“Great sitter, took care of our pup while we were out of town. She sent picture and updates daily keeping us at ease that our Bailey was in good hands. Will use again for future trips.”
“This is the first time I used this app. I was very pleased from the “meet and greet” to the time I dropped off my pet for boarding. I received pics every day. This kept me connected with my pet. Nancy took good care of my pet. I will use her again.”
“Sabine was so wonderful! She was ultra communicative leading up to hosting Lady and throughout Lady's entire stay. Sabine sent us tons of updates and photos, which as obsessed dog parents we absolutely love!! We would 100% recommend using Sabine to care for your fur baby, we would definitely use her again when we're in the area!”
“This was our first time leaving our fur baby with a sitter and couldn't have left him in better hands. Shadow had a blast with Jenn and pretty much had a doggy vacation. He went on multiple walks throughout the day and enjoyed playtime with the other dogs. Jenn was sure to send us videos and pictures of shadow throughout the entire stay and communicated the entire time. I look forward to booking with her for future occasions and would highly recommend her services.”
“Very attentive with photos and updates! I was hesitant as this was my first time using Rover, but Kalyn put all my worries to bed, and even let me bring Ayla for an informal meet and greet with her dogs prior to Ayla's care there. Kayla was a dream to correspond with, and a wonderful caregiver! 10+++ stars.”
“Gail watched my baby (Clover) and I couldn’t be anymore excited to post this review! She took care of Clover like she was her own, she sent me 5-7 photos a day and updated me on how she was doing! 10/10 recommend Gail. I will be using her again to watch my baby the next time I go out of town!”
“Excellent service! Jim was kind, reliable, and very caring. Everything went smoothly, and I really appreciated the updates. I highly recommend him and would definitely book again.”
“Mary watched my two dogs a total of four times for three days at a time, and I waited till the last visit to write a review. Mary is absolutely awesome. My youngest can be a handful at times, but Mary is extremely patient, caring, and truly just loves dogs. I received a message from Mary on the second visit that my dog threw up and was not feeling good. She asks me if she can boil chicken breast and rice for him to have something easier on the stomach. This just made me feel good about leaving them in her care and that she had his best interest. She truly wants the best for them. She is the first person my dog has ever ran up to invitingly and was not timid of. I will definitely be going back to Mary if I’m in need of a good dog sitter.”
“We were able to meet with Vanessa and Geoffrey ahead of the booking and everything went smoothly! They have a nice set up for the dogs and provide pics/videos to update you each day. I also appreciate them for being able to accommodate our last minute request. We would use them again!”
“Sarah has been such a great sitter to our super energetic and playful dog, Tex. She is patient and kind and always sends us updates which gives us peace of mind while we’re away. Thanks for being so wonderful to our dog, Sarah!”
“Tracey is wonderful! She is very flexible and has agreed to watch our pups last minute. Tracey watched a new dog for us without hesitation and went above and beyond! We are so thankful for her! Highly recommend!”
“We are repeat users of Lilly as she not only takes amazing care of our dogs, she also knows that we appreciate updates and pics. The daily snaps of the dogs at her house relaxing make leaving them easier because we can see that the dogs are being spoiled. This was their third visit and the dogs even greeted her as a dear friend. I was better able to enjoy my vacation because I knew my dogs were happy. I highly recommend Lilly!!”
“Stephanie was very responsive and receptive to a meet and greet before booking. I was nervous, as our dog was still recovering from surgery, but at the meet and greet, Stephanie made me feel very comfortable and was very accommodating to Sasha. She was very open to our weird schedules for drop off and pick up. We will definitely book her again!”
“Rosalina was awesome. I had someone cancel on me and she was able to accept the job very last minute. She sent so many pictures each day. I would definitely recommend and use her services again.”
“As always, Kimberly is fantastic. She has very good communication and we trust her so so much! Our little guy can be difficult, so we are very thankful to have found her to watch him.”
“Veronica was awesome. Very easy to deal with. Our meet and greet went well, and she was flexible on the drop off and pick up times. We received photos of our dogs each day. This was our first time traveling without our dogs. We were nervous. Veronica made us feel comfortable. We will use her again.”
