“Christine was great with my shyer pup. My dog gets a bit nervous the first day away but she seemed happy and cuddly and not wanting to leave her side by day 2. We will definitely rebook in the future!”
“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.”

“Laurie & Rich were great hosts for my dachshund mix Lily! The sent me regular check ins and pictures of my pup which I greatly appreciate. They communicated fantastically throughout the entire process, and accommodated all of my requests. I could not have asked for a better host! 10/10 would recommend.”
“Matthew with family is very accommodating and will entertain your dog for a great price! They went swimming and on long walks. Executed Ozzie’s food plan and supplements no problem. They sleep in the bed with their dogs which my dog liked. I’ll be a return customer if they’ll have us.”
“Nani is a fantastic sitter. She is kind and treats your pup like her own. She is patient and flexible. My dog really enjoys his stays with her. I highly recommend her. I love the updates and photo’s too.”

“Elizabeth was wonderful! Super communicative, sent lots of pictures, and was proactive about making sure our dog was as comfortable as possible during her stay. It was clear that she is knowledgable and experienced in caring for all kinds of dogs.”
“Francise was wonderful with our girl, Winnie! She took wonderful care and provided great updates and photos. Winnie can be a little difficult on walks sometimes because she is a bit dog reactive and Francise did a great job managing her! We can’t say enough nice things and we highly recommend Francise and look forward to having Winnie stay with Francise again!”
“My dog Tako was extremely well taken care of and I got frequent updates. Shanilka was very easy to communicate with and she was very flexible as my travel plans changed due to the weather. I will absolutely be using her again if I ever need!”
“Reese absolutely loves Erin! He’s so excited to see her for dog walks and sitting. Erin understands his Reese-isms and takes the best care of him. I get lots of updates and photos, which I love!”
“Kelly did such a great job hosting Buggy! Buggy wasn’t feeling the best and had trouble eating but Kelly did an excellent job and gave me regular updates and photos so I knew she was in good hands.”
“Wonderful experience again with Ewelina. Our overly excited and sometimes anxious dog loves her multiple long walks & patience Ewelina provides! :)”
“Caroline is the best! Our pup has the best time and is so well taken care of. We had travel issues and she was so understanding and flexible with pickup. We are grateful!”
“Danyelle took great care of my pup. She was great with communication and treated Jetta as if she were her own! Will definitely be using her services again!”
“Kelly has watched my older lab a few times now and we are so thankful to have found her. She takes great care of him and has helped me out of a couple binds (last minute drop-off/pick-up changes and stays).”
“I can’t think of how my experience with Alyce could have gone better. From set up to pick up, she was responsive and flexible. This was my first time using Rover and Alyce made me and Ozy feel at ease. Even when I’d messed up my dates and needed her to keep Ozy for an extra day, she immediately responded with suggestions to make things work. She sent many pictures and videos of him playing and having fun. Her yard is perfect for a curious sniffer and with her adorable Mookie, Ozy was entertained and kept company for his whole stay. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again.”
“Briana was amazing with our dog! You could tell our dog was comfortable with her out the gate. I usually send my dog with toys because i'm never too sure but Briana had it all! Toys, bowls and blankets! She kept me up to date and sent pictures as well! 10/10 recommend and will be using her services again! :)”
“Kelly was amazing. The attention and the care to our pup. Our Kazuki was a little anxious at first but he felt right at home with Kelly. She made sure to send loads of pics and check ins. She was sure to make him feel at home. Thanks again Kelly. I surely will book with her soon. ☺️”
“Jennifer was so kind and attentive to my pup! I could tell my dog instantly warmed up to her and her dog and felt super comfortable there. She was great with communication and sent many adorable photos.”

“Aimee was wonderful. She sent thorough updates and lots of photos- I think the cats may not have even missed us. Will definitely be booking her again.”
“Morgan was extraordinary! Our little fella bonded with her immediately. She is very knowledgeable, and took care of our guy magnificently. It gave us great peace of mind. She was punctual each day, which was greatly appreciated. We look forward to having Morgan back.”
