“Tatiana has been excellent the two time that I sought her services. The last time was under very short notice, so it was immensely appreciated. She keeps you well l informed every day with photos and videos and is endearing to the pets. I highly recommend Tatiana and trust her with my pet.”
“Frankie had the best time at Karen’s while I was in town for a wedding! She sent me pictures and updates throughout the night. This was Frankie’s first Rover experience and I can’t lie - I was nervous about his separation anxiety. When I picked him up in the morning it was clear that he felt so comfortable around her and that made me so happy. 10/10 would book again!”
“This is an absolutely fantastic choice for a dog-sitter, in my mind. Leslie was loving, caring and she treated Frances, my terrier-dachshund with the closest and kindest attention—plenty of walks, balanced diet, happy human company to sleep with when she desired, and various places to rest—so Leslie passed those all those important measures.She also sent me photographs with comments fairly often, which delighted me and made me know that Frances was safe and happy! But then, of Great value was the fact that she always could find positive human companionship—her cousin came, and let Frances and another dog, sleep on his knee, looking utterly content, her roommate really liked Frances and showed it, and Leslie did too. AND there was always her dog, and then occasionally a neighbor’s dog or another client’s dog visiting for a number of hours. That was Heaven for Frances, and just what I was hoping for. A place where Frances could be, as Leslie put it, a member of a pack. NOT a large, in any way overwhelming pack, but a small pack, consisting of one or two or conceivably three other dogs, which she could be with. THAT and the essential human warmth which was very much present—was all I could dream of—and Leslie provided it. Thank you so, so much. I will definitely use her services again! Leslie is cause for peace of mind, great happiness and satisfaction for Frances and me.”
“Andrew took great care of our dog Apollo. I was apprehensive about using Rover for the first time, but Andrew quickly eased my concerns with his responsive messages and meet & greet with our dog. Apollo looked very content and well cared for when we picked him up - we’d definitely book with Andrew again and would recommend him to my friends!”
“Jennifer is the best! I have a (highly emotional) Great Dane who gets stressed when I leave but I can tell in every photo she sends how happy and spoiled he is! I feel so comfortable leaving him with Jennifer which is a great feeling to have.”
“Everything about boarding our fur baby with Shiva was 5 star perfection. From our meet and greet to drop off and pick up we knew we were in excellent hands. Our dog was relaxed and happy with Shiva and her other pups. It’s obvious that Shiva knows and loves dogs! Shiva’s house and yard are great for any dog to exercise and explore. Our dog was instantly at ease at her home and it’ was a pleasure to go away knowing our dog was in Shiva’s care. She provides excellent updates and photos at the end of every day so you can go to bed knowing your dog is happy and safe. Shiva was an excellent communicator. We will definitely book with her again.”
“Joanna and John are excellent. I never worry about my dog when she’s with them. Great backyard, plenty of play time and cuddle time. Even when Sandy is sassy, Joanna has great, patience and skill in dealing with all of Sandy’s moods. Joanna has a great ability to also train the dog and break dogs bad habits. Highly recommend them to anyone with a small dog!”
“Right from the beginning, Leah was fantastic. She communicated with me very promptly and politely, and she was easy to connect with. She followed the instructions for our dog and took great care of him while we were gone with walks and love. She also sent lots of pictures and videos. When we picked our dog up I told Leah, next time we go out of town, I will definitely be calling her first!”
“Kirin was wonderful with my dog, Kya. He watched her twice for several days each while I was visiting family. He was easy to communicate with and was really attentive to Kya’s high energy nature and puppy tendencies (I’m sure his two goldens helped with that too 🤣). I was able to relax and enjoy my travels, knowing she was in good hands.”
“Our big poodle had an amazing time with Amethyst. She listened to all our concerns about his anxiety and she was extremely accommodating about keeping him comfortable. We feel like he is so safe and cared for with her and look forward to letting him stay with her in the future.”
“I can't say enough great things about Lauren and her family! She's very caring and communicative, keeping us updated when our pup was suffering a bit of an upset stomach and taking care of him like he was her own.”
