“Caesar had a great stay with Nick and Vero! He had a great time playing with their pups and got lots of love! We had lots of great updates with pictures and will look forward to the next stay with them!”
“Robert is wonderful—such a kind person. We left our dog with him for three days and could not have been happier. Every morning, he sent us a message about how Cookie was doing, along with a video. He took great care of her. Thank you so much, Robert! I trust him completely and will absolutely leave Cookie with him again whenever we need to travel.”
“Carolina was great with Kobe. She made him very comfortable. She was communicated throughout the whole stay. She was awesome in providing updates and pictures. I would definitely be using her service again!”
“Highly responsive (texts back within minutes) and very knowledgeable about dog breed specifics (ex. How to keep my brachiocephalic breed safe in warm weather). Brixton had a great time and we’d happily rebook with Anely!!”
“Zachary was amazing! Norman had such a wonderful weekend and I got so many photos of him. I really appreciated that we were able to meet and greet beforehand so Norman could get to know him and his dogs, who were all sweethearts! We will totally be back!”
“Another perfect stay with Sarah. Sarah always provides lots of photos and updates everyday. She and Rex took great care of Cooper and Black. We look forward to booking with Sarah again!”
“My dog Mya had a wonderful weekend at Matthew’s! He was so accommodating and understanding of her anxieties, which is very appreciated! Communication was great, I loved getting pictures and updates of her all weekend! Would definitely recommend, and would book again!”
“Devorat is an absolute dream. She is truly the pet-parent that you want if you have to be away from your own pet. My dog Mookie stayed with Devorat for 5 days and nights on very short notice. She messaged frequently in the first 24 hours to keep us updated on how Mookie was settling in, and sent plenty of photos during the entire stay. We could tell from the photos that he was clearly comfortable in his home-away-from-home. He and Toby were great playmates in the fenced-in backyard, and he Devorat were fast friends, with plenty of couch cuddle-time. Knowing Mookie was well cared for really helped us enjoy our family trip. In addition to her care and attention to Mookie, Devorat also offered accommodation and flexibility in the drop-off and pick-up scheduling to make things as easy as possible for us as we nailed down our travel plans at the last minute. I really appreciated her communication throughout the visit, and I could tell from her updates that she was really taking time to get to know our dog, and that he was in the best possible hands. We already plan to book with Devorat again soon!”
“It was my first time using rover and I was very concerned before I met Karen, she did such a amazing job, I couldn’t be happier, everything was perfect, she also helped me out with the rover website, Hachi loved her and I was very impressed by her knowledge about dogs, thank you so much, on my next travel you will be the first person I’ll contact !!”
“This is the first time Mimi stayed with Ty and her family. Mimi seemed to settle in easily with the family. It is a bonus that she had the chance to spend time with Ty’s two children. All were kind and loving with her. I appreciated the daily updates and photos from Ty. Mimi is home sleeping on the sofa next to me. I would not hesitate to leave Mimi with Ty and her family, again.”
“Rocky had an EXCELLENT stay with Courtney and a great, fun time. Rocky is an older dog with some minor health concerns and Courtney made me feel completely comfortable. Courtney is so friendly, competent with a lovely fenced in yard for dogs. She even sent me adorable pictures throughout Rocky's stay. I was completely at ease while Rocky was there. I highly recommend Courtney!”
“Lisa took wonderful care of Barley! She sent regular updates with amazing photos and videos letting us know how he was doing. We had peace of mind knowing he was safe and so comfortable in her care.”
“Karen is very sweet and caring. She loves pups and treats them as their own. Our dog stayed with her while we were on vacation for a week and we were not worried at all. Her dog is gentile and very playful which our dog loved. They played together a lot and it was sad to take her away from him when we got home. We will definitely be rebooking!”
“Sierra is great! She was so communicative while we were out of town. She made sure our pup was well taken care of and was gentle in letting him acclimate to her house and other dogs. We’re so happy to have found her!”
“We had a wonderful stay with Keasha and her son, she kept us updated on how our pup was getting on and he seemed to settle in with them with ease. Would highly recommend!”

