“Serena inspires confidence in her ability to take care of your dogs from the moment you meet her. She clearly knows and enjoys dogs very much. I was delighted to find Serena and that she was able to fit our two dogs, Tiggy and Moose, into her busy schedule for Spring Break. They had a FABULOUS time - photos of them having fun romping in her huge backyard were sent daily. Clearly exhausted from day one but couldn't have been happier. Thank you to Serena and her family for being the best hosts. We're looking forward to the next time that we're away as we'll know our dogs will be in very capable and caring hands.”

My dog felt comfortable and happy in her care, and she went above and beyond to ensure every need was met. Her attention to detail, reliability, and warm personality truly set her apart. I am so grateful for her exceptional service and will definitely recommend her to anyone looking for top-notch care for their furry friends. Thank you, Nancy, for being so amazing!”
“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.”
“Carrie and Matthew were absolutely amazing! They were able to watch our pup on short notice and couldn’t have been more kind and accommodating.

We highly recommend them and will definitely be reaching out again for any future pet-sitting needs!”

“Lilly was extremely patient and truly showed her experience with our dog. When our dog shows signs of discomfort when she first arrived at Lilly's home, Lilly and her entire family showed a true understanding of dog behavior by giving our dog space and reading her emotions when approaching her. Lilly gave us constant updates and photos while we were away and never let us feel like our dog wasn't care for. I highly recommend Lilly and we will definitely be using her again in the future.”
“Yet again Rachel was amazing. This was our first overnight using Rachel (we have used her for daily care before). Our pup was so happy and well cared for. Communication was fantastic. We will definitely use Rachel again.”
“Musa took great care of our special needs geriatric pup The pictures he sent of Gizmo clearly showed a happy doggie being loved. Highly recommend Musa and will definitely request him again.”

Communication was excellent, with regular updates and photos that gave us real peace of mind. Jona is incredibly attentive, not just to our dog, but to all the dogs in her care, and creates a warm, comfortable environment where pets feel at home. We would happily book with Jona again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.”
“Hoa was great! Our dog was a happy pup staying with her. She had lots of toys for him to play with and puzzles to get treats! Very kind, loved all the pictures and videos she sent while we were away”

“Jing was wonderful! She took great care of my cat, Kiki. She provided updates and went above and beyond. I would definitely recommend Jing and would book in the future.”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Rachel was an absolute gem as our pet sitter! We hired her to care for our new kitten, Toto Wolff, and she exceeded every expectation. She followed all of our detailed instructions perfectly, including feeding schedule, litter maintenance, and playtime routines. What really stood out was how much genuine care and joy she brought to every visit. Rachel didn’t just pop in and out; she stayed extra time to play joyfully with Toto, keeping him happily entertained and making sure he felt loved while we were away. Our kitten was clearly thrilled with the attention and came out of his shell even more because of it. Rachel is professional, reliable, warm, and clearly passionate about animals. We felt completely at ease knowing Toto was in such fantastic hands. We’ll definitely be booking her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive pet sitter! Thank you, Rachel, you made our trip worry free!”
“Gabriella did a great job dropping in to care for our two cats for a week. She sent lots of pictures and videos, and she was very responsive. We will use her services again!”
“Laura took great care of our very particular, needy cat. She was patient and understanding. Sbe gave frequent updates about what was going on with our cat to include messages and pictures. Highly recommend her!”
“Sheila is the best! She has cared for our 2 cats a lot over the past two years and goes the extra mile for us. On our recent trip to overseas, the key that we left her broke, and she couldn't access the house, and was willing to help get a locksmith to help with entry! She is always prompt with her communications and puts us at ease when we leave. We don't even feel like we need to check for updates because we know Sheila is there! She has always offered to care for them further if our flights are delayed! We feel very lucky that we found Sheila through Rover and can't recommend her enough!”
“Gabrielle was the perfect sitter for our two cats. She fed them, cleaned their litter, and gave lots of snuggles and pets. She was also a phenomenal communicator, sending us detailed messages and several pictures each night. We definitely give her our highest recommendation and will be using her again next time.”
“Seth was absolutely amazing! The constant communication and the daily pictures and videos he sent make you very comfortable. When I came home everything was clean for my cat and left the place just like how we left it. I would definitely recommend Seth as I will be booking him more for the future”
About: I have owned dogs my entire life and am lucky to still be caring for my childhood dog (17 years old!). Because of this experience, I know some dogs require a routine schedule to make sure they continue to be happy and healthy. Every dog has a one of a kind personality and I love getting to know each dogs quirks and little joys! I will be working close to a 9-5 schedule around 4 days a week. I will be able to give potty breaks or walks before and/or after my work during the work week but I am much more flexible Friday-Sunday. I live in an apartment so I unfortunately cannot offer dog sitting at my place at this time. Because I live in an apartment, I make sure to give my dog morning and evening walks and can make sure your dog gets the same treatment!
“Both I and my cat really appreciate Katherine when I need a sitter. She is very thorough and follows all instructions and goes above and beyond where I know my baby will be in good care and I’ll be well informed on what’s going”
“The best Rover ever for my cats! Great, consistent communication about all her visits and Jiamin went above and beyond caring for my two little angels. I will definitely be booking again and would encourage anyone else to do the same!”
“Olivia is amazing. She takes great care of my two cats and played with them. She even gets the fussy one to eat! While I was gone, she gave me daily updates and photos so I didn't have to worry about them. I cannot recommend her more highly. She's a great person and worth trusting with your pets and your house.”
“Another great visit with denisa. Very thorough and always responsive. Kitty was really happy to see her and was very loved. Used her in past and will be using her every time we go away.”
“Miss Hannah is absolutely a pleasure to work with we could not recommend her more. Her care for our boys has been absolutely wonderful. She always truly cared for them. Whether it was their litter box is being full or make sure that they are comfortable and make sure they also had tons of love and playtime again we could not recommend her thank you so much Hannah🥹🙏🌷🌞😺😺✨🏡”

