“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!!!”
“Rachel was a fantastic pet sitter for our frenchie Josie. She was so attentive, kind, understanding and thoughtful. Josie was welcomed and felt right at home immediately. I would recommend Rachel to anyone who needs exceptional care for their dog.”
“Ulku & Andrew are wonderful. Their home and yard are very pet friendly. They care for your pet. We will definitely continue to have them watch Zuzu for us.”
“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.”
“This was our first time working with Rover. We were fortunate that our Chase stayed with Michael who treated him like family. He sent photos and let us know how Chase was doing. We highly recommend Michael.”
“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.”
“Amy was amazing with my dog, Roxy!! I highly recommend using her. Roxy is an older mini goldendoodle and Amy was so accommodating and sweet with her. I got daily updates with photos. I felt so comfortable and Amy made the process super smooth. I booked her last minute and so glad I did. I highly recommend and would use her again!”
“I was very nervous to use boarding at sitter’s house where I’ve never known as a first pet owner. When I met Emelie couple days ago to board at her house, my puppy was very get along with her well behaved dogs,Andy, Lily and Emelie. Also, Emelie was very welcoming us. She has lots of experiences from puppies to old dogs. She is a truly pets lover! At the day of boarding, Emelie sent lots of pictures and messages how my puppy is doing and I could know she spent lots of time and keep an eye on my baby. Emelie has very good size fenced yard, so three dogs(her Andy and Lily, my Casey) can run around and play really good. I always have had stress what I’m going to do when my family goes away short time or vacation. I didn’t want to use pet hotel or inexperienced petsitter with poor environment. I was extremely lucky to find Emelie at the last moment. I sent message to several sitters who available on that day I needed, but all of them said that they were not available on that weekend or they don’t want to sit 5months old puppy. One of sitters never responded me. Luckily, I found Emelie at the very last moment and she was willing to have sitting my baby at her house overnight. When we picked up Casey and turned engine on, Casey kept looking her house. She seemed really enjoyed with two other friends and Emelie. I strongly recommend Emelie to everyone. I would definitely go back to her.”
“Rebecca was absolutely wonderful! I was fully confident in leaving Mousse with her after doing an initial meet and greet. It was very clear that Rebecca has a good sense of how dogs are and what they need. She was careful to point out that her stairway was sometimes a challenge for dogs and that it was important to make sure Mousse would be ok navigating them... and she'd thought out where to place the crate in her apartment so it wasn't in the sun. She sent regular check ins and Mousse was clearly having a great time in all the pictures :) In addition, Rebecca was very flexible and understanding when we were stuck in traffic and needed to delay pick up by a few hours. We hope to add Rebecca to our regular rotation of Rover sitters!”
“Very nice, great sitter, watched my dogs and despite their accidents handled everything very well. Meet and greet prior was a nice addition. Home was open and welcoming to my pups and she supplied pics throughout our trips and kept us informed when they got sick and how they were doing.”
“My dog doesn't like to be away from home, but Rhea makes her feel comfortable and takes excellent care of all her needs, also during the recent heat wave. Sage was happy and in great shape when I returned after a longer trip. While I was away, Rhea kept me up-to-date on how Sage was doing, which is very helpful for peace of mind. I will always ask Rhea when I need help with dog sitting. I highly recommend her.”
“Jennifer has been absolutely amazing with my 2yr old rescue. He’s a nervous little guy and he has done really well staying in her home. She consistently updates me with how he’s doing and pictures. She and her family have been so loving. I can’t recommend her enough.”
“Christin was great with our dog! She kept us updated throughout the say with how he was doing and you could tell how much she enjoyed being with him even with some of his quirks!”
“Enes and Stephanie were Great. My 13 month Frenchie has alot of energy and can be a handful. They Sent pictures and updates all day long for her weekend stay, we picked her up and shes exhausted. Thanks for a great Stay”
“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.”
“Allison and Kevin were amazing watching my dog Sunny for 5 nights! I was pretty nervous leaving her without family for the first time but they reassured me daily with plenty of updates and pictures and I was so happy they were loving on my baby while I was away. Truly great first time Rover experience and I would definitely book with them again!!”
“Diana was amazing with our pups. It was such a last minute need when we found out my mom had Covid and couldn’t watch our 2 dogs for Memorial Day weekend. Diana was right there. She took them in, cared for them, took pictures and asked essential questions. The pups were happy and healthy when picked up and clearly had a great weekend. We are so grateful for her and would highly recommend her to anyone.”