“Absolutely wonderful with my cat. He normally doesn’t open up to pet sitters right away because of separation anxiety but he opened up quickly with Alyssa. She took great care of my baby boy and kept me constantly updated on him”

“I was so impressed with the care and communication Bri had with us and Cat. I’m always nervous finding a new pet sitter because our cat is elderly and has medical problems but Bri was able to follow our instructions for care, tell us detailed updates, and made sure Cat wasn’t lonely while we were gone. Will be booking again!”
“Michelle is attentive and amazing! She helped me a lot and calm my anxiety with cat pictures! She's great! I will definitely request for her pet sitting services again in the future!”

“Heath did such a great job looking after Penny! Really appreciated all of the photos sent during visits, definitely helped keep my mind at ease knowing she was taken care of!”
About: Growing up next to a door trainer is no joke. It was definitely my gateway into pet sitting. With years of experience sitting all kinds of animals, I’ve never met a dog that hasn’t loved me. Reactive, old, needy, temperamental I’ve experienced it all. Reach out if you would like to set some time to meet and let me see how I can make your day a little better. As a part timer in nightlife, I work weekends at night. Luckily that frees up my week to be able to walk or sit for you! My superpower is sticking to the dogs routine, to set them up for success. Picky dog? Not a problem! If I do a longer stay; I will be sure to leave your home in better condition than I found it in.
“Once again Maryann was fantastic. She is so patient with our skidish kitty, giving her the time to become confident to come out on her own. We so appreciate the updates and pictures and know our Luma is in great hands while we are gone.”
“Noah was super easy to work with, kind, respectful, and took great care of our cat while we were away. I particularly appreciated his flexibility/abaptability, and care for the home (like brining in the mail and keeping an eye on heat level). I would feel at ease booking with him again.”
“Oxana took great care of my cat, Tater Tot! She was very communicative and reliable. We loved getting pictures of our happy boy while we were away, and we know he’ll be excited to see her again.”
“Jonathan was a lifesaver when prior a pet sitter canceled last minute, and in a way I’m happy it turned out that way! You can tell from the minute you meet him he genuinely cares for your animals like they are his own and makes every effort to show it. He even crocheted a blanket for our kitty! My husband and I never had to worry a day while we were on our vacation because we knew our cats were in great hands. We cannot begin to thank you enough!”
“Highly recommend! Sarah is very kind and compassionate and went above and beyond to make my experience of being away (after a cross country move that truly frightened my cat). She was patient and clearly very gentle with her care which eventually had my cat coming out of hiding and trusting again.”
“Jasmine was wonderful to work with! She stayed in touch with us, sending us photos and detailed notes about our cat, even going above and beyond with care during a heatwave while we were away. While we've had some very good experiences with sitters through Rover in the past, Jasmine, with her dedicated attention to communication and to our cat, was far and away the best sitter we've worked with in our area! We can't recommend her enough and hope she's available when we're next out of town.”
“Liana was an excellent caretaker. She immediately achieved my cat's trust and sent wonderful photos. Both cat and house were in excellent shape when I returned. I recommend her highly.”
“Aidan was fantastic! They took excellent care of my cats while I was away. I came home to two calm and content fur babies. I highly recommend their petsitting services!”
“Jordan took exceptional care of my cats, Sage and Oliver. She followed every instruction I left with great attention to detail and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. Her communication was consistent, clear, and thoughtful, which gave me real peace of mind. It’s obvious she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after, and I wouldn’t hesitate to trust her with Sage and Oliver again.”
“Kaitlyn was absolutely wonderful with my cats! She provided fantastic care, kept me updated with photos, and gave me total peace of mind while I was away. It’s such a relief finding someone so dependable and caring. I highly recommend her and will definitely be booking again!”
“Our doggie looked sooo happy and rested when I got back & I know that’s b/c of J’s care. We have an older elderly dog with unique medical needs. This is the sitter you want their patience and care was excellent. Looking forward to rebooking them soon very soon indeed.”
