I did not have to worry about my pups comfortably or happiness because it definitely showed she loved it there. I will be using her services again! Would recommend!!!”
“Alina is a wonderful sitter. She is very responsible of taking care of my dog and also shares how he is doing and what he has done a few times a day. Ever since I had her boarding service, I always try to book her when I am out of town. 100% recommend for everyone!”
“Racky was the sweetest and friendliest young lady and she took wonderful care of my sweet baby! When my flight was canceled she didn’t even hesitate to watch her and was VERY flexible! I received photos and updates and my little girl came home very happy! I highly recommend Racky to watch your fur baby!”
“Great! Here's a review for Dawn: "I recently had the pleasure of entrusting my beloved dog Polly with Dawn, and I must say that I was thoroughly impressed with the care and attention that Dawn provided. Not only did she make sure that Polly was well-fed, hydrated, and exercised, but she also took the time to give Polly plenty of love, attention, and affection. Additionally, Dawn kept me updated on Polly's well-being throughout the entire time I was away, which gave me peace of mind and allowed me to truly enjoy my time away. Overall, I would highly recommend Dawn to anyone looking for a caring and responsible pet sitter - she truly went above and beyond to make sure that Polly was happy and healthy, and I couldn't be more grateful!"”
“Jennifer has a wonderful, safe home for dogs! She has a security gate to keep pets in the living room area so they dont escape out the front door. There is a fenced yard for frequent bathroom breaks and playtime. She has toys and an extra bed for dogs! My pup had a great time staying with Jennifer and can't wait until next time!”
“Tong has been an amazing sitter for our pets, Pisi and Gunner. She took them on regular walks, kept them engaged with fun activities, and always sent us frequent photo and video updates, which gave us so much peace of mind. Pisi even became best friends with her dog, Lu Lu, and it was clear they all had a wonderful time together. Our pets were happy, well cared for, and clearly loved being with her. We would love book Tong again and highly recommend her!”

“Leslie was wonderful with my old girl! Super friendly, communicative, and clearly knows and loves dogs. She kept me updated with lots of wonderful photos and let me know how my pup was doing. This was my first time using a pet sitter on Rover and she made the entire experience great for both myself and Winnie! Would absolutely recommend!”
“Easy peasy leaving my dog with Ryan. He communicated well, and sent videos and pictures through the stay. His dog Von is a big teddy bear and was instantly friendly with mine. I would recommend Ryan to other dog owners.”
“Radica is an amazing dog sitter who takes exceptional care of our pup every time we’re away.

About: Genuine love for pets. I naturally care for their well-being and love the affection I get from all animals. My family and I have 5 dogs of our own and recently we were adopted by our newly stray cat, Carey. We have been fostering dogs since Thanksgiving of 2017 and we have learned a lot how all pets deserve second chances and how each one of them heals at their own time. My dog walks are tailored to your pet needs, I will focus on the safety of your pet and myself during my service. You can trust that your pet will always be in loving and caring hands. Dog walking would be my primary activity next to my English classes. I will work with you to make sure that your pets needs are met in a timely manner. At home we have a fenced backyard and at my customers' homes I make sure that safety is a priority during my service. That means that I would make sure that your pet is properly secured and that is happy while we are together.
“First time using Rover and Claudia was very sweet and helpful through the whole process. When we first came to her house, we were greeted by her and her sweetest son who immediately offered Charlotte, our pug, a treat (after asking permission of course). So sweet! Your pup will definitely be loved on if staying at Claudia's house.”
“Nydia and her husband have been great with my older Jack Russel. They send regular updates and my pup is always excited to see them. I have used them for boarding 3 times and hope to continue with them.”

