“Matthew took great care of our dog! He regularly sent pictures and our pup came home exhausted from all the yard/park play. Will definitely book again with him next time we go away.”
“Thank you, Rae! No worries with leaving Seymour with Rae at all. We came home to a very happy, well cared for pup. Seymour loves Rae! Will definitely book with her again if needed.”
“Elizabeth was FANTASTIC! She was so thorough in understanding Hudson’s needs, sent tons of picture and video updates, and kept him entertained all weekend. She even flexed with our schedule to make sure he was taken care of no matter when our travel plans shifted due to all the uncertainty in the area. 10/10 would book her again and again!”
“Kelly was so wonderful with dog sitting Jayke. She was patient, kind, and chill which is what I needed for my anxious lil shih tzu. She sent pictures without me even having to ask and was very nice and professional. I will definitely book again. Thank you so much!”
“Julie is without a doubt the very best. Her kindness, care and understanding of Mojo’s needs was 2nd to none. My dog is now a 6 year old Havadoodle with significant separation issues. He took to Julie immediately on our first meet up and was happy to spend the week with her during my travels. I am so grateful for her many updates throughout each day, with photos that proved Mojo was happy to be in her care. If there was a 10 star review permitted, I would happily give Julie this rating without hesitation. Except for of course the dates that Mojo needs her !”
“I appreciated that Shane sent me multiple updates with photos throughout the day. My pooch seemed to have a great time and was well cared for which gave me peace of mind during my trip. Shane and his wife are super friendly and clearly love animals.”
“Pat was wonderful. Lots of photos and updates. Great communication and willingness to take Rhea on short notice. She had the best time, her backyard was a playground for Rhea to explore and her pup mojo and Rhea became best friends.”
“Megan is an absolute dream of a dog caretaker. She is an honest & trustworthy person, is good with dogs and you can tell she genuinely adores them. She was helpful to give Bubba (our dog) his ear medication while we were away and each day updated us with their activities. I had no concerns during his stay— in fact— I think he had the time of his life 😁”
“Jennifer and Louis were very friendly and accommodating for me and my pup first overnight stay I was very nervous in the beginning due to it being my dog first overnight stay. I a new to the app and was looking for a playful friendly dog that my dog can stay and play with occasionally. We have found one thank you Jennifer and Louis for your hospitality pictures and videos everything went great!”
“Super responsive, super friendly, sent tons of pictures and videos during the stay. Even went above and beyond to handle some of our dog's particular issues/factors.”
“Katie took such good care of my dog. My dog can be slow to warm up to people, but she was instantly at ease with Katie and loved being a part of a pack for the weekend. Katie communicated well and sent lots of pictures and videos. I think my dog missed Katie and her dog after her visit. We’ll definitely board with her again.”
“My old arthritic girl did so good at Catherine and Nikhit's house! She gets anxious when she's away from home but she got so much love and attention there. Thank you so much!”
“Brittany was great! Always responsive, great communication, and very flexible when coordinating meetup / drop-off / pick-up times despite a bit of an uncertain travel schedule. Masterfully navigated the challenge of snuggling multiple Velcro dogs at the same time without enough lap to go around. Thanks for the great care!”
“This was our first experience using DogVacay. We had excellent communication with Nicole, Jim and family from our initial enquiry and throughout Gilda's week long stay. It was clear from the daily photos, movies and updates that Gilda had a wonderful time and felt very comfortable. She had plenty of opportunities for play and exercise. When our pick up plans changed unexpectedly, Nicole was flexible and helpful. Thank you for taking such great care of Gilda. She loves the homemade dog treats.”
About: I've been a dog owner for 12 years, and a dog and pet lover my whole life! I have had to send my two dogs to heaven in the last two years, and I miss having dogs in my life, but I'm not quite ready to adopt again. But I'd love to help owners with their pets, and shower them with affection and walks and dog park visits while they are in my care. Dogs are allowed on the bed and furniture in my home, of course! I telework 3 days per week, and when I am not teleworking I work short days, and am home most evenings as well. I am also available to sit in your home as well! While I don't have a yard, I live in Del Ray with many parks, trails, and dog friends to spend time with. I'm very active and love to hike and walk.
“Alesha takes great care of our pups and provides a lot of updates! They always come back happy and sleepy. This past time, our pup was a little sick and Alesha went out of her way to give her special food and kept us updated on her status.”
“Christine was wonderful with my pup! Very responsive with coordination and updates, and accommodating with my dogs specific needs. It is clear she truly cares for each animal in her home. Highly recommend to others and I will be using her again in the future!”
“Nova had an absolutely amazing time stay with Melanie and her family! We had updates throughout the entire weekend and she came home so tired and happy. If you are looking for your new go to sitter, look no further!”
“Donna is the best! My girl Finny is almost 17 years old and Donna is so patient and kind with her. I always know Finny will be safe and treated like family when I’m away.”