“This was our first time using this sitter, and we had a great experience! They were very nice and took great care of my dog. He seemed happy and comfortable, and we would definitely consider booking with them again”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care Baxter received from Ray! Since this was our first time leaving Baxter with Ray, we were a little nervous, especially since Baxter was staying for only two days. But Ray immediately made us feel comfortable and reassured us that Baxter was in good hands. Throughout his stay, Ray kept us updated with pictures and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was wonderful seeing Baxter looking happy, relaxed, and comfortable. Ray was attentive to his needs, gave him plenty of love and attention, and made sure he was well cared for. When we picked Baxter up, he was happy and completely at ease, which told us everything we needed to know. We could tell he had a great time and was genuinely cared for. Thank you, Ray, for taking such wonderful care of Baxter and making his first stay with you such a positive experience. We truly appreciate the updates, love, and attention you gave him. We’re so glad we found someone we can trust, and we would definitely book with you again!”
“Sujan is a fantastic sitter. He takes such good care of our dog Rufus. You can tell he loves dogs and really cares about their happiness and health. Rufus is always so excited to see him and comes back happy and relaxed. Sujan is so sweet and follows up with us after rufus has been home a few days. He really cares about your dog and I would absolutely recommend him to anyone.”
“Alana was always prompt and professional during our interactions. Even in the midst of her family emergency that arose during our reservation, she ensured our furry family member was well taken care of. Highly recommended and would use her again.”
“Ali was a great pet sitter for our little Louis! We were sent an update with pictures every day and came home to a happy and healthy pup! He even came home with a new toy, thank you Ali!”

“Christine was super punctual, took care of my baby boy, and even took care of some things around the house. 10/10 highly recommend. Would love to have her cat sit again!”
“Laura was great and took care of our cats while we were away (back to back wedding weekends). The cats were happy and loved her. Would definitely rebook with her in the future!”
“Skylar was the perfect person to do drop-in visits for our two cats. Skylar was very professional and respectful when doing the initial visits and had a general curiosity about the cats. I highly recommend him; we appreciate the help, Skylar!”
“Alexa is seriously the best sitter of all time! She took incredible care of my Bengal cat Noah. She is a true cat whisperer and she was so responsive, so caring, and would send me updates and photos. I have never trusted someone more to care for my baby cat. Do yourself a favor and book her!!”
“Rachel was amazing with my 2 cats. She spent time playing with them every day and sent me photos and videos everyday as well. She is a great communicator! Highly recommend.”
“Jenn was great and took great care of my two cats while we were away on vacation. She went above and beyond what was asked of her and even vacuumed 🤭 She was very communicative and a great problem solver when our litter robot had a small malfunction.”
“Leah, thanks so much for taking good care of my cat, Bagheera! I appreciate the photos and updates. Thanks also for doing your best to clean when she vomited- I know that was an extra hassle.”

“Paige is so wonderful with our cats and we are lucky to have her take care of them. She's conscientious and sends such adorable pictures of them. I highly recommend her if you need a pet sitter.”
“Shauna was great with our 2 cats. She was willing to show up twice a day to give Max his medication which is hard to find. They were well taken care of and healthy and happy when we got back.”
“Raquel was amazing! She stepped in on short notice and took great care of Ivy! She was very communicative and went above and beyond in treating her as if she as her own! Highly recommend!”
“Erin consistently goes above and beyond! She’s flexible, considerate, caring, and just the best cat sitter you can think of. I’m pretty sure our cats think of Erin as their second mom& best friend now. Thank you, Erin!”
About: Hi I’m Todd a recently retired professional looking to fill my schedule with caring for both dogs and cats. I have a very open schedule so no rushing off to an office or leaving your pet alone for long hours. I provide reliable, calm, and attentive care for dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes. I am highly responsible, communicative, and ready to follow your pet's specific routine as needed. There are many paths around my house, which are great for walking dogs. I am not working so I am very flexible in terms of my schedule. I am usually available during most times of the day or even on short notice if needed. I live in a three level townhouse in Reston with a deck and a small backyard that backs to woods. I do not have any pets of my own, but several of my neighbors have pets.