“Michael is amazing. He takes incredible care of our cats- feeds, loves, plays- and gets to know them all. He spotted one of our babies not acting right and got in touch with us- sent us video and a detailed description so we could get her to our vet while we were out of the country. He really went above and beyond and we are so grateful for his thoughtful and observant care. Cannot recommend him highly enough. 10/10!”
“Jennifer, Thank you for taking such good care of Possum! This was our first time to leave our kitty and you made sure he was in good shape. I appreciate your attention to detail and constant vigilance for any signs of distress. Possum was a happy healthy boy when we returned thanks to you. We will definitely call you again!”
“Noel does a great job looking after my cat. I had used Noel once before and then I moved. Noel stopped by to acquaint himself with my new place; I was happy to see my cat recognize Noel, get up from her bed and come over and rub her face against his shoes. High praise from my Calico. Appreciate the pics Noel forwards showing a happy, well cared for cat. Always feel secure knowing my cats needs are being attended to by Noel when I am out of town.”
“Dawn took EXCELLENT care of my Super Senior cat and home. I highly recommend her as she is extremely responsible, conscientious, thorough, organized, and trustworthy. I was away for over a week, and felt confident and at ease because I knew my cat was being well taken care of. My only regret is not finding Dawn sooner. She is the best pet sitter, and I will absolutely use her services in the future.”
“Heaven is great!!! My kitty always looks content when I come home. She also takes great action shots of Phoebe lol. She’s a great sitter for my baby and I don’t use any other sitter anymore after going with Heaven.”
“Andrea did an excellent job taking care of my shy kitty and my social kitty. Her communication is clear and photos and videos are great. Would definitely book again!”
“We went out on a limb and tried rover for the first time and were absolutely delighted that we got Ashley as our dog walker/ entertainer. In the process our travel plans changed, and Ashley not only accommodated but exceeded our expectations by loving our anxious rescue dog as if it was her own. She made us feel super comfortable knowing that our pup was getting the attention he deserved. She made our trip better knowing that Foster was in good hands. I would recommend her to anyone, first time or regular river users”
“Claire is great with my 3 Boston’s. In addition to this she's reliable, very responsive and sends photo updates. I definitely will ask Claire to drop in again and recommend her.”
“Deana took excellent care of my two cats while I was away. She stopped in twice a day to feed and play with them. Instead of being sad and angry when I returned, the cats were in a great mood!”
“I am so grateful to have found Courtney! My cat is 18 years old and on several medications that need to be administered twice a day. Despite having to administer the dreaded pills, Courtney managed to get my cat to bond with her! The poor girl even crawled inside of cabinets to reach my cat in her favorite hiding spots. I highly recommend anyone needing extra care and concern for their pet to put their trust in Courtney.”
“Lorena has watched our kitty on multiple occasions and has always done a great job of caring for him and sending us detailed updates. She is very responsive and friendly. Would highly recommend!”
About: I have had cats my entire life. I have never met a cat that I didn't like and that didn't like me. I know how hard it is to be away from your babies so I do everything I can to make sure your kitties are safe and happy.
“Sarah is a great sitter. She took care of my cat’s needs over the holiday break while providing updates the entire time. I definitely plan on booking her again in the future!”
About: Howdy, I'm Tori! I'm a calm and patient sitter who specializes in earning the trust of shy or anxious pets. The dog, who is now a daily regular of mine, that started my interest in providing services for more pets, started out terrified of me; she was so unsure, she wouldn't even come back inside the house for me from the backyard. I learned quickly not to push or rush her, just give her space, consistency, and a calm presence. Now she runs to greet me, wiggling and whacking everything with that happy tail like we are the bestest of friends (Anxiety meds did help but now she doesnt even need em). Most of my personal pet experience comes from having kitties, so I'm very comfortable with sensitive, independent, or slow to warm up personalities. I live in an apartment, so I am only available for drop in visits. I like to focus on keeping routines steady, creating a quiet environment, and communicating clearly with owners so you always know how your pet is doing. I love all animals, even scalies, and work hard to ensure each one feels safe, respected, and cared for. I work in education, so I have school holidays off. I can house sit so long as it is understood I will need to commute to and from your home between the hours of 6:30 AM - 4:30 PM on weekdays. On weekends I am completely open. I like to meet with you if I can the first time to see exactly how you'd like things done. I enjoy sending status photos and am always near my phone if there are any last minute details you need to get to me.
“I am so grateful to have found Emily! I am a bit of a worrier when it comes to leaving home and my pets. She allowed me to worry a little less by being there for my 2 cats. They are pretty easy to feed and water, but knowing she was playing with my 4 month old kitten and giving him some love made leaving easier. Thank you Emily!”
“Lisa was fantastic, she was able to look after our young kitten at very short notice and went absolutely above and beyond to ensure her happiness and wellbeing whilst also being extremely quick to provide updates. I've subsequently booked her again. Your pet is in great hands with Lisa.”
“This was my first time using Rover app and was very apprehensive using a pet sitter I didn’t know. Well, let me say that Cheyenne put me at ease right away. I felt my girl Sophie was in great hands. And she was. Cheyenne took excellent care of my kitty. Next time I’m planning a trip, Cheyenne is now our sitter.”
“Great drop-in experience for our two cats while out of town. Chris is a very nice lady you can trust with your home and pets while you’re away. She followed our care instructions sent pictures and tidbits of what the cats were up to. Thank you, Chris!”