“Ellie was great with my cats and very communicative during her visits. She also took great photos for me while I was away. I’d leave them in her care again without hesitation!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Providence
“Anely is an excellent sitter very warm ,affectionate and accomodating . We were traveling through Providence and had to keep our dog Cookie with her for two days consecutively and this was our first time with her. She absolutely made sure Cookie felt at home with her and also provided him with food ,walk ,toys plays etc. Cookie usually has anxiety issues at times so we were bit picky about choosing the right kind of day boarding for him. But Anely was a perfect choice.Though she was sitting few more dogs on those days but that never became an issue for our Cookie, so needless to say she is also expert at her job. It was because of Anely that we could enjoy Newport and other attractions of RI so much without having to worry about how Cookie is doing. She also sent us hourly updates with pictures over texts. I strongly recommend Anely to all other pet parents. Thank you so much.”
“Marcy loves staying with Michelle! She always eagerly runs to the door at dropoff. Michelle is great about sending updates throughout the day as well.”
“Debby was AWESOME! My puppy was in such good hands. She’s very loving, attentive, responsive, friendly, had a lot of experience with dogs, keeps you updated with pictures, and overall genuine. My puppy had such a fun time at her place! Will definitely be booking again :)”
About: Hi! I’m a reliable pet sitter based in Providence, and animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up always being around dogs and cats—walking them, feeding them, and helping take care of their daily routines. Being with animals has always felt natural to me, not just something I do, but something I genuinely enjoy. Over the years, I’ve had different kinds of hands-on experiences that taught me a lot about animal care. I’ve cared for a cat that had a litter of kittens, helped raise and look after them, and learned what it takes to keep both mom and babies safe and comfortable. I’ve also been an animal foster caregiver, which gave me experience adjusting quickly to different personalities, routines, and needs. Because of that, I’m very comfortable with all kinds of pets—whether they’re shy, playful, older, or need a little extra attention. I understand how important it is to be patient, consistent, and to follow instructions closely so pets feel secure in their environment. My goal is always to show up calm, caring, and dependable, and to make sure every pet I look after feels safe and every owner feels at ease while they’re away. Caring for pets fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I enjoy building time into my schedule to walk, check on, and spend time with animals, and I’m flexible enough to adjust around each pet’s needs. I like being consistent, so pet care becomes a steady part of my week that I can commit to fully and responsibly. In a client’s home, I make it a priority to follow all instructions exactly as given so pets stay on their normal routine. I focus on keeping them comfortable with feeding, water, litter or walks, and giving them attention so they feel safe while their owner is away. I also make sure to respect the home and leave everything clean and organized. If pets are in my care at my home, I make sure they are in a calm, safe environment where they can relax, stay on their usual schedule, and feel comfortable and secure.
About: I grew up with black lab mixes, having at least one dog in the house all the time. I helped to raise two of the family black lab puppies through 15 years and care for the next generation, a 2 year old black lab/border collie rescue pup, teaching her to sit and lay down. I’ve cared for all kinds of dogs over the past few years, learning patience from puppies, strength from sweet old ladies, and the careful nuance that comes with leash aggressive rescues. I now have an adopted a rescue greyhound in the family. She loves new friends but is also perfectly happy cat napping wherever her bed lands. Happy to host or walk, with or without her company. I’m full time at home and so I am free to do breaks and provide limited entertainment between meetings, which are never more than 1.5h. This is the schedule I provide my own pup and would extend to others. I treat them as my own. I prefer to be over communicative with owners if any potential issues arise as well. Greyhounds react particularly poorly to negative feedback and punishment, so patience and focus on pawsitivity (particularly treats) is a standard with me.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. Whether your pet is playful, shy, or somewhere in between, I’m confident in creating a calm, loving environment that fits their needs. I work from home full-time, which means your pet will have plenty of attention throughout the day—and with a beautiful park right next door, daily walks and outdoor time are part of our regular routine. I genuinely treat every pet like my own, giving them the care, affection, and respect they deserve. Looking forward to meeting your furry family member! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I start the day with morning walks (the park next door is perfect for that), and I build in time for play, feeding, potty breaks, and snuggles throughout the day. Evenings usually include a final walk and some wind-down time. Whether it’s a short visit or overnight care, I make sure each pet gets plenty of attention and care woven into my day like they’re part of the family. In my home, I create a safe, calm, and pet-friendly space where your pet can feel comfortable and cared for. I stick to their usual routine as much as possible—walks, feeding times, play, and rest—to help them settle in easily. I live next to a park, so daily walks and outdoor time are a big part of our day. Pets have full access to cozy spaces, and I’m always nearby since I work from home.