About: I grew up with dogs and still love being a caregiver to this day. Currently, I am a regular dog-sitter for two families in Washington, D.C. who have dogs with special needs. I am also a regular dog sitter for my family in rural Pennsylvania so love taking long walks and exploring new places. I currently work from home full-time, but am a part-time graduate student as well. Generally, I am in my home all day but leave for occassional evening courses (no longer than 4-5 hours). Otherwise, I am flexible and have the ability to be present nearly all day. I live in a pet-friendly apartment complex with a fenced courtyard. While the dog will never be off-lease in this area, it is helpful for late night potty breaks and a little fresh air. I am .2 miles from the Bundi Dog Park which is open daily for 7 am - 7 pm. I am also able to travel to any area of D.C. due to my work schedule and flexibility so I can even watch your pet in your home! I also offer ALL the cuddles and plenty of love.

“Kiran and his dogs Mysti and Maya were great company for my 65 lb lab-pitt mix Dudley. Dudley would run to the door every morning waiting to go see them and return home in the evening satisfied and tired. Kiran is super friendly and considerate. I hurt my leg one evening, on my way home from work, and Kiran was kind enough to squeeze in one extra walk right before I retrieved Dudley to get him to poop so I wouldn’t have to with my bum leg. This is after he kept Dudley for a very long day. I highly recommend his services and am saving him to my « favorites » list. :) Thank you, Kiran!”
“Jennifer hosted our dog for doggy daycare. He had an absolute blast and became best friends with her and her lovely dog Sunny. Jennifer sent cute pictures and great, detailed updates. Our dog can’t wait to return!”
“Todd was awesome! My dog is a bit special and takes time to get used to new people. I did a short daycare session with Todd to get them acquainted and they were buds by the end of the visit! He is very patient and took his time to meet my dogs needs - highly recommend!”
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs and cats my entire life, caring for them from their energetic puppyhood to their gentle senior years. Over the years, I’ve regularly pet-sat for friends and family. Raised with a deep love for animals—a passion passed down from my grandmother—I’ve spent years rescuing, fostering, and caring for pets of all personalities and needs. My husband and I currently share our home with a senior dog, an adult dog, and a cat. Since I am at home during the day and my husband also works remotely several days a week, your pet will get plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship. I look forward to meeting your furry family members! I'm usually at home during the day so I'm flexible to include you pet and I have a rutine with my dogs that include 2-3 walks a day and potty breaks in the backyard on demand. I have a fully fenced back yard where the dogs can explore unleashed and two dogs to make yours company. Also there are plenty walkables areas nearby for them to enjoy outdoors.
About: We’re a dependable mother–daughter pet-sitting team with 30 years of combined experience caring for, training, fostering, and loving animals of all shapes and sizes. 🐾 Over the years, we’ve cared for dogs, puppies, cats, kittens, birds, fish, and many other pets. Our own family has included Whippets, Labs, Shepherds, Mastiffs, Basset Hounds, and Chihuahua mixes, and as sitters and fosters we’ve cared for many more breeds—including Bulldogs, Retrievers, Huskies, Poodles, Mountain Dogs, Great Danes, and plenty of wonderful mixed breeds. 🐕 🐕🦺 🦮 🐩 One of us is working toward dog-training certification, and we both have puppy-training experience. 🦮🚶♀️ We gently reinforce good habits, routines, and leash manners through patience, consistency, TLC, and positive handling. Most importantly, we understand that every pet has its own personality, pace, and needs. As home owners ourselves who have lived in three different neighborhoods in the DMV, we specialize in providing attentive, respectful, and reliable care while keeping your pets comfortable in the surroundings they know best--your home! When your pet stays with us, they become part of the family. Our home is set up with safety and comfort in mind, with a secure fenced yard, indoor gates, and separate spaces when pets need a little room of their own. Our designated pet areas—including our family room—are cleaned at least once daily and stocked with plenty of blankets, toys, and chew toys. 🪢 🥎 🧺 (See photos attached to our profile). Our cats stay comfortably upstairs, giving them their own space away from visiting dogs. Most important, someone is always home with your pets. They get lots of companionship, attention, affection, and access to our outdoor space whenever they want it. What we offer with our services: 🏡 Fenced yard 👩👧 Mother–daughter care team with 30 years combined experience 🏠 Someone is always home 🐶 No more than 2 dogs/families boarded at one time 🎓 Dog-training experience/certification in progress 🐕 Experience with everything from Chihuahuas to Great Danes ❤️ Dogs treated as part of the family Mom is the primary sitter, with her daughter—an apprentice vet and lifelong animal lover—often helping out. We’d love to provide reliable care for your pets at home or welcome them into our home! ❤️ We are currently working flexible hours and one of us is out of school for the summer, so we have plenty of time and flexibility to play with your pups! When we welcome you pets into our home, someone is always home with them. We are experienced dog walkers comfortable caring for pets in urban, suburban, park, and country settings. Whether your dog enjoys neighborhood walks, park outings, or a calmer pace, we adjust to each pet’s personality, energy level, and routine. For pet sitting in our home, we have a gated kitchen/family room area where pets can stay safely with us, as well as a fenced patio where they can get fresh air and companionship. We have the ability to separate your pets from other pets if that helps them feel secure. We can also crate your pet if that is part of their normal routine or helps them feel secure.