About: Hi! I’m Debbie and have cared for two cocker spaniels, Duncan & Tuckie. I take great pride in making my dogs a priority in my life, including them in all that I do & treating them as members of my family! I would love to offer you my dog caring services so that you can have peace of mind that your fur baby is in loving hands! I’m available for dog walks, drop ins for feedings, boarding as well as pet sitting in my home. I do live in a condo community, and while I don’t have a fenced yard, we do have a small dog park on our property. Rest assured that your fur baby will get plenty of potty breaks and get taken on walks to get plenty of fresh air, sunshine & exercise. I work from home three days out of the week, and go into the office on Wed & Thurs. from 8a-5p. I do drive home during my lunch hour to take the doggies on a potty break. I normally give dogs free range in my home. They are allowed on the couch and bed. I can also crate them while I’m away or at night if you prefer. You will need to supply the crate. I take the doggies out for potty breaks usually every four hours.
About: I genuinely love and care for animals in general. From small to wild & Exotic. Running my own canine daycare has lifted my business off the ground to succeed at my goal. Many years of experience I’ve gained behavior knowledge, along with training to Vaccinate, medicate, and bathing all sizes. I adore my career. Overtime I’ve affiliated with many vet hospitals while majoring vet med, which is a plus for my clients during playtime accidents or general health conditions. Under parents approval are they okay to play with separate boarders. A lovely individual play is also provided. Overall, my home becomes your home once they find their spot 🫶🏽 Thank you in advanced for choosing me as your sitter. I canine sit full time while taking online classes. A mother of 1 w/ an additional business in art in the comfort of my home. Pups fit perfectly in my schedule. PSA: Any pups stay longer than a week, please schedule a 1x Spa & bath during their stay or have them bathed before their boarding schedule starts only If they have strong odors. I will not accept clients with no baths included in boarding or before they arrive. My home is my safe and care free zone where my peace and serenity is. Positive energy is mandatory. Your pet will absorb that energy. Which also comes with treats and lots of belly rubs. Including your requirements, I’m happy to include in their boarding routine.

“Coming up on a year of Junie going to Michael for regular daycare. Still wonderful! His pups are her best friends and she’s very excited to head out from home in the morning.”
“Priyanka has been watching my dog consistently 4 days a week while I am at work. I’ve never seen my dog so excited to leave the house before and yet, when I say, “do you want to go to Miss Priyanka’s house?” She goes crazy pawing at the door ready to leave! I plan to keep dropping my baby off with Priyanka every week for the foreseeable future.”
“This is my first time using this app and dog sitter for my fur baby and I’m so glad I found Jocelyn , she is so sweet and very caring, my baby is happy playing with his new friends and I feel relieved knowing he is in good hands. I will recommend her to anyone who needs a sitter .”
About: I have a mixed Jack & Pitbull, very energetic. I walk/run with her at least 2 times a day, have her breathe fresh air, watch ducks in the pond, and chase bunnies and squirrels in the backyard. I love to train and play games with dogs. They usually get potty breaks every 2-3 hours. Fresh water is always guaranteed. By the end of the day, all of them are too tired to destroy anything. Just like babies, the tired baby is a happy baby :) I am a stay home mom, with plenty of time to walk and take care the fur friends. I also love to train dogs, which is very enjoyable moment when I see the behavior got corrected. I have a fenced yard for fur friends to play in. A park is within a 10-minute walk, which I visit very often with my fur friends.
“Amauche was great with my puppy! She was always excited to get dropped off! I will definitely leave my puppy with Amauche again. Thank you so much again Amauche!”
“Burak was so fantastic with my dog! He was a wonderful communicator and sent plenty of photos and updates. He administered my dog’s medicine and went above and beyond to care my dog.”
“Hankie was very well taken care of with Nicholas and his wife and son. I received many photos of him everyday they had him for daycare and he always looked so happy and loved on which put my mind at ease while my husband and I were out of the country. They were very accommodating with my last minute request for 7 days of daycare with pickup and drop off and were also very understanding that he is still a puppy and requires extra care as he is still in training! I would definitely book with them again for any future needs. Thank you so much!”

“I had Lorena walk my two dogs when I had to be out of town for a day and a half. Communication is excellent and fast. She is punctual. She seemed to enjoy the dogs (especially the Belgian Malinois), and sent gazillions of pictures. I only interacted with her electronically, but my dad and aunt introduced her to the dogs and helped get her started with them.”