“Paula watched my Oso for 9 days & I could not have asked for anyone better. We did an initial meet & greet with her two dogs who were friendly and playful. Paula followed all instructions: feedings, meds, leashes etc. she was very communicative keeping me up to date with multiple photos a day and tracking of their walks. Just above and beyond care! Super happy with the care given & cannot recommend her enough! 🐾💛”
“My dog Sammy loves staying with Luz. Her dogs, Professor and Chickenleigh are very sweet and kept Sammy company during his stay. Luz was very attentive and sent me pictures everyday. Highly recommend!”
“Barry and his wife took tremendous care of our pup! They are friendly and treat every dog they care for as their own. Barry was responsive and provided photo updates. Seeing how comfortable and happy our dog was reassured us that she was in good hands. We will not hesitate to book with them again in the future!”

“Stefanie recently took care of my 8 cats! Yes, 8! 5 adult cats and three babies (4-5 week olds). I was stressing about leaving them, but then I found Stefanie on Rover and knew that they would be in great hands with her. She was extremely responsive, asked great questions and followed instructions perfectly. She provided updates and feedback after each visit as well as pictures! Because of the babies and the fact that the momma cat needed to eat multiple times a day, I had Stefanie come over 3 times a day to check on them and feed. She was very professional and I would recommend her to anyone that has fur babies that need loving care while you're away. Thank you, Stefanie! Gizmo, Gidget, Murloc, Merlin, Gamora, Pumpkin Cupcake, PBC and Baby Kit all miss you and greatly appreciate the care you gave them! Shannon”
“Denisa is promt in her commuincation and paid special attention to our care instructions and took wonderul care of our 2 kitties and is helpful in cleaning up after the kitties and brining in packages while we are away. We will be sure to hire her again for future trips away.”
“This is probably the best sitter I have ever used on Rover for my cat, she even brought in some packages I had delivered! Very thoughtful, caring sitter and she pays close attention to details. My senior cat is happy with her ☺️”
“We hired Samantha to care for our two cats while we were on vacation, and she was an absolute dream to work with. She communicated with us every single day, sharing photos and updates about how they were doing. It gave us total peace of mind knowing our cats were in such great hands. To top it all off, when our return flight got delayed, Samantha truly came to the rescue. Without hesitation, she was able to accommodate our last-minute change and dropped in an additional three times to make sure our cats were taken care of. We are so incredibly grateful for her flexibility and dedication. We will definitely be booking Samantha every single time we go out of town.”
“They were amazing!! Our cats were well cared for, and we received several photos and videos of our cats :) We would heavily recommend that you go with Amanda for all your pet sitting needs!!”
“Melissa took great care of my kitties while I was away! My cats have very different personalities (one very energetic and the other very mellow), and they both seemed to love getting to spend time with her during her drop-in visits! She provided awesome photos and reports, including photos of clean litter boxes and full water dispensers, which helped provide additional peace of mind. You can definitely trust that your pets are in good hands with Melissa!”
“Ty was amazing with my two cats! I would highly recommend Ty to anyone who needs a pet sitter. My cats warmed up to Ty so quickly and I could tell Ty really cared for them and it put my mind at ease while I was away!”
“Finding Melissa and having her help care for and pamper Sky during these days has been a true blessing. Both my cat Sky and my family clicked with her immediately. Melissa is incredibly loving and empathetic, as well as helpful and proactive. She kept us posted on everything. We are so grateful for her excellent support. The fact that she is bilingual adds even more value to her work. Thank you so much, Melissa! 🙏🏼”
“Thank you so much for watching out kitties. You are absolutely amazing when you care for them as if they were your own. I highly recommend Grace to any other pet parents she is absolutely fantastic with animals 🙏🥹. Thank you again for everything.”
“Taylor is a great sitter! She took good care of our cat while we are away from home. She is always responsive and very pleasant to communicate with. We love her photos and notes about our cat, and we are so happy that we have found her on Rover!”
“Fantastic! Laura did a great job with our three kitties while we had to be away. We loved all the great pictures, and the babies were very loved in our absence. We wouldn't hesitate to have Laura watch them again!”