“Rylee was amazing! Bean will usually hide from strangers, but he loved Rylee. I cannot emphasize enough how shocked I was to receive video and photos of him playing and cuddling up to her. Updates were prompt and thorough. Could not recommend her enough.”
“I was gone for about 10 days and Ameera stopped in every day, sometimes twice a day, to make sure my kitty had the company he needed. She always provides clear updates and makes me feel so at ease! I couldn’t recommend her enough.”
“Spencer and Julia kept me posted throughout the weekend, provided several pictures, and spent a lot of quality time with my cat. Really appreciate their help and communication, and would recommend them to others.”
“I had a great experience with this sitter and would absolutely book again. My cat is extremely shy and usually hides from anyone new, so I wasn’t expecting much interaction—but she still went above and beyond. She took the time to find her, got a photo so I knew she was okay, made sure she had fresh food, and even fully changed out her litter. It gave me a lot of peace of mind knowing my cat was being cared for properly, even if she wasn’t coming out to socialize. You can tell she’s patient, attentive, and genuinely cares about the animals she’s watching. Highly recommend, especially if you have a more anxious or reserved pet.”
“Guiselle is super responsive and last minute helped watch my cat! My cat really likes her you could tell by the photos she was sending me. Will definitely be rebooking!”
“We needed someone on short notice and Alexandria responded immediately. She was friendly, easy to communicate with, and made the process stress-free. She was great with our 8-month-old rescue, Poppy, who’s still adjusting and can be reactive on leash. Alexandria was patient and understanding, handling Poppy thoughtfully. We loved the photos and report card after each visit and would definitely book Alexandria again—Poppy would be happy to see her too!”
“Tara is the best. If you are in need of pet care (we have cats), you want someone like Tara watching over them when you’re not able. Rover: why do you cap custom tips? Sort of defeats the purpose…”
“Lisa took excellent care of our 4 cats and followed our instructions perfectly. It’s clear from the photos that she got them each to warm up to her quickly and spent quality time with them. Definitely recommend!”
“Isabelle and Diego watched my 4 month old kitten for 5 days. They did a great job, were flexible and accommodating, and sent lots of pictures (very important when you miss your pet!). I would absolutely book with them again and trust them with my babies!”
“Aly is great! She dropped in to care for my cat for several days during the holidays. She took great care of her during that time, following all the instructions we discussed, and providing thoughtful details and wonderful pictures of the visits. Definitely recommended.”
“Stacy is a great communicator and took great care of my two cats. I was at ease during my trip knowing Stacy was there to check in on my boys. Thank you Stacy!”
“Jennifer did an incredible job caring for our cat! She was thoroughly communicative, kind, and attentive to our cat's needs. She's professional and respectful and we highly recommend her!”
“Thank you for everything! You’ve been so great with Rosie and I appreciate your pictures, videos, and detailed summary of the visit. I would definitely have you back.”
“Lucy is very professional and gets along well with my cat. She always sends a lot of photos and videos of my cat and makes sure he’s healthy and happy at home. Lucy is also easy to communicate and flexible with the schedule. I will work with her next time!!”

“Shadow was happy when I dropped her off and when I picked her up. She received cuddles and was super content on the pictures. I highly recommend Fengyuan!”
About: I know how important it is to find someone who will treat your pup like family while you're away. I work from home full-time, so your dog will always have company and lots of cuddles throughout the day. - I only host one client at a time, so you dont have to worry about unfamiliar dogs during their stay. -Whether your dog loves playtime, long walks, cuddles on the couch, or a slower-paced routine, I’m happy to match their needs. -I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels. I also have experience with dogs with separation anxiety and food or environmental allergies. 📷 You’ll receive regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pup is happy and well cared for. **I live in an apartment building, so I can't safely accommodate large dogs that are reactive to people or other dogs, since it's not possible to completely avoid encounters in shared spaces.** I can accommodate regular walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and check-ins, and I’m able to adjust my routine to meet your dog’s needs. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my priority. I follow all care instructions, use leashes on walks, and provide a calm, secure environment with regular updates.
“Haley was amazing with our little puppy!!! We couldn’t have asked for anyone better to watch him, she had so many updates throughout the day! We couldn’t recommend her more!”