I'm also a big outdoors enthusiast, walking miles daily, so your dog will enjoy plenty of potty breaks and playtime. Beyond general care, I have experience with puppy training and providing gentle care for seniors. You can be confident your furry friend will receive personalized attention, lots of love, and feel completely safe with me. As a teacher in Houston, my evenings and weekends are typically free, allowing me dedicated time to focus on caring for your pets. This consistent availability ensures your furry friends get the attention and routine they need. Even better, with summer vacation approaching from May 23rd to August 6th, my schedule opens up completely! This means I'll have all day, every day, to shower your pets with care, go on those long walks they'll love! Whether in your home or mine, your pet's safety and well-being are my top priorities. I meticulously follow your routines, ensuring consistent feeding, potty breaks, and exercise. I create a calm, comfortable environment with access to their familiar comforts and remain attentive to their cues. My experience fostering diverse dogs has honed my ability to provide patient and adaptable care. Trust is crucial. I'm committed to open communication and treating your pets with the same love I have for my ,past and one day future ,own. If staying with me, they'll enjoy a dog-friendly home and plenty of outdoor activity (I loveee to walk!). With my flexible schedule as a teacher, especially during my summer break (May 23rd - August 6th), your pet will receive ample attention and supervision. You can be confident they are safe, secure, and well-cared for in either setting.
“Lisa is fantastic! After only one time with my dogs I think she already loves them almost as much as I do! And they her :). She is terrific - warm, responsible, caring. I don't worry even an iota when my dogs are with her.”

“Alina is a wonderful sitter. She is very responsible of taking care of my dog and also shares how he is doing and what he has done a few times a day. Ever since I had her boarding service, I always try to book her when I am out of town. 100% recommend for everyone!”
“Racky was the sweetest and friendliest young lady and she took wonderful care of my sweet baby! When my flight was canceled she didn’t even hesitate to watch her and was VERY flexible! I received photos and updates and my little girl came home very happy! I highly recommend Racky to watch your fur baby!”
“Our Bailey had a great time at Dustin's again as she did during her first stay - he takes good care of her and we know she's in good hands when we need a sitter for our girl!”
“Leslie was wonderful with my old girl! Super friendly, communicative, and clearly knows and loves dogs. She kept me updated with lots of wonderful photos and let me know how my pup was doing. This was my first time using a pet sitter on Rover and she made the entire experience great for both myself and Winnie! Would absolutely recommend!”
“The kids came home bright eyed and happy like they had been on vacation. Feel confident that they are in excellent hands with Cheryn and will definitely book again.”
“Laila was great with our dog! He was very excited to get to her house and was in great shape when we picked him up. She sent many great photos and good updates.”
“It was our first time using this app. Larry worked out beautifully. I loved getting pictures everyday and the way our dog tugged at the leash to get inside his house after the initial meeting. We are definitely using him again!”
“Emi was amazing. I got plenty of updates and pictures throughout her time with my boy. Willy had so much fun, and can’t wait to be back. I think he was even a little sad to leave when I picked him up! 😂 I’ll definitely be re booking”
“Lesly was truly a fantastic Rover for our active dog! Not only did she treat him like a king she was flexible and allowing us to extend our stay! Communicative and made sure he stayed busy with walks and trips to the dog park! Highly recommend.”
“We are so fortunate to have found Claire! She took such sweet care of our girl while we were gone and proactively provided updates and photos. Our dog is typically so nervous away from home that she doesn’t eat well, and she seems to have felt right at home with Claire. We will certainly be reaching out to her first for any future trips!”
“Calli always has the best time when she stays with Alexandra. She comes home and has to sleep all the fun off for two days. Great communicator. Sends lots of updates, photos, videos. A+!”
“Joseph did a great job. He kept their routine, send pics and videos. We appreciated his care of our 4 bulldogs - especially during lots of rain which is challenging to walk them and get their short bursts of energy out! Would definitely recommend!”
“Our dog had a great time at Mae’s! She provided regular updates and followed care instructions. It is clear that Mae loves dogs and gives them a great environment. Would use her services again”
“Mikka was amazing I’m a new dog mom and was nervous but she kept me informed with pictures and videos. I felt like he was apart of her family during my work trip so happy I found her❤️”
“Carolina was great and easy to work with. Upon first contact, it was very clear that my pups were in good hands: I have a female bichon that is person-picky, but she immediately took to Carolina. Update photos from their walk were great to see! I would recommend her for sitting.”
“Judge loves staying with Jennifer and running around the backyard! I always appreciate the updates throughout the day and flexibility when travel plans are changes.”
“Iridian was super attentive with my rescue. She made sure to do everything to keep Huey’s routine, and loved him like he was their’s. I truly appreciate her and her family for choosing to love and care for Huey. She updated me on everything, and sent plenty of photos throughout the day. I will absolutely be booking with her again!”
“Lafayette was prompt to reply from start to finish. He was compatible to my floating schedule and his home with 2 dogs was well suited for our alpha dog , Bunny! He took her for daily walks and she adapted to him very well! We will use him again if we head down to Houston again!”
“Tiffany was amazing! This was our first time to leave our 12 year old dog in someone else’s home. I felt totally confident the minute I met Tiffany. Chloe was great when I picked her up! We will definitely use Tiffany again!”