“Once again Paige was excellent! So genuinely concerned for my babies as though they are her own. The updates she gives are so far above and beyond. All the photos make me so happy to see while I am away. She is detailed and thorough! I am so thankful she has cared for my babies. They love her!!”
“Adriane was WONDERFUL. we are so appreciative of her care for our two cats! She is very communicative, responsive, kind, and the girls loved her!!! We will definitely have her back again!”
“Taylor was very flexible and took great care of our cat Billy. This was our first time needing a petsitter, and it was a huge relief for us to know he was in good hands while we were gone. I would definitely rebook with her in the future!”
About: I have personal experience raising my bluenose American Staffordshire Terrier for six years. I recently lost my fur son on April 10th. I am very comfortable taking care of high energy, strong, and high-needs dogs. I also have a lot of experience working with small dogs, as I have grown up with 3 mini dachshunds and regularly volunteered at animal shelters growing up. I am comfortable with cat care, as I helped to take care of my roommate's Ragdoll for three years and have helped with cat sitting for multiple friends. I grew up doing competitive horseback riding and have experience in equine care. I love animals and I have fun pampering them! I work from 10-5, but am available any time before or after that for walks and pet sitting. My hours are generally consistent. I am free on weekends as well! For pet walking, I ensure a minimum of 20 minutes total. I like to allow your pet for time to sniff, exercise, and/or practice commands. Before I leave the house, I also ensure the pet is relaxed and comfortable, and that water has been refreshed.

“Vanessa and Geoffrey were so kind and professional with the initial meet and greet for doggy daycare. They sent lots of updates and pictures to put my mind at ease. This was our first in-home dog care experience, and we will definitely be back!”
“Thank you so much for looking after my Chewy! He came back very happy and Well taken care off! I got 2 pictures of how he was doing and was told how he was when I came to pick him up. Would definitely rebook again whenever I get the chance!”
“My dog and I just moved to a new area so I was anxious about finding someone to watch him while we get settled. Jennifer and Justin were so kind and sent me plenty of photos throughout the day. They even very kindly washed his bowl after he ate his food. My dog had an amazing time and I would trust them to watch him again”
“Your pup will have a great time at Ms Jessica's! She is a pleasure to work with - clear, communicative, prompt and provides a fun and enriching time for the dogs in her care. My dog has GRRRREAT time when stays with her! He comes home happy and tired each time.”
“Nancy took such good care of Jasper! My sweet dog is a rescue, and can have pretty severe separation anxiety while I'm away. I was in town for a wedding, and wanted to know that Jasper was well cared for and had someone to hang out with all day. Nancy understood exactly what Jasper needed, and I returned to a happy and relaxed dog. I will definitely book with Nancy again next time we're in town.”
“m was incredibly accommodating and kind while caring for Sammi during daycare while I ran errands. Since Sammi is recently post-op, I was nervous about leaving her, but Jim was more than willing to learn exactly how to care for her and follow all of her special instructions. He was patient, attentive, and made me feel completely comfortable knowing she was in good hands. I really appreciated how understanding he was of her needs during recovery. I would absolutely trust him with Sammi again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for dependable and compassionate care”
“This is the first time we used Rover for our Labradoodle Thor, and Heather was so responsive and so caring. I loved how she sent pictures to show us what he was up to and she always answered every one of our questions. She also accommodated our early drop off and late pick up which I truly appreciated. Highly recommend!”
“Ann and Rick made my dog Winnie feel right at home and took great care of her during our recent very long day first visit. I received reports and photos during the day, which I very much appreciated. Even though we had done a successful meet and great beforehand and Winnie trotted into their house with only a brief look back, they felt she was a bit nervous and adjusted her day accordingly. I look forward to future bookings.”
“Corey is so easy to work with - quick responses and was available on short notice and we are so grateful for that! Our dogs were in great care and got walks and loving. Will definitely be rebooking!”
