The backyard is a huge bonus and gives her plenty of space to run and play, which she loves. Christine is great about sending updates and photos, which I always really appreciate. It’s clear my dog feels right at home there, and I couldn’t ask for a better sitter!”

“Michelle gets all stars from me for being a terrific dogsitter. I got photos and numerous updates everyday and she handled my feisty 1-year-old little terrier, Ruby, like a pro. tons of exercise, love, and a window to the street for some people and dog watching met all of Ruby's needs. I totally trust and appreciate the outstanding care and attention she provides.”
“Would highly recommend Shane! This is the first Rover stay where my dog immediately felt comfortable. I was able to travel with peace of mind knowing she was being so well cared for. Shane was quick to respond throughout the booking process and sent daily updates and pictures during her stay. We’ve definitely found our #1!”

“Jennifer and Louis are FANTASTIC. They are Dolly's home away from home. I feel 100% at ease with Dolly in Jennifer's 24 hour care. Dolly has stayed with Jennifer before - and just now for 2 weeks and I will fly up from Florida for Dolly to stay with Jennifer and Louis when my family and I travel Internationally in October. Jennifer communicates, send pictures and keeps us informed. We love Jennifer and Dolly is always happy to see her and Louis.”
“My two dogs stayed recently for the weekend. I got a ton of photos each day which I loved - Nicole understands that dogs are part of the family. Loved that she's home during the day with the pups and the whole family chips in to help and give them attention. She even sent the dogs home with cute little handmade goodie bags. The pups are going back soon for a longer visit and I feel like they will be in great hands”
“Aisha was wonderful and kind to our dog. He just moved back to USA and has been very nervous. She watched him for about six hours and he seemed very relaxed when we picked him up. Thank you so much!!”
“This was my second time leaving Ozy with Alyce, and I couldn’t be happier. She sent so many videos of Ozy playing with her dog Mookie or her sons, it was so reassuring to see him so happy. Next time I go out of town I’ll book Alyce in a heartbeat”
“As a first time dog mom who was leaving my fur baby for the first time, I was extremely nervous about booking and trusting someone who I’d never met before. April has been incredible from the start and I am so happy I took the leap of faith! Her experience and communication prior to booking made me feel confident in my decision and set a high bar - a standard that she continued to exceed throughout my week away! I received tons of timely, daily updates including lots of pictures and videos, and she was always very quick to respond when I reached out. April made sure to incorporate lots of outside time at the park and my Luna had a blast playing with her pup Louie who is just the sweetest! And to top it off, lots of treats, belly rubs and bedtime snuggles. I actually think my pup was more sad to leave than happy to see me! After this experience, I will certainly be booking with April Again. Thank you so much for taking excellent care of my most precious girl!”

I am a constant worrier, but while I was on my trip, I didn’t have to worry about my Goose a single time. Ann is amazing!!!!!!!”

About: I've had cats all my life, and I regularly take care of friend’s cats! I recognize that they are not dogs, and require a completely different type of care. And no, they are not the "boring" pets, they're just as aware and deserving of respect as dogs!
“Erin was very reliable and even though our cat is not the most social with new people we knew he was well getting taken care of. Thank you so much.”