“My pup was happy with Elba. Sent pictures and videos. Gave treats. When I picked him up I could tell that he was happy and liked her. Will be using her services again.”
“Lisa was so good with our dog, very attentive, and very clearly a pet lover! We also received many cute pictures and updates which we really appreciated. Our dog had a great time with her. Highly recommend!”
“Zachary was great and took Oakley in last-minute after my other sitter cancelled. He was very understanding of Oakley's needs and they seemed to have a great time!”
“Gunther loved hanging out at Courtney’s house with his new friend Lucy! They are great hosts. He came back exhausted and happy- we enthusiastically recommend them to anyone looking for a safe and friendly home-away-from-home for their canine companion.”
“Qualynda was amazing with our puppy. She watched her for us on very short notice and went above and beyond to care for her and keep us informed. Our girl is pretty timid and was scared at first but warmed up quickly and had a great time. She especially loved running around the big backyard! We will definitely use Qualynda again!”
“Jack is an exceptional dog care sitter who truly goes above and beyond. His accommodating nature -- of me, the dog mom with a hectic unpredictable schedule -- and my puppy has been a lifesaver and breath of fresh air. It shows he has a genuine love for dogs and it shines through in every interaction as he's taken him for many jogs and made food for him when I forgot to bring. He is natural expert and skilled at making both pets and owners feel at ease. With Jack, you can trust that your pup will receive top-notch care and plenty of affection!”
About: I've been around animals my whole life, so taking care of your pets feels pretty natural to me. Whether it's walks with dogs or playtime with cats, I genuinely enjoy spending time with them — and I'll make sure to follow whatever routines and instructions you've set up. I work remotely, so I'm home most of the day and can give your pets plenty of attention without it feeling like a juggling act. Expect regular photo updates, because I know how much it helps to see your furry friend doing well while you're away. Basically — your pet will be in good hands, and you can actually relax knowing that. Working from home and setting my own schedule means your pet isn't an afterthought squeezed between meetings — they're just part of the day, naturally. I love active, social dogs who are up for a good walk or some backyard play — that's my sweet spot. Cats are a different kind of company, and honestly I'm here for it, especially the playful ones who actually want to interact but also those that play hard to get too.
“From the moment I pulled up, I had a great feeling about leaving Caroline with Matthew. He was outside playing with his pup and the strong bond they have was obvious. While watching Caroline, Matthew sent great photos and was very communicative. Would 100% recommend for doggy daycare!”

“Emily is amazing! This was our first time using Rover, so of course we were hoping we’d find someone who was a good fit and that we felt comfortable having in our home. She was so sweet and our two dogs were so happy to meet her - in fact, I think her calming demeanor put them at ease! She was thorough, prompt, and sent adorable photos so we knew the dogs were in good hands. It was great to not have to worry about how they were doing or if they were being taken good care of. We’d hire her again in a heartbeat and plan to for the next time we need some extra help! Thanks so much Emily!”
About: I have been raising dogs with my family since middle school, starting with an Alaskan Malamute puppy that was only 30 days old when we first brought her home. I grew up alongside her and gradually took on full responsibility for her daily care. This experience helped me develop patience, attentiveness, a strong sense of responsibility, and a deep emotional bond with dogs. Now, after more than ten years of experience living with dogs, I treat every dog with the same care and affection as my own. Dogs tend to respond positively to me, and I genuinely enjoy building trust and companionship with them. Caring for dogs is not just something I do—it is something I am truly passionate about and committed to. At the moment, I primarily work remotely, and I spend most of my time with my wife. This allows me to have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability. I am able to provide pet care services at any time throughout the week, and I approach each task with full energy, attention, and genuine enthusiasm. I prioritize safety, comfort, and trust when caring for every pet. During walks and outdoor activities, I carefully monitor the surrounding environment, making sure the area is safe and watching for any harmful objects or food that could pose a risk to the pet. I also pay close attention to interactions with unfamiliar dogs and other animals, ensuring that the experience remains positive and stress-free. I carefully observe each pet’s behavior, energy level, and overall condition, including monitoring their bathroom habits as an indicator of their health. I adjust exercise intensity based on the pet’s needs and make sure they cool down properly after more active play or walks. After high-energy activities, I provide water gradually and safely rather than allowing them to drink too quickly. I also provide detailed grooming care, including gentle brushing and checking for ticks or other concerns. If necessary, I will carefully remove ticks and make sure the pet remains comfortable. Beyond basic care, I enjoy spending time with pets through play, affection, and companionship. I treat every dog with the same patience, attention, and love that I would give to my own pet.