“Veronica always takes amazing care of our little Shih Tzu, Josie. She is very kind, and Josie gets so excited when it's time for her to go play with her furry friends! Thank you, Veronica!”
“Rebecca took care of my two fur babies, Melo and Lola for 10 days while we were away on vacation. She sent pictures and videos on a daily basis. Couldn’t ask for better care.”
“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.”
“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”
“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.”
“Jane was amazing. She did more than expected and beyond. I got daily photos and updates. Her daycare space is so beautiful. My dog Maxx had such a great time there. She took extra care of him. I would highly recommend her. Thank you Jane.”
“Eddie was very happy with his visit to Heather, she kept him busy (which he loves) and showed him all the attention he craves as well. Highly recommend Heather for everyone's fur babies.”
“We are so thankful to have found Jim. We had a last minute issue finding coverage for our 9 month old puppy for a day trip and he was able to take her for a day care day last minute. He sent us pictures of her throughout the day and she came home super happy and super exhausted. Jim is so accommodative and friendly and we are so thankful to have found him. We are planning to use his services for a longer vacation over the summer. Highly recommend Jim if you’re in need of someone to watch your furbaby.”
“Fritz always has the best time with ManYee and Hannah. It’s a good feeling to see him run to the elevator with her, not even looking back. And I always know he’s in the best care possible!”
About: I have currently have 2 dogs which I adore so much! I love playing with dogs and love spending time with then and other dogs in my neighborhood on my free time. I will ensure your dog feels at home and will take care of them as if they were my own. I currently work from home full time along with my fiancé. I wake up early to walk my dogs in the Morning before all my work calls and will take them out again usually at noon after my last call. I also have a third person (my mom who’s retired) that is free all day that watches the dogs when I’m in my office. The dogs usually are free to roam around the house and there’s usually a person on all 3 floors. I have a fenced back yard that the dogs can play if they like. I also have a large crate in my basement as well. There are at least 2 people at home most of the day that will watch the dogs play. I am very attentive when I dog watch and will play with the dogs and/or walk them on my free time.
“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!”
“We've been sending our dog to Wyatt's on a weekly basis for a few months now and it's been wonderful! He sends us photos of her playing around with her buddies in the large backyard, and she always seems happy and good-tired when she gets back home. We've also left her there for overnights; it's so good having a place you can feeling comfortable leaving your dog if you have to head out of town. Would definitely recommend Wyatt to anyone!”
“Jona did a fantastic job caring for Silly this week. Silly loved going to Jona’s house and definitely came home more well-mannered. Jona did a great job working with Silly and her needs. I highly recommend and will be bringing Silly girl back for sure!”
“Rasmus and Elsa went back to David’s for the second time today. When we brought them, they couldn’t wait to get in an greeted David with a lot of tail wags, hugs, and kisses. They again had an amazing time. David is very sweet with them. They love him!”
“I highly reccomend Tamara. We were first time vistors to the area, and she was very accommodating when our plans changed last minute, was helpful answering our questions about the area, and was understanding when traveling back from D.C. took longer then we anticipated. Most importantly, my nervous dog settled in very quickly and was very comfortable staying with her, and I picked him up relaxed and happy.”
“Adriana has been an amazing sitter for Rosie! Rosie is always excited to see her, which gives me peace of mind whenever I leave her in Adriana’s care. She is responsible, reliable, and incredibly accommodating, and I always know Rosie will be well cared for. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter.”