“Christy is everything you would want your Rover host to be. Logistically she checked all the boxes living not too far from major highway I took to my office. Easy to drop off/pick up and get back on the highway again. She responded quickly when I made an inquiry about a weekly daycare hosting for my shy miniature poodle. She demonstrated kindness and patience when our Meet and Greet began later than scheduled. During his stay, Christy texted pictures of Blinky going on a long walk or playing in the backyard. Lovely family took very good care of him. On the second day, I dropped Blinky off, he rushed through the front door without looking back. To me that said a lot because Blinky was not a social butterfly by any stretch of imagination. I can whole heartily give Christy five stars, just for that alone!”
“I truly enjoyed Audree, she took real good care of my pup, even through his anxiety. She made him feel right at home. So much so he didn’t want to leave. Thank you for all you do for the pups.”

“Peace could not have had more fun with Michelle and Cinnamon running around in their very spacious back yard. It was a rainy day, but Peace didn't want to come inside. Michelle did a great job communicating to me and made sure Peace was dry when I picked her up. I seriously haven't seen Peace so excited about a daycare visit.”

My dogs loved her and I will use her again and highly recommend her . Love the pics and the FU. Thank you for the best experience.”
“Melissa is a wonderful sitter! We use her all the time for the cat, but this was the first time we used her for dog-walking and she was just as great! So attentive to our pup.”
“Our pups are our babies, so trusting strangers with them can be difficult, but Erica has made this process extremely easy and stress-free. We could not be more grateful for her attention to detail, expertise and love for Jarvis and Opie during their walks! She has been extremely thorough with updates and looking after their individual needs each time she stops by. We highly recommend Erica for any and all of your fur baby's needs!! ☺️?”
“Lohan is wonderful with King. He’s on time and reliable. One day it rained and he was concerned with King being comfortable in the weather conditions. King is excited for his walks with Lohan, as he wakes me up early to get him ready and then he patiently waits by the door. Lohan is very good with communicating with me and keeps me updated. I absolutely love the pictures I receive every morning. I would definitely recommend Lohan.”

She went above and beyond to make sure our pup was walked, fed, and well cared for. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our dog was in such kind and reliable hands. Megan was communicative, dependable, and truly showed that she cares about the pets she looks after. We are incredibly grateful for her help and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter. Thank you so much, Megan!”
About: I have been taking care of dogs for the last 11 years, I am a full time GMU student but I’m flexible with my schedule! I am a full time student at GMU but my classes are spread out so I have a lot of time to work with. I’m very willing to work something out to ensure your fur babies get good care. I will respect your home and house rules when dropping in or taking the pets for walks. I like to stay on routine to ensure the fur babies get good time to go outside, walk, play and feeding, crating or even cleaning up after them. I will also send pictures with updates.
“Melissa was great. My dog doesn’t always walk well for new people and he took to her right away. She took the time to come by for a meet and greet and we were really impressed!”

“Zuri was treated like a princess during her 3 week stay. She got loving attention from Serena, and was so happy playing with the other pups that we felt guilty bringing her home to just us! Serena is a true professional. She treats her pups and their parents with sensitivity, care and joy in her work.”
“Kelly is AWESOME! She's a joy to work with and her communication is exemplary (including pictures). Additionally, my dogs (about 200 lbs for the both of them) loved their visit, getting a ton of activity and attention. Already looking forward to the next visit!”
“Our dog Reese had a great time with Mickey and his dogs. We love that Mickey has a training background and we didn't have to worry about Reese coming back with any bad behaviors. In fact, Mickey knows how to handle Reese better than we do. Another very important part to us is that Reese was hanging out with a loving family and not just kept in a crate. We will definitely board with Mickey again.”
“We’re very happy with the service. There was good and quick communication. And we appreciated the daily pictures. Our beagle seemed to enjoy himself and feel right at home! Would recommend!”
“Marina was very flexible in terms of setting up a meet and greet and the actual dog sitting stay as well. Marina’s home seems like a very happy place for dogs. Marina is good about staying in touch and sending pictures. Our girl Nata seemed to have had a nice stay and we certainly would use Marina again if she was available and interested. We appreciate you Marina!”
“Ollie has the best time with Donna and always comes back so happily tired! And we love all the adorable updates she sends. Ollie is excited to head back to Donna’s next week for more fun!!”