“Oxana is amazing! Setup a meet/greet for my anxious doggy but instantly my dog loved her! She gives him so much care and love just like if my dog was her own. Couldn’t recommend anyone better than her!”
About: I've been dogsitting for friends for the past few years! I've loved dogs and would love to continue spending more time with them! Always eager to help people and make dogs feel loved! I work in ministry and have a flexible schedule. I'm not free all the time, but can be really flexible depending on the season! Always down to have a conversation to iron out details! I have only cared for pets in other people's homes. I follow whatever guidelines, instructions, or rules that pet owners give me. I want to make sure their pets are on their regular schedules and are loved!
“Susan goes about and beyond! I don’t know what I would do w/o her and my Bentley loves her. She cares for him as if Her as if he were her own dog. I’m so glad we found her.:).”
“Kenneth was an amazing dog walker for our dog! He was patient and kind to my sometimes timid dog. He was very flexible with our schedule and needs. Our dog Bear always got excited when Kenneth came for his daily walks! I would highly recommend Kenneth for any pet services.”
About: I have had a dog in the house since I was young. Most recently helped train my family German Shepherd puppy from 10 weeks! I also have experience caring for my dog when she went through a major hip replacement surgery, which required much more intensive care over the course of a few months. Do not currently have any pets (my pup is back home), but have helped take care of both dogs and cats. I am staying in the Brown University area over the summer and will be conducting research as a Master's student. My schedule is very flexible as I mostly work on a laptop. However, there will be days I have to work around experiments, so feel free to inquire! I won't be able to host your pet (sadly), but I am more than willing to visit or walk as needed! I always starts with asking: 1. Any essential things about the pet I need to know (medication, allergies, etc.) 2. Any essential things about the house? (places to keep them out of, toys, beds, where they like to hang out) 3. Food, drink, and potty schedule + locations for each. 4. Anything else you want me to be aware of? (No shoes in the house, stay out of certain rooms, don't let mud get tracked around, etc.) 5. In case there's a mess, how should I clean up? (paper towels, pads, trash bags, etc.) I always want to respect both your house and your little friend so please give me as much detail as possible!

About: Overview: I have always grown up with animals of all sorts, mainly small dogs, and now live with a cat and tortoise. I have experience with feeding, potty training, sleep training, trick training, caging, walking, bathing and grooming, cleaning up, playing, exercising, and loving each of my beloved pets. Each task is beyond worth it. If you have any questions or inquiries, please feel free to ask! My Fun Pet facts: - I have had a 14 year old Russian tortoise rescue, named crash, for 5 years now! It is named after the fact that he lives in a glass tank and sometimes forgets the glass is a wall. Also I set him free often to wander, and he's an adrenaline junky that loves to try to climb, drop, and crash into various objects and walls! - I raised salt water fish in my childhood home from lion fish to banana eels to pufferfish and idols and tangs! - My biggest dream is to have dog, cats, bunnies, ducks, and horses on my own homestead! pigs, goats, and any other animal would be fun too :) Experience (Personal, Pets, and Personality): Since moving to the city part time, my dogs and I have become very used to handling the hustle and bustle of the streets, especially Central Park. I volunteer at the Broome Animal Shelter to walk their dogs occasionally with friends. As a disabled person myself with pets who have had various issues throughout their and my life with some experience in basic healthcare, and lots of experience in first aid and crisis- any medical procedure needed to be done at home from syringes to needles to gauzes to bandaids, or even just hiding a pill in cheese- I am your guy! As a Filipino, I grew up with a very large family which includes having lots of animals around. But even in my own home, I grew up with a golden retriever, a havanese, and a poodle. Then two Havanese, and their cousin the Italian greyhound and.. another Havanese and... another poodle. I was the kid who memorized every dog breed, and wanted to visit the kennel and beg my parents for another dog. Our house was known as the place to house sit if a loved one was to go on vacation or anything. As an adult, I have lived with a cat each year that I could. Though these pets were pretty