“Ben has been a real blessing helping us walking Rocco. He responded last minute requests and it’s always very punctual and professional. Our dog Rocco loves to go on walks with him, he gets all excited every time he sees Ben and comes back happy and ready to nap after walking with Ben. Thanks a lot!”
“First time having Lauren walk Frida. Everything went well. I received pictures from their walk. Frida enjoyed her walk. Frida and mom would definitely like to have Lauren walk her again.”
“Nicole is absolutely amazing to my pups! She covered everything in our first meet and greet and was super flexible with last minute changes. She takes such good care of the dogs and is sure to give them both some individual love and attention. Definitely recommend her for all your dog care needs!”
“Denisa was extremely helpful, understanding, and loving 🥰. She went above and beyond to ensure I was receiving text messages during my trip where I didn’t have access to Wi-Fi. I had a very relaxing vacation time knowing my furry child was in great hands! She also used her language skills to communicate with my mom, who doesn’t speak English, and maintained open communication regarding schedule changes and other challenges we faced. My child is one of those stubborn ones, however, she did what a good pet sitter would do, but she added love ❤️, fun and joy to Polito’s potty time. Every picture and video she shared, showed a super excited and happy child! I highly recommend her! 🥰🐶💕🐾”
About: I started caring for dogs in 2017 when my family welcomed our first dog into our home. Since then, I’ve gained experience caring for my neighbors’ and friends’ dogs, providing them with attention, companionship, walks, and loving care. In 2024, I welcomed my own dog, Milo, a mini Goldendoodle who has helped me grow even more as a pet owner. I truly understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I treat every pet with the same love, patience, and care I give my own. Taking care of pets is already a part of my everyday life with my dog Milo. I enjoy going on walks, playing, and making sure he feels happy and cared for. I love creating a safe and loving environment for pets, and I’m excited to bring that same care and attention to your furry family member. I care for pets by making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I like to follow their normal routine, whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, or just giving them some extra attention and company. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I treat every dog like I would treat my own dog, Milo. I’m also happy to send updates and pictures so you can feel reassured that your pet is having a great time while you’re away.
“Adelle is a great dog walker - she shows up on time and always gets the job done. I would recommend her to anyone seeking a pet sitter - she does a great job with my baby chihuahua Peaches. Because of her my little pup actually got potty trained faster and doesn’t go to the bathroom inside anymore.”
“Our dog normally is apprehensive around new people, and it usually takes him a while to warm up and feel comfortable. This just wasn't the case with Gabi, he took to her immediately! Gabi seems to have a genuine understanding and affection for animals, which seems to have made all of the difference for our dog. Words can't do justice to how grateful we are to have someone we trust help care for our boy!”
“Our family booked Jenesis because we had an off month of work schedules and she was able to go above and beyond for us. Jenesis was incredible with our two large pups. She was so patient with them on days they had extra wiggles and she was an excellent communicator with my family. She took them on long walks everyday and they both got much better on leash because of Jenesis. If we ever need a dog walker again we will absolutely be reaching out to her and suggest you all do the same! I cannot say enough good things about Jenesis! Maple and Raja love you!”
About: What sets me apart is that I’m not just a sitter—I’m a dog mom myself, so I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pup with someone. I treat every dog like they’re my own, with genuine love, patience, and attention to detail. Whether your pet needs playtime, cuddles, or just a calm presence, I’m here to give them the same care and comfort they’d get at home. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give your pet the attention they deserve. I’m available for early morning walks, midday drop-ins, and evening snuggles. I also offer overnight care for those who need a loving presence while they’re away. My routine can easily be tailored around your pet’s feeding, walking, and potty schedule. Pet care is a huge part of my life — it’s not something I fit in, it’s something I prioritize. From daily walks with my own dogs to checking in on client pups, I dedicate specific time each day to ensure every dog gets quality care, play, and attention. I always plan my day around their needs, not the other way around. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, safety and comfort always come first. I create a calm, structured environment and supervise interactions closely. I keep a close eye during walks, use secure leashes, and never leave pets unattended. In your home, I respect your space and routines, following any special instructions you leave. I also send plenty of updates, photos, and videos so you always feel connected and reassured.
“David was great with our pup. I was definitely nervous leaving our pup with someone since moving back to the area. David eased that anxiety and took great care of our pup. Thanks so much, David!”
“Josie is amazing. She is brave and just uses the old fashioned leash. She does not like the retractable leash and neither do I. Enzo and I will miss her when she goes back to school.”
“Melianna has been a huge help to our family! She provides open communication to us (as dog parents) and a great experience for our pup! We have truly valued her services time and time again!”
“Amanda is wonderful! She took such good care of my little Holly ☺️ She arrived on time and was super communicative and sent lots of pictures! I’ll definitely book with Amanda again!”
“Hannah is absolutely awesome! I booked her for a week to care for King, and she was incredibly timely, engaging, and focused on his needs every single day. She provided detailed notes after each visit, sent wonderful photos during their walks, and even left a sweet, handwritten thank-you note at the end of the booking. To top it off, when another walker had a last-minute transportation emergency this morning, I contacted Hannah, and she went completely out of her way to come out and help us on short notice. She is always responsive, highly professional, and truly cares about King. I cannot recommend her enough!”