“Donna was wonderful, as always! She's warm, caring, and great with our dog. We also appreciated her clear communication and the regular updates she sent about how our dog was doing!”
“Fernie had a great first day care experience with Jodee and AJ! We did a meet and greet the day before with Maverik and their other regular day care pup, Winnie, to make sure everyone was compatible. Fernie had a blast sniffing and running all around the yard and Jodee sent me picture and status updates throughout the day.”
“Missy had a great time with Matthew's family and their dog Luna. In terms of coordination, Matthew was very responsive, and flexible with pick up and dropoff times which made our lives very easy. We're in the area for a week on holiday and have already booked with Matthew for next week given what a great time Missy had!”
About: I had two dogs growing up (Snowball and Mocha) and in recent years, have dog sat for friends, friends, and for Rover clients. It's rewarding and super fun for me! I enjoy the long walks in my neighborhood (I live in an awesome neighborhood for that) and lots of cuddles/belly rubs with the dogs I am sitting! I work from home most of the week and have plenty of time during the day for neighborhood strolls/walks with my rover pups. I love going for walks to take a break so would take the dog out at least 3 or 4 times a day with me. My husband and I live in a 2 bedroom/2 floor condo with a balcony. The dog would have access to the first floor. We have hard wood floors, a ton of really great light and are on the 3rd floor. There are no elevators in this building. We have a ton of neighbors who have dogs, an elementary school near by with a nice track/green space, and lots of side walk space for walks.
“We had a good experience with Nina - she and her boyfriend watched our 2 Australian Shepherd for a few hours. They were easy to communicate with and responded quickly to messages. We’d be happy to use them again!”
“I always know a good dog sitter when we are on our way and Moxie starts getting all excited in the car when we are about half a mile away and she's figured out where we're going. I love to see that. It makes me happy to see her so happy. Thank you again! I definitely recommend Yulia and Ken. They have a great yard and a wonderful dogs they care for. Moxie loves it so that means I love it!”
“Within a day's notice, Madina agreed to watch Ali. She was accommodating to an impromptu meet-up and kept an optimistic attitude the entire time. I highly recommend booking with her. Thanks again Madina!”
“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!”
“Amazing person and great energy. Her space for the dogs was clean, well looked after and very professional. Cynthia communicated throughout the day and sent multiple pictures and videos. Our dogs will be back!”
“We had a great experience from booking (somewhat last minute) through day-of coordination, Leila was really easy to communicate with and we felt confident our pup was in good hands! Will definitely aim to book with Leila again!”
“My dog Eddie had a great time at Marie’s playing with her dog and running around her fenced yard. He came home and promptly crashed. I highly recommend Marie and will be using her again.”
“This was my first time using Rover and Esther-Elizabeth and her husband Mike far exceeded my expectations. Not only were they kind, personable, and communicative; they took excellent care of our 1 year old Yorkie Hendrix, and seemed to genuinely care about him. I would highly recommend Esther-Elizabeth if you’re considering her to care for your pet. This will certainly not be the last time I reach out when we need care for Hendrix. Thank you for such a seamless, pleasant experience!”
“Jennifer was absolutely amazing! She’s incredibly knowledgeable about dogs and it’s so clear how much she cares for them. She made my own dog feel right at home! I really appreciated all her communication and her flexibility on my pick up time. Will 100% book again. Thank you Jennifer!”
About: With over 20 years of experience caring for multiple cats, I’ve developed a deep understanding of feline behavior, needs, and personalities. I currently share my home with two female cats and would prefer to only board other female cats to ensure harmony in the home. I’ve nurtured cats from kittenhood through their senior years, providing loving, attentive care every step of the way. While I’m a lifelong cat owner, I also have a genuine love for dogs and enjoy spending time with them just as much, whether it’s going for walks, playing fetch, or simply giving them the affection they crave. I’m actively working toward a dog training certificate to further strengthen my skills and knowledge. I treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine, especially since I work from home full-time. This flexibility allows me to give pets consistent attention, regular feedings, playtime, and any needed care throughout the day. Whether it's scheduled walks, medication, or just some extra cuddle time, I'm able to be present and responsive to each pet’s needs. It's truly a joy to incorporate caring for animals into my everyday life. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I provide pets with a safe, comfortable, and loving environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely, feeding schedules, exercise, medication, and playtime, to ensure consistency and reduce stress. In a client’s home, I respect their space and routines, making sure pets feel secure in their familiar environment. In my home, I create a cozy, pet-friendly space with plenty of affection, supervision, and enrichment. My goal is always to keep pets happy, healthy, and cared for just like they’re my own.
“Nya was so good with Benji! She kept me updated throughout the day and made sure he was good and comfortable which would put any dog owner at ease while away. Thank you again Nya! Will definitely be booking again very soon!”
“Diana was a lifesaver for me and my puopy Ezra when I needed help on short notice. She communicated well and kept the process smooth. Most of all Ezra loved her from the start and was so haopy to see her each day. Definately reccimend!”
“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!”
About: I've been taking care of dogs and cats for almost my whole life--we had two dogs and a cat in the house since I was about 8 years old, and I also took care of the neighbors' pets consistently! Over the past few years, I've regularly house sat and watched my neighbor's dog for 3-14 days a time, and also gave him 8 pills a day to help prevent his seizures. I've also boarded multiple dogs at my house while our friends were out of town, and helped take care of my parents' aging dogs and cat in the last few years of their lives. Mostly, I just love animals and want to help others when they need to be away from their pets! I will gladly send photo updates to pet owners, whether we're on a walk, playing, or having a little sleepover! :) I'm a freelance/wedding videographer, so the winter months are pretty slow and give me plenty of free time for dog walks or cat drop-ins any day of the week, or to board pets here while I'm working from home! I live in a townhouse with plenty of space for dogs to roam around. My usual daily walk is through a safe, residential neighborhood away from the main roads. Your dogs are free to jump on furniture/sleep in bed with me if they want. :) We also have plenty of room for crates and bedding. We have a small fenced-in patio space in the back where they can hang out outside-- it's not a grass yard but there are garden beds they can use for the bathroom! Pictures are included in my profile. We also live near a large field for running and fetch, as well as multiple dog parks if that's something you're comfortable with! My boyfriend also loves dogs and will be here in the evenings and on weekends for extra love and cuddles for your dogs! However I'll be the sole caregiver and the only one responsible for your pets at all times, so I'll always be the one feeding, walking, and supervising :)

