“This was my first extended period of time getting a pet sitter through Rover and I am so glad I found Jenn. She took very good care of my senior dog, Marley. She sent several updates and pictures and my family loved seeing it. I will be sure to book with her again. Thank you Jenn!!!!”
“Rebecca is great! She was immediately available, and communicated very well. She sent us pictures of our dog every day and a video, which showed our dog playing with her dog in the fenced yard. That made me see that my puppy was having a great time. I definitely recommend her as an excellent, experienced pet sitter.”
“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.”
“Really sweet family LenaNina had great time. She was there for a couple of days and they always sent me pictures and kept me up-to-date. Very quick to respond. They have a very nice backyard space and indoor daycare area. I totally recommend.”
“Jamie was an incredible sitter! She handled all my dog’s quirks well and both her, her family, and all her critters made my pup feel right at home. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again for future trips.”
“Jordan and his family was amazing with Monty. He was very quick in his responses with continous updates while taking care of my dog. His home provided the perfect space for Monty to roam and be free. Will definitely use again.”
“Teecey made me very comfortable leaving my little one with her overnight. She was very accommodating when I forgot to bring all of my dog's food and Teecey's dog was a great playmate for my energetic Frenchie. I'd choose Teecey again.”
“We continue to request Jim to care for our beloved dog. We again were extremely happy with his care and correspondences. We recommend him to those who need to entrust their dogs with a person who they can trust and depend on.”
“Heather watched our pups Lily and Cinnamon for 9 days and did a wonderful job! They had a great time playing with the other dogs that were visiting and we received daily photos and status updates. She is very quick to respond when we have questions and is very experienced working with all types and temperaments. We felt our pups were in great hands!”
“Genevieve was a blessing to our family and how she took care of Cedar. He had a great time, I can tell by how he ran to the door looking for her after she left. Our communication was great - Genevieve provided updates via text so I always knew how Cedar was doing. Her picking and dropping off Cedar also took the stress away. I would gladly use Genevieve again and again!”
“I can’t recommend Anthony and his wife enough! They took such incredible care of my dog Nikki while I was away, and it was clear from the start that he was in warm, loving hands. From the thoughtful updates to the genuine affection they showed him, I could tell they treated him like one of their own. Anthony went above and beyond, paying attention to all of Nikki’s little quirks and needs. He shared tips, routines, and even small things like what Nikki enjoyed on walks or in his meals—which was so thoughtful and helpful. They also noticed a grooming need and let me know with care and kindness, which I really appreciated. I felt completely at ease knowing Nikki was not only safe and happy, but also adored. He clearly had such a fun time and bonded with them—he’s already missing them! If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely passionate about dogs, Anthony and his wife are it. I would absolutely book with them again without hesitation!”
“Ana was great with my Gimli! I booked her because of her high ratings and good reviews, and let me tell you, she lives up to her 5-star reviews! She sent daily pictures and videos of my sweetheart, and I never once worried about him. Its clear Ana loves the dogs she cares for, and goes above and beyond to ensure theyre comfortable and thriving. I will definitely be booking with her again in the future because I know my little guy will be in the best hands ever!”

“This was our second time working with Tracey and she was just as fantastic. We're going away next weekend and look forward to working with her again then! Highly recommended.”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care Twinkie received! From the very beginning, Johana was kind, attentive, and incredibly caring. Twinkie was clearly happy, comfortable and well loved, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. We really appreciated the regular updates and photos, and it was obvious that Twinkie got plenty of attention and care. If you have a small dog, I highly recommend coming here. Twinkie loved having the opportunity to socialize and play with her dogs, and it was such a fun experience for her. SHe came home happy and clearly had a wonderful time. We would absolutely recommend Johana to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dependable pet sitter.”