“Julie always goes above and beyond for our furbabies. We’ve worked with her a lot on another app so I hand-picked her for a 4 day trip when I saw her on Rover. She was highly punctual and communicative and followed all instructions. I’ll be booking with her again!”

“Byul was excellent caring for my cat while we traveled for 10 days. She provided daily photos and videos, and even brought in mail and packages for us. Our cat was happy and healthy when we got back!”
“Would definitely recommend Laura - had messes (including vomit) that Laura graciously dealt with on multiple drop-in visits and she kept me informed of everything. Always communicative as well.”
“Nicollette is wonderful, lots of communication and pictures (our big scared tabby never came out from under the bed when she came so she got down and took pictures of him hiding.) She kept them fed, litter boxes clean and played with the one who came out. Couldn't have asked for a better sitter.”
“Emma was great! She sent a ton of pictures everyday and provided details on how everything was doing! I could tell that she really cared about my pet, I’m really happy that I was able to have her drop in for the week. I will definitely rebook with her! Thank you Emma!!”
“Rachel gave great updates on our cat with lots of pictures and made sure to provide lots of playtime for Peaches. She followed all our instructions and was flexible with last minute changes.”
“It was great having Megan care for my cat, Bella. She sent plenty of pictures and updates, which was reassuring during my travels. Thanks, Megan!”
About: My senior cat is my whole world, so I have extensive experience in catering to picky eaters and felines with peculiar habits. I’m ready to adapt to your cats unique personality and take care of them with love!
“Liza was so great with the cats while I was away. She was super responsive and sent some of the best pictures of my cat Theo I have ever seen (and he’s a squirmer)! Getting into my building while I’m away is a bit difficult, but Liza was so great about setting the access keys up ahead of time. I will definitely be using her to watch the cats again!”
“This was the first time I left my cats alone so I was very nervous! Thankfully Kristin took great care of them and sent me plenty of pictures so I knew they were ok. She did a great job making sure they were fed, pet, and even got some play time in!”
“Mandy was wonderful! She took great care of my dog and cat, was very communicative, and made me feel very comfortable leaving them in her care! I would definitely recommend Mandy to anyone!”
“Andrea has been amazing! The dogs love her. She is very responsive and gives great updates in her visit details. She was willing to stop by ahead of our first scheduled drop-in to meet the pups. I’ve rebooked with her and plan to continue!”
About: I've taken care of dogs all ages and breeds since I was about 8, and have spent a great deal of time caring for small breeds and seniors. I'm experienced in senior care involving medication regimens, dietary restrictions, and attentiveness to exercise and bathroom needs, as well as all the extra loving in between! Conversely, I have a good deal of experience in sticking to the puppy training schedule and command words as well as the patience necessary in the learning process. I'm currently a graduate student on summer break and have all the time in the world to look after your fur babies! I am available most (if not all) weekends as well as during the work week through the end of August I am able to commute to your home to care for your pets and adhere to whatever their daily schedule may look like. From walks, meals, nap time, and everything in between I am able to accommodate most services to keep them comfortable in your absence!

“I always get nervous leaving my 1 year old pup with someone new, but Elizabeth was absolutely wonderful and exceeded all my expectations. I could tell immediately that she’s a dog person, and she sent me tons of updates throughout the day. I’m so grateful for her and will be booking again next time I need daycare!”
“So happy to have found Nina & Chris for my dog. They were very communicative and gave many updates during the day. We did a daycare text-run ahead of a work trip I have scheduled in a few weeks, to see if my dog fit into their household. Glad things went well!”

“My pup had a great time at Russ's house! She came back super tired from playing with the other dogs. Russ sent me several updates throughout the day, which I really loved. Drop off and pick up was super easy- I will be using Russ again!”

About: Substitute teacher during the school year, looking to walk dogs and house sit this summer. As for experience, I grew up with a sweet and feisty Chihuahua named Taco, and for the last 11 years I owned a hyper and loving Australian Shepherd named Josie, who needed lots of activity and attention. Such a fun dog! Currently my school is on summer break, so I can walk dogs during all week days until the beginning of August, except for two week-long trips. My availability has been updated on the Rover app. I provide attentive care that is tailored to each pet’s routine and needs. In my home or a client’s home, I ensure pets have fresh water, regular meals, exercise, potty breaks, and plenty of affection and supervision. I follow the owner’s instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, training, and household rules to maintain consistency and reduce stress. I keep the environment clean and safe, monitor pets for any changes in behavior or health, and communicate regularly with owners by providing updates and photos. My goal is to create a calm, trustworthy environment where pets feel comfortable and well cared for.
“Kamryn was great with my large breed dog! She was super responsive and we did a meet and greet before she kept him for the day. I picked him up happy and tail wagging!”