About: I've had pets my whole life and know how much it matters to leave yours somewhere you trust. Your dog will be part of the household here — not crated in a back room — with plenty of attention, a regular routine, and photo updates so you know how the day is going. A few things to know about my setup: I have a yard, but it isn't fenced, so all potty breaks and outdoor time are leashed and supervised. Never off-leash. I have one dog of my own, a friendly female Bernedoodle named Dorothy. She's good with other dogs, and I'm happy to do a meet-and-greet first to make sure everyone gets along. I work from home, so your dog won't be alone for long stretches. Comfortable with puppies, senior dogs with special needs, and everything in between. For walks, I'll stick to whatever route and pace your dog is used to, and I'll let you know how it went. Happy to set up a free meet-and-greet before booking anything. My schedule is completely my own so I can tailor my day to what your dog is used to. Our usual routine is a walk/run in the morning and a walk with the whole family in the evening. Dorothy is crate trained and so can be right next to your dog to keep them company. I have a good sized yard where I can let the dogs out on leashes and a fenced in deck if they want to be outside. I live 5 minutes from an animal hospital and am used to the random ailments that come with taking care of dogs.
“Our Australian Shepard had a wonderful time with Yulia and Tomas for doggie day care! We could not have been more happy with their kindness, communication, care, and activity level for our dog. They were incredibly prepared and it was clear they offer professional-level services in caring for pets. They knew exactly how to make our dog feel at home and comfortable all day, and in transitioning our dog back to us at the end of the visit. We are so grateful to them for their excellent care!”
“For those as apprehensive as I was about entrusting our dog Islay to someone new for the first time, I’d just like to tell you that Manasi erased all of my concern, starting with our first communication with each other while I was “shopping” for first-time day care for our 10 yr old husky. Her study of animal behavior, along with the fact that she has her own beautiful dog Bear to keep visiting pups entertained, was enough to convince me that our dog was going to be in good, caring hands for the day they spent together. She gets an A+ in communication as well, staying in touch to make arrangements and learn about our dog during the weeks leading up to our visit. To top it off, I received photos of Islay during the day they spent together, which put me, an over-protective type, further at ease. I’m so thankful we “found” Manasi at Rover.com. Islay had a great day with her and your pup will, too.”
About: I have been a dedicated dog lover for years, caring for a variety of breeds for neighbors, friends, and family. As a former foster parent to several dogs before adopting one, I am experienced in helping pups of all temperaments feel safe and welcome in a new environment. Since I work from home, your pet will have constant supervision and companionship. I specialize in providing personalized attention to ensure your dog follows their usual feeding and exercise routine. My own well-trained dog is a friendly playmate for social guests, but I am also happy to provide solo time if preferred. Whether it's long walks or just snoozing by my desk, your pup will be treated like family. As a full-time work-from-home professional, my schedule is extremely flexible, allowing me to provide 24/7 supervision and companionship. Your pet will never be left alone for long periods. I structure my day around frequent potty breaks, backyard play sessions, and midday walks. Because I have experience fostering, I’m great at maintaining a consistent routine that helps guest pets feel secure. Whether your dog needs a high-energy game of fetch or a quiet place to nap while I work, I can easily adapt my day to meet their specific needs. Safety is my top priority. I have a fully fenced, secure yard where dogs can play safely under my supervision. As I work from home and have fostered many dogs, I have developed expertise in monitoring pet interactions and interpreting body language to ensure everyone is happy and comfortable. At home, I take a 'paws-on' approach. I am happy to use crates for sleeping or meal times if that is what your pet is used to, or they can lounge freely in my office while I work. I treat every guest pet with the same level of care and trust I give my own well-trained pup, ensuring a stress-free stay for both you and your furry friend.