About: Caring for cats has taught me that every cat is unique. I pay close attention to their body language, keep their litter boxes and feeding areas clean, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable in their own home. Whether your cat is playful, shy, or independent, I'll respect their routine and provide patient, loving care every step of the way. I'll treat your cat with the same kindness, attention, and care I'd give my own.
“Stefanie was a god-sent. I was shocked my cats took to her right away. She always sent pictures of my cats being happy and eating. She was very punctual and spent a full half hour playing with them. I could not be happier and will definitely ask for her help again when going out of town. This was my first time leaving my kitties to be taken care of by someone else - thank you for a great experience.”
“Willow is amazing, very passionate about animals and it shows with each visit. The pics she sent shows how happy my pets are to see her with every time she drops in! I will certainly have her watch them again!”
“Melissa was just what we needed to cover our cat while we went on a trip! She was so sweet, kept us updated, and kept our kitty entertained while we were away! I would definitely recommend Melissa to any others looking for help with their pets!”
“Dominique was great and our cats seemed to love her! She came over before we left to meet our cats and go through everything, which was amazing. We will definitely be rebooking if we need a cat sitter again!”
About: I've always been a natural caregiver. I've had pets since I was born, took care of my grandmother in her final years, and I take care of patients of all ages everyday as a healthcare worker. My goal is always to look out for the underdog (pun intended). I work at a dental clinic nearby with nights, weekends, and every other Friday off. My 15 minute commute allows me to pop home if I need to let our pup out. I have plenty of time before and after work for walks and snuggles too! I have a fenced in backyard, a super laid back 9 year old lab mix, and two chill cats who pretty much keep to themselves. We have plenty of extra space for crating if need be! And if for some reason your furry friend needs and entirely secluded area, we can provide that as well.
“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!!”
“William started weekly stop ins for my dog Dakota and working with him has been fantastic. He’s responsive and professional and very sweet with my dog. Dakota looks forward to her walks.”
About: I am a 25 year old pet owner of an old Siberian cat named Smokey. My cat is 13 years old and I have cared for him from his kitten years to now his senior years. I have prior experience pet sitting for both cats and dogs and am more than willing to attend to your pet’s needs, even if they may sound wild! 😄
“Somaya is great! One of my doggos threw up and she was very responsive, gave great detail, and cleaned it up. Doggos is fine and she also followed up later in the night to confirm he was still okay. Def recommend!”
About: I have 15 years of experience caring for all kinds of cats shy, playful, rescued, and senior. I love creating a safe and calm environment for them. I make sure they eat well, get companionship, enjoy playtime, and always feel cared for. I’m attentive to any signs of stress or discomfort, and I treat every cat as part of the family.
About: I grew up with cats in my family and spent tons of time helping care for my friends' cats—including a home with 13 at once! I'm very comfortable with different feline personalities, whether your cat is outgoing and playful or shy and prefers quiet space. I offer patient, attentive care; reliable feeding; litter box maintenance; and daily photo updates.
“Thank you so much Miss Inqra, you are doing absolutely fantastic work with our two kitties, you were always on time, very communicative, overall we really couldn’t have asked for a better sitter than you! We would highly recommend Inqra to anyone looking for a reliable, loving pet sitter that will play with your pets and leave your home very neat? Then Inqra is your sitter! Thank you so so so so much again and for last minute help as well you’re amazing! We will definitely be rebooking again!”