“Donna was very warm and caring towards our dog. She was very thoughtful in ensuring our dog felt comfortable and we really appreciated it. She was also fantastic in communicating with us! She clearly loves dogs and we highly recommend her!”
“Chloe has made some good friends at HK’s . She looks forward to going there twice a week and loves the freedom she has to roam and play. HK is always very attentive and caring, and very accommodating.”
“Chang took wonderful care of Zoe! I really appreciated the updates and photos. Zoe looked very comfortable with her. I will definitely book with Chang again!”
“Caroline is absolutely fantastic! My pup suffers from horrible separation anxiety so he needs to be sat quite often. Caroline is our go to because we can trust he’s being given the best of care. She is incredibly responsive when determining our sitting needs, very flexible and respectful of our ask not to leave our pup alone. Would highly recommend Caroline for anyone looking for a sitter in the area!”
“Leila came to my rescue w/ my last minute request for doggy daycare today. She responded quickly and made my Zoe feel so welcome at drop off. Zoe did not want to leave when I picked her up, which is a first. Leila is a dog whisperer! Thank you for your kindness and the adorable photos. Immediately had peace of mind knowing Zoe was in great care w/ a loving sitter. My girl Zoe can be a bit high maintenance but Leila never made me feel like an inconvenience. I highly recommend Leila to care for your fur baby.”
“What a gem Caroline is — great communications and flexibility. Jayda loved her perches and chilling together. Thank you so much Caroline — highly recommended”
“Sarachai takes wonderful care of my Monti (see cute goldendoodle pic!). My dog cries with happiness as we drive up to his house and pulls me to the front door. The family is great about sending pics and letting me know how my dog is doing during the day. I am extremely comfortable with letting Monti stay. I'll continue to be a repeat customer.”
“Such a great sitter!!!! So grateful I found Merlyn and her sweet pup Nugget! My dog Bodhi loves hanging out with them while I’m at work! Would definitely recommend!”
“Was absolutely amazing!! She took Jamison on very short notice and had the quickest response, she also kept me updated throughout the day!! Jamison looked looked very happy!!”
“Luliia's house is the perfect place for dogs. She has a huge fully fenced in backyard with a double gate like you see in dog parks. I'm a paranoid pet parent, and I feel totally at ease leaving our two basset hounds there. They went for daycare, and I intend on having overnight stays for them there in the future. It was obvious that careful attention was paid to any breed specific needs and even to each dog's individual personalities. We got lots of photos and video of our dogs playing. They slept so long when I brought them back home.”
“Corey and Nyla were great with Lola and Coco. They put me at ease with their experience, approach and good communication. They were very sweet to our rescue dogs who are still learning the ropes of a home and sought to make them feel comfortable. We will definitely look to them for future daycare and boarding needs.”
“Catherine was the most perfect dog sitter for our 1 year old Bauer. She had a very cute dog who got along very well with him. Highly recommend and will be using her again!”
About: I’ve been providing pet caretaking services for over 10 years and have been a trusted sitter for family and friends. I have experience watching all types of dogs; anxious, chill, hyper, nervous, clingy- I can handle it. I can adapt to your pets’ specific needs and styles. I have experience working with dogs who are in training and can help facilitate the process. I’m a law student on summer break with a flexible online part-time job, so I can plan around your schedule. I will be available most days of the week. I take into account the pets’ needs and characteristics in order to anticipate any safety concerns or special considerations. I like to request the pets’ special needs and prior history to make sure I know how they are best taken care of.

“Rylee is amazing! Our dog can be timid on walks but Rylee has brought out the best in her and I’m so impressed at the long walks they’ve done. Excellent communication and photos. Will be rebooking again and again!”
About: All my life, I’ve been around pets. Growing up, I raised 2 puppies of my own and was constantly walking dogs. Today, I have two cats of my own and have been taking care of cats since college. While I was originally a “dog person,” I’ve grown to appreciate cats and finally understand them, recognizing each cat’s uniqueness. I primarily work from home and would love to take care of your pet, whether walking your dog or checking in on your cats. I’m flexible, reliable, and caring. I’m very flexible as I primarily work from home, and I am available to take care of your pet in the morning, afternoon, evenings, and late at night, on weekdays and weekends. I love catering to each pet and continuing their routines. Whether checking in on your cats or walking dogs, I’ll make sure to communicate with you for all the info needed to make your pet comfortable.