“Gregory was very responsive to my last minute request for boarding. My dog is little and anxious, and I was not sure how she would do with another dog as large as Koda, Gregory’s dog. But Koda turned out to be very well trained and had a lovely calm demeanor. Maya was very comfortable and I will definitely be using Gregory again!”

“We always trust Alexandra with our cats when we go out of town. It is so nice knowing they will be well taken care of and we will get a full report of what’s going on at home. Highly recommend!!”
“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!”
“Joanna was amazing. She checked in on our 3 cats during a very stressful time and gave us so much reassurance on how they were doing. She stayed overtime to ensure our one cat got her medicine and was doing okay. Couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for them.”
“Julia is very nice and personable. She was very responsible in coming on a regular basis, twice a day, to take care of my two cats and was diligent on sending photographs! I would recommend Julia. I feel like my cats were well taken care of and seemed happy when I returned.”
“Brittany was wonderful! She cared for my coco and did a great job. She even went above and beyond and was also very flexible. Will definitely re-book with her again. Highly recommended.”

“Jacob was very attentive and took great care of my cats. He gave detailed updates and lots of great photos. My cats seemed very happy and well cared for when I returned - they definitely seemed to like him as much as he says he liked them. Will definitely keep him in mind for future bookings.”
“This was my first time using Rover. And boy am I glad that I did. I found the perfect sitter.Nuzhat was highly professional sent me pictures throughout my cats nine days stay and when my trip got delayed was very helpful with letting My Sister pick my babies up. I will definitely be reaching out to her in the future thank you so much, Rover.”
“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.”
“Victoria was amazing with my 5 month old puppy, Luka. She walked him even when it was very hot outside but still made sure he got his exercise and outdoor time! She made sure to feed him and give him water, taking care of my pups wellbeing:) I will definitely be rebooking for future walks!!”
“Ali took great care of my cat while I was away for two weeks. She always sent pics and was able to problem solve when my cat knocked over her feeder. I was very nervous leaving my cat for the first time but felt at ease with Ali caring for her.”
“Briana was a wonderful sitter! She let us know how our pets were doing with regular updates and was so responsive to any messages I sent. Highly recommend!!”

“Emelie was an absolute lifesaver, taking Cody on short notice after another sitter had to cancel. Thankfully it all worked out well. She was extremely easy to connect with, kept us informed and Cody seems to have enjoyed his time w her and Violet. Thanks again Emelie. We’ll be booking again!”
“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!

We wake up 6:00am for the first walk, and a short walk every 3~5 hours. My working station is in the family room right next to dogs, so I can take care of the dogs quickly if anything happened.

“Electric & Crescent are awesome. Odin had a great time with them and their lovely cats! The communication was great, they're easy going, they sent pictures constantly on how Odin was doing and I couldn't be happier to see him enjoy playing and cuddling with them. Odie is definitely coming back! Thank you!”
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 ☺️
“I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Rhea went above and beyond to make sure my pet felt comfortable, loved, and cared for while I was away. She provided regular updates and pictures, which gave me peace of mind throughout the stay. It was clear my pet was in great hands and truly enjoyed their time. I highly recommend Rhea to anyone looking for a trustworthy, kind, and reliable sitter. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Donte was great with Blue. He really helped us out with a last-minute weekend daycare booking, and Blue was very excited to go back. We received photos and videos during his visits and we will definitely look to Donte for future daycare visits.”
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.
“Yuhan was able to care for my corgi Luna as I made a last minute daycare request. When I picked up Luna she looked so happy that she was smiling all night. That’s my biggest indicator that Yuhan cared for my fur baby as I would at home.”
“I am so lucky to have found Erica on Rover. She is amazing and my doggies absolutely had a fabulous time with her ! 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.”
About: Hi, my name is Shandara. I live in Roxborough and I have a Standard poodle named Biscotti. Biscotti and I love to go on long walks and explore the neighborhood. If you live in the area, you’ve probably seen us around! Biscotti is so adorable and we love to try fun haircuts, so he tends to attract a lot of attention. I’ve taken care of pets since I was a child. Growing up, my family had dogs, cats, bunnies, turtles, and fish. I’ve had my own dog now for 5 years and I’ve been trusted by many family members and friends to care for their pets. Having a fur baby myself, I understand the struggle and anxiety that come with needing to find the right care. We all hope for someone responsible and loving who will make our pet feel right at home. My hope is to be that person for you. My goal is to provide exceptional care so you can enjoy your time away knowing that your loved one is in good hands. I recently left my 9-5 in Investment Operations to pursue my dreams of working for myself. I’m home all day, every day of the week, so I have plenty of availability to care for your fur baby. Finding the right caretaker is an investment and you can rest assured you’re making the right decision with me! I have a small fenced in yard and one friendly dog who would be happy to keep your fur baby company. I’m happy to work with you to ensure your pet is safe & comfortable whether in your home or mine. Safety is a priority so pets are never left together unsupervised.