“Aiden and her wonderful family have been fantastic sitters! BELLA is usually very skittish about new places but she has been very excited to go to doggy day care. Highly recommended!”
“She took the doggy day care last minute and was very communicative throughout the whole day by sending me pictures and giving me updates. Would love to have Fuying watch my dog again!”
“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!”
About: I offer a premium boarding experience because I believe every dog deserves to be treated like family, not inventory. I strictly limit my capacity to one or two dogs to ensure they get the attention and peace of mind they need. My home is a real home, not a kennel. I currently care for Violet, a Belgian Malinois service dog, and Scarlet, a Maine Coon kitten. My experience goes far beyond that, too. My journey has taken me from volunteering with A Forever Home Dog Rescue to a wildlife rescue in Virginia, and now to raising neonatal kittens from just a few hours old. I have a unique skill set for managing a wide range of animals—from fragile newborns to high-energy working dogs—in a calm, household setting. While you might find cheaper options elsewhere ($30–$40/day), those often involve high-volume, kennel-style setups with multiple dogs in separate rooms. My $60/day rate reflects the exclusive, one-on-one care and quiet environment you get here. You aren't paying for a bed in a facility; you're paying for a home where your dog is an honored guest. Pet Care is Family Life, Not a Job My home operates on a calm, consistent routine designed to make every guest feel safe and settled. As a remote worker with a quiet home, I am present and available throughout the day. Morning: We start with a gentle wake-up, a potty break, and breakfast. Daytime: While I work, your pet is right beside me—a quiet companion in a comfy dog bed or in a safe play area. I check in frequently for water, a quick snack, or a cuddle. Afternoon: We have dedicated time for one-on-one play, mental stimulation, or a relaxing walk (weather permitting). Evening: We wind down together, often with quiet time before bed. Because I host only one or two guests, this routine is tailored to your pet's needs, not a generic schedule for a group. There are no crowded kennel hours or constant noise; just a steady, loving presence. My home is a safe, controlled environment where safety is my top priority. Because I treat every pet as family, I maintain strict protocols to ensure their well-being. Supervision: I am home full-time and provide constant supervision. There is no "cage time" or unsupervised roaming. Secure Environment: My home is pet-proofed. I do not leave pets unattended in crates for long periods; they are integrated into family life. Emergency Preparedness: I have an SUV ready for immediate transport to the vet. I carry a fully stocked pet first-aid kit and have a clear emergency action plan for every guest. Background Checks: I have passed a basic background check and maintain a 100% response rate, ensuring reliability and trust. I also maintain an active government clearance. Health & Hygiene: I follow strict cleaning protocols, especially given my experience with neonatal kittens (who are highly susceptible to illness). I isolate new guests if needed and monitor health closely.
“Everything went well Erica was always ready for my to drop off Cosmo despite it typically be very early. Cosmo can be kind of a dirty dog, but she kept him clean and well taken care of. She updated me on how he was doing and sent pictures.”
“I loved that I received several updates on my pup throughout the day!! He seemed to be very comfortable there and was sleepy when he got home so I think he had a blast!!”
“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.”
“I have been using Rebecca and Roman for daily daycare services since April 2025. This is my first time using Rover and I have been very pleased with their services. Rebecca and Roman treat my pet as one of their own and they give me the peace of mind I need to focus on other responsibilities I have during the day. Rebecca and Roman notify me right away if there are any concerns they have regarding my pet so I can address them immediately. Rebecca and Roman send me pictures of my pet often which I love. If you are looking for daycare services in a loving home, I recommend Rebecca and Roman. ❤️”
“This was a great day for my baby! This was her first day away from after not even having her a week. I really appreciated the pictures and messages when I was at work. Made me feel more at ease.”
“I had such a great experience with her! She and her mom took amazing care of Lulu and Toby while I was away. I really appreciated the consistent updates and pictures, it gave me so much peace of mind throughout the day. You can tell they genuinely care, because every time I picked up my puppies, they were happy, calm, and well taken care of. That alone says everything. I’m so grateful to have found them and will definitely be booking again. Highly recommend!”
“Apollo loves coming here and being able to play with other dogs. After a not so great experience with a different Rover sitter, Alex and Eddie have put my mind at ease for our 10 month old German Shepard puppy who needs to be running around at all times.”
“Tracey is our life saver! We can always count on her to watch our fur baby, Bix. Bix always looks happy with tail wagging when we pick her up, giving Tracey a few hops and kisses before we take her home. Thank you, Tracey, for taking such good care of our dog.”
“My pup, Cooper had a great time with Jim! It was our first time and Jim put him right at ease. Jim is responsive, kind and communicative. Cooper had a great time and I look forward to booking Jim again.”
About: I’ve spent years taking care of pets—from shy seniors to high-energy pups—and I really take the time to get to know what each one needs to feel happy and comfortable. I’m super patient, and I love finding the little things that make each pet light up, whether that’s a favorite toy or a long walk! My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and totally at home while you’re away. Pet care is already a big part of my everyday routine. I plan my schedule around feeding times, walks, play sessions, and check-ins, so giving pets consistent care fits really smoothly into my day. Whether it’s morning walks, midday drop-ins, or evening chill time, I make sure each pet gets the attention and structure they’re used to. Even on busy weeks, I carve out dedicated time so every animal I’m caring for gets patience, affection, and a routine that feels familiar to them. I listen to you. In my home, I keep pets on their usual routine and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved. If I’m at a client’s home, I follow their rules and their pet’s normal schedule so everything feels familiar.
“Tiffany was an absolute delight to book with!! From the very beginning, she was very prompt in her responses and answered any questions that I had. I am a newer dog mom, so she put me at ease due to her kindness and professionalism. She was very flexible with drop-off/pickup times, which I know can be tough for most. That was a huge plus! She also communicated throughout the day with updates and cute photos of my fur baby so I knew he was safe and well taken care of. If I could, I would give her 10/5 stars! I definitely plan to book with her again in the near future! Thanks again Tiffany!”
“We had a great experience with Saroj! We were able to drop Chewie off early for our day trip, and Saroj sent us updates throughout the day with pictures and videos. Saroj was very responsive and accommodating. We will definitely use Saroj’s services again!”