About: hello future clients, Dogs have always captured my heart, even before I could walk! My family raised a variety of dog breeds throughout my childhood, and as soon as I started high school, I got my own furry friend! I'm glad to make new doggo pals and often watch dogs for families and friends in the DMV region while they're away! My schedule is fully flexible because I work from home as my own business owner! I would be pleased to pay your fur baby a visit whenever it works best for their schedule. Also, I have a puppers of my own. I live in a pet friendly neighborhood, with walking trails and dog parks. where your dog can run, make friends and play in a safe controlled environment. I will happy send you picture and video updates of your sweet doggo! I also am happy to play with them using their favorite toys and don't mind spending extra time for snuggle sessions and give them treats while I'm there!
“I can’t say enough good things about her! She was reliable, caring, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of. Her communication was excellent, and it was clear she really cared. I felt completely at ease knowing things were in her hands. Absolutely five stars.I would trust her again in a heartbeat.””
“Nandini has been an excellent dog sitter! She kept us updated with periodic photos and messages about Leo, and we could tell that he was super happy and comfortable at her place. She gave us complete peace of mind and made us feel that Leo was in safe hands, so we didn’t have to worry about him at all while we were away. Nandini is pleasant, welcoming, caring, and very easy to work with. We truly appreciate the wonderful care she gave Leo and would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter.”
About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my calm, patient, and gentle approach to each dog. I pay close attention to their body language, needs, and comfort. I'm especially good with puppies who need gentle guidance and basic training, as well as with older dogs who require more leisurely walks, extra care, and a loving, comforting presence. I treat every pet as if it were my own, with the same kindness, respect, and affection I would want for my own. I recently moved and have free time since I have online classes during the week on alternate schedules, so I have time to play with your little ones and shower them with warmth and attention. Within my family, three of them are a furry friend named Balu who is 7 years old, a cat named Copito who is 6 years old, and a kitten named Lucas who is 5 years old. I am used to taking care of them and keeping them under constant supervision, not only in their diet but also in their physical and emotional well-being.
About: I'm a lifelong animal lover who started pet sitting for neighbors as a preteen. I have a lot of experience managing my leash- and dog-reactive dog over the years (sadly my fur babies have now all crossed the rainbow bridge). I really miss having four paws in the house, and working from home, I am able to provide lots of attention, walks and TLC to your best friend. I also have a large fenced-in backyard for potty breaks and a quick game of fetch. I exclusively work from home Monday through Friday, so I'm always here with your fur baby. I'm also available for boarding in my home once we get to know each other. I have a large, fenced-in backyard and I'm happy to crate your dog (or not) depending on their needs and your preferences. There are no resident pets in the house.
About: I have been caring for animals since 2018 and have experience working at multiple dog boarding facilities. At one facility, I worked for over six years, where I cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. My experience includes feeding, cleaning, supervising playtime, and ensuring dogs feel safe and comfortable in a structured environment. I also have personal experience caring for senior dogs, which has helped me develop patience and attentiveness to animals with special needs. In addition to dogs, I have experience caring for rabbits, guinea pigs, and parakeets, and I understand the importance of providing gentle, calm care for small animals. My schedule is flexible, and I am currently available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and small animal care throughout the week. I am available during weekdays and have limited availability on weekends. I do my best to accommodate each client’s schedule and provide consistent, reliable care. I keep my schedule organized to ensure every animal receives the time and attention they deserve. The safety and well-being of every animal in my care is my top priority. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, behavior, and needs to ensure they feel comfortable and secure. I provide a calm, quiet environment and always supervise animals closely during my care. I am attentive to details such as feeding instructions, medications (if needed), and safe handling. I also make sure pets are kept in a clean, secure space and follow any specific instructions provided by their owner. My goal is to create a stress-free experience where both pets and owners feel confident and at ease.