“Hollie was absolutely wonderful with Chacho! She watched him for three days of daycare, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment I dropped him off, I felt confident that he was in caring and capable hands. Hollie kept me updated, made sure Chacho was comfortable, and gave him plenty of opportunities to play and socialize with the other dogs. He had an amazing time and came home happy, relaxed, and completely worn out, which is always a sign of a great day for him! It’s clear that Hollie genuinely cares about the dogs she watches and treats them like her own. I truly appreciated her kindness, communication, and dedication to making sure Chacho had a fun and safe stay. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving sitter.”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and am also comfortable caring for cats. I’ve provided pet care for neighbors and have experience managing different personalities and energy levels. What sets me apart is my hands-on experience working at a veterinary hospital and a zoo, where I learned safe handling, how to recognize signs of stress or illness, and how to maintain proper care routines. I’m patient, attentive, and adaptable, and I’m especially comfortable with active dogs as well as providing gentle care for younger or more sensitive pets. I am also quite the green-thumb if you need your plants watered!🌸🪴🌼🌱🌻 My schedule is very open and flexible, which allows me to easily accommodate pet care throughout the day and week. I’m available for morning, midday, evening, and weekend visits, and I can adjust my routine to meet each pet’s specific needs, including walks, feeding times, and check-ins. I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment in my client’s home. I am very attentive and detail-oriented, and I carefully follow each pet’s routine, including feeding, walks, and any special instructions. I ensure doors, gates, and leashes are always secure and supervise pets closely during play. I pay close attention to behavior and can recognize signs of stress or illness. In a client’s home, I respect their space and keep routines consistent to help pets feel comfortable and safe.
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover and have hands-on experience caring for dogs of different ages and needs. 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!
“Briana was amazing! She was extremely responsive and took great care of our puppy for us! We will definitely ask Briana to watch Winnie again!”
About: Dogs have always been a part of my life. I regularly dog/ cat sit for my neighbors since I was 10. Sometimes I like animals more than people. I’m currently a part time student at Towson with a part time job, Monday through Thursday. I have plenty of breaks throughout the day to spend with your pet! Your pet is welcome anywhere in my apartment! Bring whatever toys/treat you want. Whatever makes them comfortable! I will love them like my own!!
About: I can definitely say I’ve grown up surrounded by animals. Throughout my life, my family has always had dogs, and at one point we had three living in our home at the same time. While I don’t currently have any pets of my own, I have plenty of experience caring for my longtime boyfriend’s dogs whenever his family is away. About three years ago, I moved in with a roommate who has a cat, which was my first real introduction to caring for cats. If I’m being honest, I fell in love with them almost instantly! While dogs will always be where I feel the most comfortable because of my lifelong experience with them, I truly enjoy spending time with both dogs and cats. I always make it a priority to make sure dogs get plenty of playtime, attention, exercise, and affection so they feel happy and comfortable while their owners are away. I am freshly graduated with my masters degree in social work. I’m currently working part time as a server while also job searching and studying for my ASWB. I serve around four to five days a week but my schedule varies weekly. Keeping your pet safe is always my top priority. I will carefully follow all instructions you provide regarding your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, medications (if needed), and any special care requirements. I will make sure doors, gates, and windows are securely closed at all times to prevent escapes and will only use leashes or harnesses as instructed during walks. I’ll also keep an eye out for anything that could be unsafe, such as foods, household items, or objects your pet shouldn’t have access to. In addition to keeping your pet physically safe, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, playtime, and affection so they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I will also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe and happy.
“Craig is great!! Always here on time and Higgins, my terrier, gets new route each time. This evening walk relieves a lot of stress for me and my husband- knowing that we can rely on Craig.”

