent detailed summaries and photos from each visit, which were a joy to receive. She also did little extras, like clean out the food dishes and keep things neat and tidy. Alex was great with communication leading up to the visit, including clear and helpful advice on what she would need for things to go smoothly since I was new at this. I cannot recommend Alex enough, and will definitely be reaching out to her next time I go away!”
“Emma was wonderful in taking care of my two cats while we were away. She was reliable, followed through on everything she said she would do, and reached out with questions whenever needed. She kept all of the litter boxes clean and, most importantly, spent quality time playing with my cats so they had interaction and enrichment while we were gone. It gave me great peace of mind knowing they were so well cared for. I would happily book Emma again and highly recommend her!”
“You couldn't ask for a better sitter! Lev is very conscientious about care and feeding, but also truly loves cats. I feel great knowing that my little buddy has a fun, responsible friend looking over him while I'm gone. Simply the best!”
“Jacob was very kind and caring. This was my first time using rover and he was a great first experience. He kept me super updated every visit, left lengthy recaps, and took so many pictures each drop in. He made sure to update me on the status of the food, litter, water etc. Would book again.”
About: I’ve had a dog for two years now and he is my favorite thing in the world. I am good with walks and staying over to watch any type of dog or other pet. I am free most days of the week so feel free to reach out anytime! I will try to get back to you as soon as possible. I care for pets by playing with them, making sure they are properly fed, and always keeping an eye on them so nothing goes wrong
“Daphne was the perfect sitter for my cat, Raven. I thoroughly enjoyed the daily pictures she provided and she was always quick with her responses whenever I had a question. Raven was relaxed and happy when I returned - a good sign that she was well taken care of in my absence. I highly recommend Daphne and am happy I found her on Rover.”
“Marisa is the best pet sitter I have ever known. She’s accountable, sweet and a very good listener. We extended our trip and she was so accommodating. Her videos came over at the same times each morning and evening and made our trip so enjoyable because we saw how happy our cats were with Marisa.”
“Tigger and Haze were very well taken care of! You guys sent us great pictures and excellent updates!! It was a tremendous relief not to be worried about our elderly cats. They were definitely in great hands!!”
“Katelyn did a great job taking care of my 2 cats and I came home to a nice, neat home even in the kitty area. She provided me with updates and pictures every day and seemed to get along with my kitties very well! I recommend her without hesitation and would try and re-book her in the future, if needed!”
“Joana was wonderful! One of my cats needs medicine twice a day in a specific timeframe and she was prompt and very trustworthy. They were obviously well cared for when I got home. Will definitely book Joana for my next vacation!”
“Jen did a great job taking care of our fur babies! She gave us feedback at each drop in with little anecdotal comments about each cat along with photos as well! I felt that they were well cared for and never worried. We would definitely ask Jen to come spend time with our feline friends 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”
““I’m so grateful for the wonderful care Julia provided for my pets while I was away. They sent regular updates and photos, followed all feeding instructions perfectly, and really took the time to make my animals feel comfortable. I came home to happy, relaxed pets and a tidy house. I couldn’t ask for anything better!””
“Alexander is amazing! We are so thankful that he was able to watch our two cats while we were away! He always sent us updates and they never missed a meal!! Alexander's attention to detail and professional communication always put our minds at ease. We didn't have to worry at all for the entire time we were gone. Alexander is our #1 choice to be our cat sitter anytime we are away. Highly recommend!”

“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”
“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!”

She is pleasant and kind and after the first visit they got excited when they saw her for their second day. Going to work is so easy now that my guys have Erica caring for them. We are going to continue with her for as long as she will have them.”
“Martha has been so lovely! She takes amazing care of Mochi. Mochi can be a stubborn boy who refuses to go on walks and Martha handles it so well and encourages him or gives him plenty of pets! She sends cute photos of mochi and I know he is being well cared for! Martha is very genuine. Thank you so much Martha”
About: I grew up with dogs. When I was 18 I co-adopted two pitbulls who lived out their lives with me. After college, I volunteered for Monster Milers taking shelter dogs from Street Tails Animal Rescue out for runs to help them burn energy and become more adoptable. My wife and I have adopted three times. A fawn pug who lived until 9 years old, a black pug who lived until 17 years old, and a Alaskan Malamute/Husky/Amstaff mix (107lbs) that lived until he was 13 and we recently lost. I'm good with all furry friends big and small and adjust my approach based on the dogs energy. I currently have a ton of flexibility outside of my kids to help with your pups, but generally, I'm home a lot and very active so lots of room to get your pup out for long walks and exercise/stimulation. I do not have a fenced in yard, and always keep my dogs on leashes until they were absolutely ready to listen solely to my commands. I use a gentle leader that helps minimize impact on their throat and also is very effective with pulling, but can be flexible to your sitch.
“Hollie was amazing taking care of Lucy! She was so attentive and sweet with her, and kept us updated with photos throughout the day. We could tell Lucy felt very comfortable, safe, and happy with her. When we went to pick her up, Lucy was so excited and happy, and she kept giving Hollie kisses almost like she wanted to show us how much she liked her! It made us feel so good knowing she had such a great time and was so well cared for. We would absolutely bring Lucy back and highly recommend Hollie!”
“Ulku and Andrew were amazing and accommodated my last minute request. They were friendly and quick to respond. They sent me pictures of Skye and I felt safe leaving Skye at their place!”
“Emelie was great! We had a last minute change to our schedule and she was very accommodating. She also sent photos and responded to messages quickly. Recommend!”