“Once again Samantha did an amazing job with our Prince. She does such a great job and you can tell she loves what she does because it shows in how she treats and cares for our pup. Her communication is top tier I highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve owned and cared for dogs my entire life, giving me 15 years of hands-on experience across all breeds and sizes. From large, powerful breeds like Rottweilers, Pitbulls, and Great Danes to spirited Schnauzers and my current 4-year-old French Bulldog, I understand how to adjust my care to every dog's unique personality and energy level. Whether your pup needs confident, experienced handling on walks or gentle, focused attention, safety and comfort are always my top priorities. Pet care is my top priority! I manage my schedule carefully to ensure every dog gets full attention, frequent bathroom breaks, and daily exercise. Whether you need drop-in visits, walks, or house sitting, I have flexible availability to match your dog's exact daily routine. Having raised dogs my whole life—from large breeds like Great Danes and Pitbulls to smaller pups like my Frenchie—I prioritize safety above all else.

“I’ve had Christopher walk my English cocker spaniel a few times now and I still have nothing but good things to say. He’s attentive, he gives her good exercise, and he’s almost always available. When something seems off about her, he lets me know. He’s a really caring, great person, and I HIGHLY recommend.”
“Omg I love Megan for taking such good care of my Rocky while I am recovering from surgery. I was so worried who would walk him during the day.

About: I have had pets all my life. I started helping take care of my cat and dogs at around 10 years old. I help out with my friends and extended family members pets as well. My dog takes medication in the morning so I can administer medication if needed. She has also gone through two surgeries so I can help during pet recovery as well. I’ve had hyperactive dogs as well as territorial/ toy-aggressive dogs and know how to deal with them. I have also had dogs who needed extra care due to being old. I do know a little bit about training dogs but not much. I work part time and go to college full time. However, I live at home with my parents so I can fit pet care into my schedule. I have a fenced backyard for my dog to run around or just lay outside. I walk her 2/3 times a day and she gets fed twice a day, morning and evening. I also spend a lot of time with her whether it’s playing around or just watching tv. If I am caring for someone else’s pets, I feed the pets and play with them as well as hang out with them.

I love all animals, I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since for as long as I could remember, I have experience all breeds and sizes of dogs and cats, all ages including Puppies and seniors, Patience is my virtue in dealing with animals.