About: Hi! I’m a local dog lover in the Bryn Mawr/Main Line area offering dog walking and in-home pet sitting. I am currently focusing on dog walking as I transition and build my business I’m transitioning into retirement, which gives me a flexible schedule and lets me focus on what I enjoy most—spending time with dogs and making sure they feel happy, safe, and cared for while you’re away or busy. I know every dog has their own personality and routine, and I take the time to get to know each one so they feel comfortable with me right away. Light check-ins, feeding, and morning potty breaks or walks for house sitting clients. ⸻ 🌤 Midday My main dog walking window in the Bryn Mawr/Main Line area. Walks are calm, unhurried, and tailored to each dog’s energy level. ⸻ 🌇 Afternoon Drop-in visits or additional walks if needed, plus companionship time for house sitting stays. ⸻ 🌙 Evening Feeding, evening walks, and making sure pets are settled and comfortable for the night. ⸻ Because I’m transitioning into retirement, I’m able to keep my schedule flexible and focus on providing consistent, attentive care without rushing. I take dogs on long walks. I do have a crate in my home, but typically if I am leaving I set up a bed and den like atmosphere in my second floor laundry room which I gate do the dog stays safe. I run an Airbnb in my third floor so while I can watch dogs in my home, in house at the dog’s home is preferable. I am extremely safety conscious and when I have dogs over I try to keep them in my sight at all times. If they love cuddling, they will get tons of cuddles from me
About: We have 4 dogs and 2 cats. We have lived with animals the entire life. We have experience with animals with medical conditions, severe anxiety and can take care of multiple furry babies. Experiences with large and small breeds. Since we have 6 pets at our house we are not able to board at this time but can totally up for staying at your place! I can also go for a walk during the day or hang out with them as needed. So, if you need a company for your furry friend, just let me know! I will adjust our care style to fit your needs, I understand that all fur babies are different and need individualized attention based on your preferences.
About: I’ve always loved animals, and loved a medium sized dog in my home growing up for about 9-10 years. Since having him I’ve pet sat for friends, family, family friends as requested. I’ve watched dogs overnight and for up to 9 or so consecutive months, and I’ve watched two cats for 3 months. I’ve helped my mom care for her pitbull puppy and her pointer. Any pet I watch I will love as if they were my own; and if I’m coming for an extended stay, I make sure the house is nice, clean, and smelling good so the owner can relax as much as possible coming home. Happy to do walks, feedings, extended stays, I’m not the most experienced in grooming but am willing to get the practice in if the trust is there. Let me know what you need and I’ll do what I can to support you and your fur baby🥰. I work a lot as an actor/performer, and am in between gigs. So my schedule is primarily dedicated to pet care outside of daily responsibilities When in my clients homes I stick to their rules with their pets. So if dogs on the bed/couch are a no, I’ll respect that. My goal is to make my clients animal as comfortable as possible. I even like seeing them sometime before the scheduled visit to see how our chemistry is, though I haven’t had had any bad visits. In my home I’ll care for them in the same fashion. Make sure they’re feed, take them for walks (if they’re walkers), cuddle and make sure they feel loved.
About: My family has had many dogs over the years in all shapes and sizes. I feel comfortable and enjoy being with all kinds of dogs and look forward to meeting yours! I am currently home from college and have a very flexible schedule. I am open to taking care of your pet both weekdays and weekends. I provide a safe, calm environment and follow your pet’s routine closely. Whether in your home or mine, I prioritize comfort, cleanliness, and constant care—with updates you can count on.
About: I’ve had so many different animals in my life I guess you could say at this point I could care for a small zoo?! From rabbits to rats, to lizards to guinea pigs, to birds to hermit crabs to the tried and true cats and dogs I’ve truly cared for and have loved them all. And while I would now consider myself a dog person (hence the boop the snoot tagline). I do have a genuine love for all animals and now wish to share my experience, expertise, love and care with the animals that sometimes need a little extra while their “hoomans” have other things they need to address. I work freelance gigs in the small business space helping with back end business admin and marketing so I can truly make my own schedule which is ideal for cat and dog sitting gigs, no?! I currently have two rescues, a Siamese cat- Edgar Allan Poe (who goes by Poe) and a who knows what dog, (probably a lab/boxer mix, we’ve yet to order a DNA test), named Lucky. Both of my guys are super chill at this point in their lives and have no issues with other animals. With Lucky we take multiple daily walks and do have a fenced in yard, tho it is small and he begs for and prefers walks so it is rarely used as the primary source of going out. (Read that as I am used to and enjoy walks)
“Kaitlin really came through for me not only this week — where she walked my dog 3x a day— but even more recently for a midday walk at the last minute. For my planned week away, my flight home was canceled and I needed her to walk the dog at night, although we hadn’t planned for that. It felt really good knowing that my dog was in good hands and that he would be able to get some exercise and relieve himself when I couldn’t be there. He gets super excited about his walks and tends to pull a lot in the beginning, until he calms down, and she was able to handle him. He also takes medicine regularly so she was really good with giving it to him in alternative ways. It’s a blessing to be able to leave your pet in the care of someone when they can’t be with you. You need to have confidence in and be comfortable with that person and Kaitlin made me feel both of those things. She is now my go-to dog walker.”