“Bonnie is a delightful person and provided excellent care for our dog during an overnight stay in her home. He seemed relaxed from the photos she sent, and that’s not always the case when he’s somewhere new. She sent updates and photos at reasonable times.”

“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!”
“Jizelle was fantastic! This was our first time boarding Whitney using Rover (or ever for that matter) and Jizelle made everything so easy. From initial communication, to meeting her and her lovely pups at the meet and greet, all of our interactions with Jizelle confirmed that Whitney was in great hands while we were away. Jizelle was also very flexible with a last minute request to shift the drop off earlier than planned and provided us with regular photos and updates to let us know how things were going - she even braved foot high snow and ice to ensure that Whitney had adequate walks and fresh air following a once-in-a-decade snowmageddon! I 100% plan to utilize Jizelle's boarding services going forwards and would not hesitate to give her my strongest recommendation.”
“Heather is amazing! She watched over my dog for about a week. My dog has food allergies and is on a prescription diet. Heather followed directions and provided updates by communicating throughout her stay. I will definitely be using her services again. Highly recommend!”
“Dana and her family were fantastic. They took excellent care of my furry boy over the long 4th of July weekend, sending frequent updates, pictures, and videos. I will definitely recommend them and use their services again. Thank you for providing a home away from home for our pup. He was so happy and loved. :)”
“I can't say enough good things about Jennifer after watching my 1-year-old golden retriever, Penny, for 10 days over the holidays. She was very responsive and communicative from start to finish, and sent me daily updates and photos that kept me completely at ease. She made sure to address all of my dog's needs and gave her so much love and attention. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter.”
“We thought we were going on vacation - nope, our dogs had the vacation of their lives!!! They love Mary and she clearly loves animals. Our beagle actually moped on the ride home 😂🤣”
“Jennifer is such a kind soul and a great pick to watch my pup! She was super responsive and also gave updates while I was gone, leaving me at ease while I left my shy dog in her care. Her dog JJ was also super laid back and the perfect company for Fergie.”