“Erin and her family are great! They’re punctual, reliable, and responsive. They did a great job of taking care of my dog. They came to meet her and run through her walk routine prior to the day of her being walked, and were fabulous all around. Can’t recommend them enough!”
“Ann is an exceptional dog walker. I have an elderly dog and Ann was very attuned to how she was feeling, how much she wanted to walk, and just followed her lead. Ann is a great communicator, sending me numerous pictures and written updates after each walk (three times a day). She is organized, friendly, is great with dogs, and makes sure everyone is on the same page. She coordinated with my cousin where my dog was staying. Rosie was very happy and relaxed when I went to pick her up.”
“Vianca is a rockstar and I can't say enough good things about her. She is a wonderful human and loves animals and they in turn love her. She is attuned to the needs of my senior princess and I feel so comfortable with leaving my squishy baby with Vianca. She is the best!”
“Thank you Leo, very professional, on time and great communication! My pups are not the easiest but you made me feel at ease by handling the situation! Thank you Leo”
“Erin was phenomenal! She was available last minute which was a lifesaver. She was absolutely wonderful with my dog and gave a very detailed report which helped ease my anxiety.”
“Alissa is wonderful! She is patient, kind, attentive, and a great caregiver to our old man dog. From the start, she treated him with such gentleness and respect. We always felt at ease knowing he was in her care. Our Frankie can be a little slow and stubborn these days, but Alissa showed incredible patience and made sure he was safe and happy on their walks. It’s clear she truly loves animals and takes her role seriously. We are so grateful to have found her and would recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone looking for a dependable and compassionate walker!”
“Patrick has been a tremendous help with my dog’s midday walk. He is reliable, shows up even when it is raining, and gives me helpful updates so I know what has happened on the walk. Definitely recommend him.”
About: Not just another dog lover! I’ve had at least one dog, plus, at all times. Most from a puppy until departure. Experience with rescued dogs in making them feel comfortable/relaxed. We had a rescue from Hurricane Katrina. I’m very patient, caring, & don’t mind petting or playing all day. I’m hoping to give them the love and care when you can’t be ther. I work from home several days during the week and can properly share my time for walks, feeding, and playing. I have a Cocker Spaniel who gets along with other dogs well. I’m home in the evenings and weekends. I live in a pet friendly apartment complex with plenty of grassy areas and usually take my dog on a walk in the neighborhood. I don’t have any furniture or bed restrictions. I am happy to sit at your home, if preferred.
“Very appreciative of Kimberly for making herself available in such a short notice. She was punctual, communicative, and informative. I look forward to working with her in the near future.”
“Kyle was very kind and responsive. He took my 114lb American Akita on a long walk and my pup came back happy! Will be using Kyle again for my pups needs.”
“Astrid is fantastic. She’s kind, knowledgeable, and was incredibly accommodating when I needed several visits in one day. My dog loved her right away, and it gives me so much peace of mind knowing she is being cared for so well. Highly recommend!”
“Hannah was very thorough in our Meet and Greet and our dog seemed to be already comfortable with her on the first meeting. Will definitely be contacting Hannah on an as need basis for our pups walks. 5 stars!”

After this experience, I will certainly be booking with April Again. Thank you so much for taking excellent care of my most precious girl!”

It's also great that she sometimes gets to hang with other pups while Paul watches her. She comes home tuckered out in all the best ways and it feels like she got a vacation, too!”