“We had such a wonderful experience with Maggie's sister! Maggie is still a puppy, so she has endless energy and is extremely curious about absolutely everything. She also has a very sneaky habit of trying to eat anything she can find off the ground, something we’re actively working on! Greta and her sister was so patient and attentive with her and took Maggie on 7 walks throughout the day. I also really appreciated how well everything was documented throughout the day. It was reassuring to have such detailed updates and know exactly how Maggie was doing. And I absolutely loved that she nicknamed Maggie the “trash cleaner” because of her determination to pick things up off the ground. 😂 It was so accurate that we’ve decided that’s officially Maggie’s nickname until she learns to stop eating random things! It was clear that Maggie was very well cared for, and we felt completely comfortable knowing she was in such attentive and capable hands. We would absolutely book with her again!”

“Francisco is an outstanding dog walker! He consistently goes above and beyond to make sure our dog is well cared for. After every walk, he communicates with me and provides thoughtful updates about how everything went, including anything he noticed that I should be aware of. What really stood out to me was his attention to detail and genuine care. During our last walk, it started raining, and he reached out to ask where he could find a towel so he could dry our dog off before leaving. That level of thoughtfulness meant a lot to me and showed how much he truly cares about the pets he looks after. I highly recommend Francisco to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional dog walker. Your pet will be in great hands!”
“Skylar always takes Casper for the best walks! He is very attentive and communicative when it comes to bookings. He is also a really great trainer and always helps with loose leash training.”
“We decided to try Rover in our neighborhood for the first time to help Astro get some extra exercise, and we’re so glad we found Shiva! She walked him daily over the past two weeks and was always punctual, reliable, and great about sending updates and plenty of photos, even during his one-hour walks. It gave us peace of mind knowing Astro was in good hands. Highly recommend Shiva!”
“Keila was so amazing and patient with Ollie ! She went above and beyond to make sure Ollie was comfortable with her and he’s always tired after their walks. Highly recommend!”
About: I currently work at a dog rescue. I volunteered as a dog washer at the humane society for a year. I pet sat relatives dogs in their home. I know how to respect dogs boundaries. Right now my schedule is somewhat flexible. I am available weekdays and weekends. I am unavailable on Monday, Tuesday and Friday from 4pm to 730pm. I am respectful of everyone’s home and treat it how I’d want a pet sitter to treat my own. I know the signs to take it slow with dogs and cats.
“Jennifer has been walking our dog Leo on a regular Tuesday/Thursday schedule (mornings and afternoons), and she’s been fantastic. She’s extremely dependable and always communicates well in advance if there’s ever a schedule change. I feel completely comfortable having her care for Leo. What really stands out is how attentive she is — when Leo got sick, Jennifer noticed right away and alerted me immediately so I could get him to the vet. That kind of attentiveness and care goes well beyond just walking the dog. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable dog walker!”
“Christine took great care of Neiman. She was always on time (early even!) and at the end of her time Neiman was running downstairs to meet her. I will be sure to call her again. Thank you so very much.”
“He was awesome. I was provided a detailed image of the route they went on, distance, and time. He was very attentive and responsive. Edward also provided pictures of Max and Thor on their walk. I will definitely use him again and recommend him to everyone.”
About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was 13, so I’ve had years of experience caring for animals and learning how to handle different personalities and needs. I’ve dog sat before and really enjoyed it—it made me realize how much I love being around animals. I love both dogs and cats, and I feel really comfortable caring for either. I’m a trustworthy, responsible person who takes pet care seriously, whether that means sticking to routines, going on walks, or just making sure pets feel safe and loved while their owners are away. What sets me apart is that I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, not just “watching” them. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every pet like they’re my own. Pet care fits pretty easily into my routine. I’m flexible with my schedule, so I can plan around walks, feeding times, and whatever each pet needs day to day. I’m already someone who likes staying active and being out and about, so I don’t mind making time for drop-ins, walks, or longer stays. I’m good with sticking to routines and making sure pets get consistent care and attention while their owners are away. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping them safe, comfortable, and sticking closely to their normal routine, feeding, walks, meds if needed, and any specific instructions. I’m very mindful about safety, like making sure doors are locked, leashes are secure, and always keeping a close eye on pets. I treat every animal like my own, so I’m really attentive to their behavior and needs. I also respect the home I’m in and keep things clean and organized. Overall, I try to create a calm, safe environment where pets feel cared for while their owners are away.