“Abigail and Cole were absolutely wonderful with our pup. They are friendly, communicative, and clearly treated our dog like their own. We came home to a happy, relaxed pup and felt at ease the entire time knowing he was in such good hands. Highly recommend Abigail and Cole to anyone looking for reliable and caring pet sitters!”
About: Hi there! I’m Grant - my wife and I are huge dog lovers. In April of 2025, we lost our first dog, Moose, a 90lb golden retriever mix. To honor his memory, we began a fostering journey. We successfully fostered out 5 dogs (3 of them seniors) to their forever homes over the next year (including the 5th one, who became our own!). We are aquatinted with all kinds and sizes with dogs. It’s been an honor to get to know each one and explore their unique personalities! We currently have 2 dogs of our own at home: Ellie, a 3yo petite Great Pyrenees, and Charlie, a 2yo Australian Shepherd. They LIVE for playing with other dogs - we’d love to host your pup and provide them a happy, fun, safe space to stay while you are away. Do you have a big dog? Are you anxious about it pulling your dog walker? I’ve got experience with large dogs pulling and I can handle yours. I will give them the distance and space they need to have a happy and safe walk. I get anxious when we have others look after our dogs. Anything could happen. Know that I will bring every bit of care and safety to your dog that I bring to mine every day. They’re valuable members of your family and I will treat them as such. Please reach out with any questions. Thank you! I work from home when I am not traveling for work, so am fairly flexible during the day and week. Just let me know the time and we’ll see if it works! My own dog is like my child. I know that you feel the same way about yours. I will follow all instructions to a T. I am passionate about safety about my own dog - I will bring that level of care to you.
About: I I’ve grown up caring for dogs—especially large breeds—and genuinely love spending time with them. I’d be thrilled to help care for your dog and make sure they feel safe, happy, and well-loved while you’re away. I’m a registered nurse and work just three days a week, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of time at home to provide attentive, reliable care. I am comfortable and experience in giving all types of medications as well and as a nurse I am very attentive to detail! I also have a Bernese Mountain Dog puppy of my own, Nola, so I’m very familiar with the needs, energy, and personalities of bigger dogs. We spend a lot of time playing in our backyard aince it is fully fenced, front and back, and going on neighborhood walks, and I’d love to include your pup in the fun! We have a huge backyard that your pup can enjoy and a playmate as well! Look forward to taking care of your pups :) I am currently looking for something part-time to pick up and help out here and there when it is convenient in my current weekly schedule I am a very trustworthy and organized person. Being on time is key as well as being able to fulfill the tasks that is expected.
“Brian and Andrew took great care of our girl! Our pup was a little nervous being in a new place, but Brian and Andrew were so patient and she quickly felt right at home!

“Skye loved her walks with Julie! I appreciated that she took the time to work on her pulling. Skye seemed like the long walk tired her out when I got home, which was my goal. I recommend Julie for any dog walking needs. She's very responsive and always showed up on time.”
“Hilary was great with our pug! She was reliable and provided updates and was even able to get our girl back in her crate after her walk, when she can be a bit stubborn. She was communicative and made booking and everything easy! Will definitely book Hilary again!”

Additionally, she kindly offered to wipe the paws since it was wet outside. Outstanding service! I’m happy to have found an excellent walker on our first try. We will order more services moving forward!”
About: I have owned and loved pets my whole life. Growing up I owned dogs, and took care of neighborhood dogs and cats. Now, I own two cats, and love visiting with and taking care of pets of friends and family. I am available most days and times, including mornings, evenings, and weekends. Flexible scheduling, and happy to work with your pets routine care and needs! I know how deeply people care for their pets, as a pet owner myself. Each pet has their own personality and attention needs. Whether it be an excitable dog, or a cat that needs a little extra space to feel comfortable, I think it is important to make sure the level they need is appropriately met!
“Amanda has been a great addition to Ducky’s daily routine since I’ve had to start going back to the office. She now looks forward to every walk! Amanda is also an excellent communicator and keeps me updated which I appreciate while being newly away from my dog!”

He was patient with my initially skeptical dog and Obi has come to trust him and enjoys their walks! I recommend Nathan's services if you are looking for a dog walker or other support with your dog.”
“Daisy took great care of my ole girl. She was thoughtful and communicated with me about Le’la while in her care. Daisy went above and beyond what I expected to make sure my Le’la was comfortable and content.”
“Nicollette was amazing with our dog Luna. Luna has a lot of anxiety and Nicollette knew exactly how to help put her at ease. Eventually Luna needed a break due to anxiety, but Nicollette was very understanding and treated her so well. There were a couple of times when Luna did not want to be walked, and Nicollette just gave her yard time and time to get to know each other. I think it really helped!”
“Peter has been so great with my dog Milo! He has a history of anxiety and is not always great with other dogs, but Peter has been so patient with him despite his quirks! I look forward to continue booking him for future care needs :)”