“Ulku & Andrew are wonderful. Their home and yard are very pet friendly. They care for your pet. We will definitely continue to have them watch Zuzu for us.”
“I was very nervous to use boarding at sitter’s house where I’ve never known as a first pet owner. When I met Emelie couple days ago to board at her house, my puppy was very get along with her well behaved dogs,Andy, Lily and Emelie. Also, Emelie was very welcoming us. She has lots of experiences from puppies to old dogs. She is a truly pets lover! At the day of boarding, Emelie sent lots of pictures and messages how my puppy is doing and I could know she spent lots of time and keep an eye on my baby. Emelie has very good size fenced yard, so three dogs(her Andy and Lily, my Casey) can run around and play really good. I always have had stress what I’m going to do when my family goes away short time or vacation. I didn’t want to use pet hotel or inexperienced petsitter with poor environment. I was extremely lucky to find Emelie at the last moment. I sent message to several sitters who available on that day I needed, but all of them said that they were not available on that weekend or they don’t want to sit 5months old puppy. One of sitters never responded me. Luckily, I found Emelie at the very last moment and she was willing to have sitting my baby at her house overnight. When we picked up Casey and turned engine on, Casey kept looking her house. She seemed really enjoyed with two other friends and Emelie. I strongly recommend Emelie to everyone. I would definitely go back to her.”
“Rebecca was absolutely wonderful! I was fully confident in leaving Mousse with her after doing an initial meet and greet. It was very clear that Rebecca has a good sense of how dogs are and what they need. She was careful to point out that her stairway was sometimes a challenge for dogs and that it was important to make sure Mousse would be ok navigating them... and she'd thought out where to place the crate in her apartment so it wasn't in the sun. She sent regular check ins and Mousse was clearly having a great time in all the pictures :) In addition, Rebecca was very flexible and understanding when we were stuck in traffic and needed to delay pick up by a few hours. We hope to add Rebecca to our regular rotation of Rover sitters!”
“Christin was great with our dog! She kept us updated throughout the say with how he was doing and you could tell how much she enjoyed being with him even with some of his quirks!”
“Enes and Stephanie were Great. My 13 month Frenchie has alot of energy and can be a handful. They Sent pictures and updates all day long for her weekend stay, we picked her up and shes exhausted. Thanks for a great Stay”
“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.”
“Allison and Kevin were amazing watching my dog Sunny for 5 nights! I was pretty nervous leaving her without family for the first time but they reassured me daily with plenty of updates and pictures and I was so happy they were loving on my baby while I was away. Truly great first time Rover experience and I would definitely book with them again!!”
“Gregory was very responsive to my last minute request for boarding. My dog is little and anxious, and I was not sure how she would do with another dog as large as Koda, Gregory’s dog. But Koda turned out to be very well trained and had a lovely calm demeanor. Maya was very comfortable and I will definitely be using Gregory again!”
“This was an amazing stay for our boy! They sent so many photo updates we could really enjoy our trip knowing our pup was well cared for! Would love to use this family to watch our dog again❤️”
“Donte did an excellent job looking after our two dogs and cat during the holiday weekend. The drop-off process was seamless, and he maintained good communication before, during, and for the pickup. Will definitely book again.”
“Our dog regularly stays with Brian when we travel and every visit has been wonderful. Brian keeps us updated with information and pictures and our dog comes home well taken care of and very happy. Brian is a terrific sitter and I highly recommend him.”
“You will not find a sweeter or happier home for your pup! They also had such a friendly communication style and sent so many cheerful photos while our fur baby was with them! ❤️”
“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.”
“Nicole took great care of our dog! Her children were so attentive of her, especially her daughter! Chisca seemed very comfortable and cared for, she loved their gated backyard. We definitely recommend booking with Nicole!”
“Tamikia was great and kept me in the loop with regular updates about how Dexter was doing with videos + pics. This kept me at ease and it’s clear he had a great time! 🥺🫶🏾🐾”
“Thalita goes above and beyond to make sure your dog will be comfortable at her home. She asked me a lot of questions to make sure she knew everything about my dog and his routine. She clearly loves dogs and my pup was well taken care of. Although there are always multiple dogs at her house, she is excellent at managing them all together and making sure each dog gets the individual attention he/she needs.”
“Michell is a great dogsitter!! He is very communicative and sends pictures regularly. Most importantly, our dog always comes home happy and healthy! We highly recommend using Michell for boarding!”
“Working with Dolly was great. Constant stream of updates and photos throughout the entire stay. She was able to accommodate my last minute request well. No complaints. Would recommend to others.”