I am also in training to become a dog trainer! I am almost finished with my certification. Pet care is the absolute forefront of my life. It's 25/8! Coming into a clients home, I like to look for the dogs favorite/chosen safe space and also where their eating place is! Those two places are a great area to gain a new dogs trust. I really enjoy feeding time when it comes to pet care. I am someone who LOVES to eat, so it really satisfying to see a pet enjoy their meal. For a more picky eater, I really enjoy finding a method to encourage a dog to eat whether it be adding pumpkin, bone broth, rim the bowl with peanut butter or yogurt, or even offering my presence so they feel safe -- every breathing creature deserves to start and end their day with a lovely meal. Aside from that, I do enjoy getting to know the dog on their own terms by letting them set the pace. I enjoy going outside and taking pets to areas where we can experience life together so they know they are not alone and are able be free and express themselves however they please!

“Really sweet family LenaNina had great time. She was there for a couple of days and they always sent me pictures and kept me up-to-date. Very quick to respond. They have a very nice backyard space and indoor daycare area. I totally recommend.”
“Jamie was an incredible sitter! She handled all my dog’s quirks well and both her, her family, and all her critters made my pup feel right at home. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again for future trips.”
“Jordan and his family was amazing with Monty. He was very quick in his responses with continous updates while taking care of my dog. His home provided the perfect space for Monty to roam and be free. Will definitely use again.”
“Teecey made me very comfortable leaving my little one with her overnight. She was very accommodating when I forgot to bring all of my dog's food and Teecey's dog was a great playmate for my energetic Frenchie. I'd choose Teecey again.”
“We continue to request Jim to care for our beloved dog. We again were extremely happy with his care and correspondences. We recommend him to those who need to entrust their dogs with a person who they can trust and depend on.”
“Heather watched our pups Lily and Cinnamon for 9 days and did a wonderful job! They had a great time playing with the other dogs that were visiting and we received daily photos and status updates. She is very quick to respond when we have questions and is very experienced working with all types and temperaments. We felt our pups were in great hands!”
“Genevieve was a blessing to our family and how she took care of Cedar. He had a great time, I can tell by how he ran to the door looking for her after she left. Our communication was great - Genevieve provided updates via text so I always knew how Cedar was doing. Her picking and dropping off Cedar also took the stress away. I would gladly use Genevieve again and again!”
“I can’t recommend Anthony and his wife enough! They took such incredible care of my dog Nikki while I was away, and it was clear from the start that he was in warm, loving hands. From the thoughtful updates to the genuine affection they showed him, I could tell they treated him like one of their own. Anthony went above and beyond, paying attention to all of Nikki’s little quirks and needs. He shared tips, routines, and even small things like what Nikki enjoyed on walks or in his meals—which was so thoughtful and helpful. They also noticed a grooming need and let me know with care and kindness, which I really appreciated. I felt completely at ease knowing Nikki was not only safe and happy, but also adored. He clearly had such a fun time and bonded with them—he’s already missing them! If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely passionate about dogs, Anthony and his wife are it. I would absolutely book with them again without hesitation!”
“Ana was great with my Gimli! I booked her because of her high ratings and good reviews, and let me tell you, she lives up to her 5-star reviews! She sent daily pictures and videos of my sweetheart, and I never once worried about him. Its clear Ana loves the dogs she cares for, and goes above and beyond to ensure theyre comfortable and thriving. I will definitely be booking with her again in the future because I know my little guy will be in the best hands ever!”

“Michelle did an outstanding job while taking care of Harley. I was given daily updates as well as pictures. Easy to communicate with and accepted a last minute request from me. She will be my go to sitter for Harley.”
“Traci watched our big senior boy for a week previously so when we had another week long trip, we knew Leo would be in good hands with her! Traci is very thoughtful and made sure Leo was comfortable, despite him being anxious being away from his family. She provided lots of updates and photos and we felt happy knowing that Leo was in good hands. Thanks so much, Traci!”
“Aiden was a great hostess for our large dog while we were out of town for five days. She sent a couple pictures each day of our dog and was very prompt with responses. Would definitely recommend Aiden’s services!”