“Marti is always so wonderful with our dog Hemi! She is very responsive with walking requests when sent. She is flexible with timing and will always make herself available for your doggo. Further, Hemi loves her and at the end of their walk Marti even spends time with our cat giving her AND Hemi both treats and pets.”
“Leah was fantastic. So communicative and helpful with giving our doggo a nice long walk and making sure she has everything she needs while we’re at work. Will definitely be rebooking.”

“Andrew took great care of our dog Apollo. I was apprehensive about using Rover for the first time, but Andrew quickly eased my concerns with his responsive messages and meet & greet with our dog. Apollo looked very content and well cared for when we picked him up - we’d definitely book with Andrew again and would recommend him to my friends!”
“Jennifer is the best! I have a (highly emotional) Great Dane who gets stressed when I leave but I can tell in every photo she sends how happy and spoiled he is! I feel so comfortable leaving him with Jennifer which is a great feeling to have.”
“Kirin was wonderful with my dog, Kya. He watched her twice for several days each while I was visiting family. He was easy to communicate with and was really attentive to Kya’s high energy nature and puppy tendencies (I’m sure his two goldens helped with that too 🤣). I was able to relax and enjoy my travels, knowing she was in good hands.”
“Our big poodle had an amazing time with Amethyst. She listened to all our concerns about his anxiety and she was extremely accommodating about keeping him comfortable. We feel like he is so safe and cared for with her and look forward to letting him stay with her in the future.”

“We couldn’t be happier with the care Baxter received from Ray! Since this was our first time leaving Baxter with Ray, we were a little nervous, especially since Baxter was staying for only two days. But Ray immediately made us feel comfortable and reassured us that Baxter was in good hands. Throughout his stay, Ray kept us updated with pictures and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was wonderful seeing Baxter looking happy, relaxed, and comfortable. Ray was attentive to his needs, gave him plenty of love and attention, and made sure he was well cared for. When we picked Baxter up, he was happy and completely at ease, which told us everything we needed to know. We could tell he had a great time and was genuinely cared for. Thank you, Ray, for taking such wonderful care of Baxter and making his first stay with you such a positive experience. We truly appreciate the updates, love, and attention you gave him. We’re so glad we found someone we can trust, and we would definitely book with you again!”
“Sujan is a fantastic sitter. He takes such good care of our dog Rufus. You can tell he loves dogs and really cares about their happiness and health. Rufus is always so excited to see him and comes back happy and relaxed. Sujan is so sweet and follows up with us after rufus has been home a few days. He really cares about your dog and I would absolutely recommend him to anyone.”
“Alana was always prompt and professional during our interactions. Even in the midst of her family emergency that arose during our reservation, she ensured our furry family member was well taken care of. Highly recommended and would use her again.”

“Made my pup and I feel very comfortable about the whole experience. You can tell Carla has a lot of experience under her belt! She gave us plenty of updates during my pup's stay, and even gave some feedback/advice on how we can continue training him. Very well organized, I will be using Carla's services again for sure!”
“Keira took wonderful care of our dogs for three overnight stays! They were happy to get to know her and her dog Mokka. She took time to learn my dogs personalities and schedules. Highly recommend!”
“Ron did a great job boarding our dog. We received pictures of our dog every day. Ron was also very accommodating when we needed to drop off earlier and pick up a bit later than the original schedules. Our dog loved this vacation home and will definitely return for more vacation stays. Thank you a lot Ron.”
“Tracey and her family are the absolute best! Excellent communication, timely updates and a willingness to adapt to schedule changes. They took amazing care of my dog Emge - truly a home away from home. Will be booking again :)”
“William took excellent care of my pup Iris while we were out of town for a short get away. William and his goldendoodle Maui were great hosts and Iris came home wore out from fun and playing. She was one happy dog.”