small in breed, it's actually my dream to get a dane or a similar sized and mannered big friendly giant. I spent a lot of my time at shelters, in nature camp, and at the nature center when I was a kid keeping all the animals safe. I have been that friend who pets immediately bond with when visiting someone's place for the first time. I was even such a frequent guest at the nature center, I even named one of the corn snakes "Bracelet" since she would hang around my wrist as I went to walk around the Greenberg Nature Center to greet, feed, clean, and care for the other reptiles. I have been an honorary member of the staff since I was 5 years old! I am a full time graduate student now working in Providence for 2 months. Since my work can be flexible and I'm located in the heart of the city, I can be available anytime! I have 5 repeat dog clients right now, and live with a cat and tortoise right now so I'm always surrounded by pets and happy to meet more. I will return to Binghamton August 2, and will be open again for house sitting then. When I am home in New York, I am available full weekends and holidays. I will be curious and courteous about whatever tailored needs your pet has so I can best respect and take care of your pet. For dogs- On walks, I don't just walk alongside a dog but I pay attention to their body, queues, and interests. During house visits, I'd love to keep them engaged by playing with them, keeping them active, and of course letting them rest. I am extremely well organized and I would ensure they get fed and taken out at requested times. For cats- I would make sure that they get what they need and want. From alone time to pets to cuddles to carrying. I would be on time with food, medicine, or any other duties. I would keep a good eye on your cat and ensure they get into minimal trouble, while also letting them roam and explore. For any other animals- I would just be honored to hangout with your pet, as an exotic pet owner myself. I would ensure I am well educated in the handling and care of your animal!
About: With over 10 years of hands-on pet care experience, I’ve provided long-term care and daily walks for dogs of all breeds, ages, and sizes. I’m also experienced with cats and understand the unique attention they need. I previously worked at Dog Mountain, a dog centered art gallery and off-leash haven, where I gained even more insight into canine behavior and safety. I have two dogs, that currently live in Vermont, both of which have faced serious medical issues that I’ve managed with calm, competent care. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets and I make sure to treat every animal as my own. I currently work part-time, which allows me the flexibility to offer frequent walks and attentive pet care. Being from Vermont, staying active and enjoying the outdoors is a daily priority for me, so your pets will always enjoy plenty of exercise and outdoor time. I’m primarily available for morning and afternoon walks, seven days a week. I miss my dogs and want a canine companion on my daily runs/walks! When caring for a pet in a client’s home, I prioritize their comfort and routine. I offer everything from drop-in feedings and walks to overnight stays. I’m respecting of your space and committed to keeping you pet happy, healthy, and stress free.
About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was around 12, as well as grew up around dogs. I’ve mostly done drop-ins which I’ll stay anywhere from 10-60 minutes depending on needs. I’ve taken care of dogs and cats throughout that time and many different sizes, breeds, and ages. I am currently between jobs, as I have just moved to Providence from Texas. So I have a lot of free time to spend with your pets and would love to work with you on the perfect schedule. I'm only available for drop-ins and walks currently, which I have much experience in. Safety is of the utmost importance and I will work with you to keep you, your pets, and me feeling safe and happy.
“Aidan is very responsive and willing to be flexible with timing when needed. They’re super thoughtful and asked a number of great questions about my dog's needs. Kieran was a big fan! Will definitely book with them again.”

“Robert is wonderful—such a kind person. We left our dog with him for three days and could not have been happier. Every morning, he sent us a message about how Cookie was doing, along with a video. He took great care of her. Thank you so much, Robert! I trust him completely and will absolutely leave Cookie with him again whenever we need to travel.”
“Highly responsive (texts back within minutes) and very knowledgeable about dog breed specifics (ex. How to keep my brachiocephalic breed safe in warm weather). Brixton had a great time and we’d happily rebook with Anely!!”