About: Since I was young, I’ve loved animals, specifically dogs! I have always had my own dog and have watched many different dogs, large, energetic, and even puppies! I currently work from home and have my own dog, so taking care of another pet whether it be drop ins or walks, is completely doable. My schedule is very flexible and I can work from anywhere. I have a small fenced in yard and a friendly Labrador! He is super energetic so I am constantly walking him and ensuring he gets his energy out.
“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!!!”

About: About Me Hi, I’m Ann! I work from home and truly enjoy having a furry companion by my side throughout the day. I know how important it is for dogs to get daily walks and fresh air—so I make sure every pup in my care gets plenty of exercise and fun, rain or shine. Honestly, I think I enjoy our walks just as much as the dogs do! Why Choose Me? What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong passion for animals and the deep bond I’ve always shared with my own pets. I grew up surrounded by animals, which taught me to understand their needs and emotions on a deeper level. I believe every dog deserves personalized care, lots of affection, and a safe, loving environment. My Home I share my home with two friendly cats who prefer relaxing in their own space when we have visiting dogs. This helps keep the environment calm and comfortable for everyone. To make sure each guest gets the care and attention they deserve, I only board up to two dogs at a time. Your pup will enjoy a cozy home setting, plenty of personal attention, and lots of cuddles. I can’t wait to meet your dog and welcome them into our little family! ~Ann I am self employed and work full time at home ensuring that your pet will get the attention they deserve and need. They have easy access to the backyard as well. The backyard is fenced in. I have never allowed my dogs to sleep on my bed nor sofa but they have their own ottoman to stay close to me while I watch TV and the comfort of a dog bed and/ or crate. My home is peaceful ☺️

“Marisa has walked my dog Penny twice now and has been great! She cleaned up after Penny’s accident and fed her in the morning. My key was lost on the most recent walk, and Marisa was kind enough to bring my dog back to her home until I was able to come back. Appreciate the help!!”

“Alex was amazing! She lived up to our expectations and honestly exceeded them. We got daily updates and she went above and beyond to make our dog comfortable during his walks while we were away.”
“We’ll be booking Daphne again! She was able to help us out to walk our two senior dogs with short notice. She was quick to respond to messages, arrived on time for the walk, and went above and beyond walking our newer adopted dog whose leash manners are a work in progress. In the app, we got a picture and update after her drop in/walk. Our dogs were clearly in very good hands. Can’t ask for anything more than that!”

I have a 12-year-old diabetic chocolate Lab who is not just our family dog, but my best friend, so I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and giving pets extra care and attention. Caring for a senior dog with medical needs has taught me responsibility and how important routines are. I’ve also dog sat for family and friends many times. I treat every pet like they’re my own, and I want owners to feel comfortable knowing their pets are getting plenty of care, attention, and love while they’re away. I am currently unemployed, so I have a very open and flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets the time and attention they need throughout the day. Whether it’s walks, feeding schedules, playtime, bathroom breaks, or simply keeping them company, I can easily adjust my day around their needs. In my home or your home, I understand that every pet is different. So I am happy to follow any specific instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise routines, or special care needs. My main focus is making sure your furry friend feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible!

I would not hesitate to use him again and highly recommend anyone who wants their dogs to be well taken care of to use Brian.”
“I was so thankful to Allison and her daughters for taking such good care of my senior dog . My dog starts to become agitated the moment I leave him . I was so worried but I received a text and picture about an hour and a half later showing my dog relaxed and cuddling with one of her little girls❤️I received regular updates and pictures. My worries about leaving him were quickly put to rest . Allison and the girls treated him like their own. I am forever grateful. I cannot recommend Allison enough. 10 stars !!”

“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!”

“Shandara took care of my dog Freckles, as well as another dog, and her own for a few days. She did a meet and greet, sent me updates constantly, and was very professional. I would have her sit again for me.”
About: Ive had been taken care of my past dogs and current dog for almost my entire life. I also take full care of my cat. I work with cats twice a week at a rescue shelter, and I did a short period working a doggy daycare facility. I can work full time during week, during the afternoons. I will be working at my job in the morning but will be fully free in the afternoons. Weekends may vary depending when I get a request. I make sure the pet gets enough play time outside, by either walking or playing with the pet. Make sure that the environment isn’t too loud or overstimulating, especially if there is more than one animal in the house.