“Stacy is great! She walked my dog during the workday consistently for a few months and he was so well cared for. Stacy is super reliable and easy to reach which I always appreciated. I’m so sad to be moving out of the area as I’m sure it’ll be hard to find someone like her again.”
“Josephine is amazing walking our two doggies! They are a little tricky to deal with and she always takes the best care of them! One of our dog’s used to bark so much at her and now she has really calmed down because Josephine talks to her and pets her. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog walker! :)”
“Tali had a great walk with Maggie! I appreciated that she came over to meet Tali earlier in the week before the walk and Tali loved her instantly. She was flexible with some time changes and kept me updated after the walk sharing lots of pictures. Will absolutely continue to have Maggie walk my pup!”
“Anne has been amazing! Patient and flexible with my anxious, nervous, sensitive, and opinionated dog, Pumpkin. She's been key in helping to desensitize him to our surrounding area while we work through environmental anxiety issues. Anne has also been incredibly communicative, and we're so lucky to have found her 💖”
“Lauren is an amazing dog walker! She connected with my dog immediately who is nervous around most people. Lauren is gentle and patient with my pup and always gives a detailed report of how she is doing. I really appreciate Lauren’s constant reliability and attentiveness!”
About: I love all dogs, but I've grown up taking care of primarily large dogs like Pitbulls. My neighbors rely on me very often to take care of their pets when needed. I currently have a very flexible schedule while I am going to college online. I am available during the week and some weekends! Pet care is already built into my daily routine, so please let me know how I can make your day easier by spending some time with your fur baby. During the walks your fur baby is my main focus. I love going for long walks to get some energy out, but short walks are also nice. I walk my sweet dog separately from other fur babies to alleviate the stress of dog introductions.
“Amazing! Extremely reliable walker and fast response times! We needed someone to walk our two large dogs everyday over holiday break and could not be more pleased with the service! He will be our go to from now on.”
“Diego is great with our puppy on his weekly walk with her! We feel comfortable knowing he's checking in on her while we're away and his communication is great. We tried other services before finding Diego, but they didn't walk the full time and left our dog feeling anxious. Now, she's happy and calm when we come home!”
“Shivani was very quick to respond to our request, and was flexible with the timing of the meet-and-greet before the booking. She gave us plenty of feedback throughout the day and took lots of pictures for us as well. Shivani also was on time for both of the walks we requested. She made the process easy for us, and we’d definitely trust her with our pups again.”
“Jen is terrific with our dog. He loves spending time with her and getting his exercise :-) Communication with Jen is clear and consistent, and she's always been on time. Already re-booked her time.”
“Guiselle was absolutely wonderful! She was very kind, patient, and professional from start to finish. She sent great pictures during the walk and kept me updated with clear and consistent communication, which I really appreciated. The routes were well planned, and she made sure my dog got a thorough walk, even exceeding the scheduled time. She also made sure my dog had water for hydration afterward, which meant a lot to me. It was obvious she truly cares about the dogs she works with and takes her role seriously. I felt completely comfortable and confident leaving my dog in her care and will absolutely be booking with her again. Highly recommend Guiselle to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker!”
“Lexi was great! This was our first Rover experience and Lexi took the time to come do a meet and greet prior to our first walk, which was great so she could meet our dog and chat through his quirks. :) She was very communicative, timely and left great notes and pics. Looking forward to booking with Lexi again soon!”
About: I grew up with dogs and now proud mom of 2 cats. I love animals, enjoy long walks (as a runner myself). Been caring for family dogs and coworkers pets while they’re away. I currently work full time with flexible Fridays and Weekends completely open. Usually do weekends while family or friends travel. At the pets place sitting and walks.

“Joseph was very communicative and shared pictures of our pups with us daily. He followed all directions we gave him and made sure our pups feel at home under his care.