“Zachary was amazing! Norman had such a wonderful weekend and I got so many photos of him. I really appreciated that we were able to meet and greet beforehand so Norman could get to know him and his dogs, who were all sweethearts! We will totally be back!”
“Devorat is an absolute dream. She is truly the pet-parent that you want if you have to be away from your own pet. My dog Mookie stayed with Devorat for 5 days and nights on very short notice. She messaged frequently in the first 24 hours to keep us updated on how Mookie was settling in, and sent plenty of photos during the entire stay. We could tell from the photos that he was clearly comfortable in his home-away-from-home. He and Toby were great playmates in the fenced-in backyard, and he Devorat were fast friends, with plenty of couch cuddle-time. Knowing Mookie was well cared for really helped us enjoy our family trip. In addition to her care and attention to Mookie, Devorat also offered accommodation and flexibility in the drop-off and pick-up scheduling to make things as easy as possible for us as we nailed down our travel plans at the last minute. I really appreciated her communication throughout the visit, and I could tell from her updates that she was really taking time to get to know our dog, and that he was in the best possible hands. We already plan to book with Devorat again soon!”
“Lisa took wonderful care of Barley! She sent regular updates with amazing photos and videos letting us know how he was doing. We had peace of mind knowing he was safe and so comfortable in her care.”
“Karen is very sweet and caring. She loves pups and treats them as their own. Our dog stayed with her while we were on vacation for a week and we were not worried at all. Her dog is gentile and very playful which our dog loved. They played together a lot and it was sad to take her away from him when we got home. We will definitely be rebooking!”
“Sierra is great! She was so communicative while we were out of town. She made sure our pup was well taken care of and was gentle in letting him acclimate to her house and other dogs. We’re so happy to have found her!”
“Rafael was incredibly thoughtful and caring and communicated wonderfully well and often. Lulu had the time of her life and I felt incredibly comfortable leaving my pup in Rafael's capable hands. Highly recommend Rafael!”
“Doris was able to take on our frenchie last minute to which I was very appreciative! I could tell our dog had a wonderful time with her! The picture updates we got were awesome as well. Thank you!”
“Gilbert took great care of our black lab mix, Ember! She’s high energy and can be a lot sometimes, but Gilbert and his sweet pup Moon kept her entertained and happy! Recommend 100%!! Thank you so much Gilbert.”
“Cherylee and Steven went above and beyond for my dog Clover and I while I was away. Being a travel nurse and first time Rover user, I was super nervous about the whole process, but they were so welcoming and accommodating to all of my pups need. Cherylee even went as far as to rescue us when my car broke down on the way to our meet and greet! I have an older pup with a lot of dietary and medication needs. They had absolutely no problem keeping his schedule and made sure to send me pictures and videos daily. I will definitely be a repeat client and would recommend them to anyone looking for a quality caretaker for their fur babies! 🐶💕”
“Rebecca was a great sitter for our two dogs and cat. Usually they are anxious with new people but from the start, both our dogs were happy to be with her and warmed up to her immediately. Our cat even came out of hiding with her. Rebecca was super responsive, sent photos so we knew all animals were well, and we 100% recommend her and will use her services again!”
“Perfect! Thank you so much for taking care of Hartwell. I loved seeing pics and videos of him while I was away and never had to worry because he always looked happy! Will be leaving him with you again. 10/10”
“Pea had her first sleep over with Faith and Jay and I was so happy to see just how comfortable she was in the space. So grateful for the accommodations for this ~very~ particular dog.”
“Giovanni was very professional and he has a very loving home. His own pets are well cared for. He even has a 19 year old poodle mix! It’s a real testament to the TLC in the house that can bring a dog into his 19th year of life. Giovanni and my dog were fast friends and I look forward to working with him again soon.”
“Julia was so wonderful with our Cubbie. She clearly loves animals and sent us updates everyday on how he was doing. Super reliable and communicative and he had a great time. Thank you Julia!”
“Qulynda was great! She took such great care of our dog while we were away, and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing our pup was in good hands. I would highly recommend using Qulynda if you’re looking for someone to care for your furry one!”
