“Serena is wonderful with our Millie! She is caring, reliable, and treats the pups like her own. We feel completely comfortable knowing our dog is in such good hands. In fact, Millie has more fun at Serena's house than ours! Highly recommend Serena...you truly cannot find a better sitter!”
“I couldn't recommend Gail more- she was absolutely amazing, and Bella (our pug) really seemed to enjoy her stay. Gail was very respectful of Bella's daily routine and sent us daily updates (which put our minds at ease during our trip). You can tell Gail loves dogs as she even makes her own dog biscuts -- so cool!! We hope to use Gail in the future and highly recommend her to others.”
“Rebeca is such a nice lady. Every day I receive photo or video from her of coco. It's been more than a day since coco came back home, and everything looks normal. I believe coco was well taken care of there!”
“Cindy was great taking care of our two shiba inus. She knows what was needed and provided excellent care for them. Each day pictures and updates was given. I was very pleased and I’ll be booking her again!”
“We are so thankful to have Kayla watch our Lucy! She goes above and beyond. We always know she's in good hands. Lucy just loves her and gets excited to see her when we drop her off!”
“Veronica was amazing with my sweet girl Sophie! She sent me pictures while I was away and my girl looked so happy and relaxed when I picked her up. Highly recommend!! Thank you Veronica!”
“This was our first time using Rover, and it was also a last minute booking, but we were so lucky to find Kimberly and Michael. They are very friendly, trustworthy and professional from the start, which immediately made us feel comfortable. They took such great care of our dog Yomi and gave her so much attention. They sent us daily photos and updates while we were away. It was really reassuring to see how happy and relaxed Yomi was. We would definitely book with them again. Highly recommended!”
“Musa and his family are wonderful with our dog, who can be quite quirky. He was extremely excited to see Musa when I dropped him off... which has never happened with a sitter before. Thank you for caring for him so well!”
“David has watched Sawyer a few times now and he is great! David is very responsive, responsible, and sends updates to me on how my pup is doing. I’d highly recommend him anytime!”
“Piri's Place is nothing short of amazing! We left our sweet senior cocker spaniel with Jane for a 10 night stay while we were traveling internationally for our wedding. I have followed Jane and Piri's Place for over 5 years on social media and I knew she would be the ONLY person I could trust with the care of our baby while we were gone for such a long time. We drove an hour and a half just so Teddy could stay there and wow was it worth it! Her attention to detail with her daily reports along with beautiful photos kept us completely at ease while we were away. I knew Teddy had such a fun time hanging out there. I wish we lived closer so we could take him to Piri's Place more often. THANK YOU, JANE!”
“I was so glad to be able to leave my Layla with Andrea and her sweet chihuahuas. Andrea gave Layla so much loving attention and sent me regular updates, including a heartwarming picture of Layla holding paws with one of her pups. It made my trip relaxing and enjoyable to know that Layla was in excellent hands. I hope to be able to leave Layla with Andrea every time I need to travel.”
“Pyro was so happy staying with Cadence! Cadence was great about sending us updates on how he was doing, we didn’t have to worry about him while we were away. We would definitely hire her to watch our pup again!”
“Happy to leave my review. Gigi was in wonderful care with Melanie, she came home happy, relaxed, and very much her playful self, running around and stretching like she always does. She was clearly comfortable and well looked after. I’ll continue having Melanie care for Gigi.”
“Mariel was fantastic. We knew our Minnie was in good hands. We received daily pictures and updates showing us how quickly Minnie settled in to her routine at their house. We knew she was being showered with love while we were away. Awesome experience! We would highly recommend Mariel as a pet sitter.”
“This was my pups first time being boarded and I was a bit anxious. Mei and her family took good care of Sandy and Oreo sending pictures and videos daily showing them on walks and in the house playing.Mei also sent pictures of their sleeping arrangements (I brought their dog beds) asking if it was a good set up for them. I would definitely recommend Mei and her family for anyone’s small breed fur babies.”
“Another great stay with Connor! Bella got plenty of mental and physical stimulation. And we got plenty of photos. When we dropped her she ran in like she owned the place. Thanks Connor”

“Jessica is timely, professional, and takes great care of my cats. She spent quality time playing with them and sent very detailed updates. I will definitely be using her again.”
“Wow, Jing. Thank you so much for the care and extra attention to detail. The pictures of their littler box, food bowls, and water bowls were so comforting. The pictures you took of our cats and the thorough descriptions of how they were doing were much appreciated. Thank you so much, again! It was a pleasure to meet you!”
“This was the first time Kimberly cared for our 2 cats and we felt right at ease on our week-long trip. She gave great notes (which were fun to read!) and photos! Everything was in order the way we left it when we returned home and she had brought in our packages for us as well. We wouldn't hesitate to be a repeat customer!”
“Katherine was great! Such a sweet person and she took very good care of our babies while we were out of town. Loved the pictures and little reports after every check-in.”
“Sheila is great - thorough, kind, and totally reliable. And she puts up with the fact that my two timid cats won’t even stick their faces out for a simple hello when she is there 😊”
“Laura was simply amazing with our crew. She took care of not only our 4 resident cats but also our foster kittens! She was comfortable administering oral medication to our special needs kitty and was extremely communicative sending updates, pictures and videos. We will absolutely be using Laura and her amazing care giving skills again!”
“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.”
“Gabriella is truly an amazing person. She went above and beyond with our cat Macarena, always making sure she was doing alright and even suggesting great ideas to help our cat feel less anxious. She took care of her for 3 weeks, always sending pics and videos. This is probably our 4th time with her and she’s stuck with us now, we love her!”
“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”
“Ella did an amazing job with my tuxedo cat! She sat and played with her-gave her treats-scooped the litter box-even managed to brush her a little! Tazz only comes out for those that she trusts- Ella was patient and kind and took her time with her. I will be booking again! Highly recommend this young lady!!!”
“Courtney D. was great! She was very patient with my cat, letting my cat come to her. I also received lots of details and photos about each visit. Highly recommend!”

“This was my first time using Rover and it was such a great and smooth experience. Veronica is very prompt in her responses. My pup played with other dogs and was completely wiped out when he got home (which he rarely is). I also appreciate that she sent photos of him. I will definitely be using Veronica in the future!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Wyatt is great! Our dog is very very picky about people but she instantly loved Wyatt! He gave us lots of updates and some pictures, and it seemed like our pup really enjoyed her doggy day care time. We will definitely book again!”
“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”
“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.”
“Joanna and John have been amazing with Peanut. I’ve been to many sitters around the area, in and out of rover, and I’ve never had a better experience than here. They are extremely friendly, super flexible, and will make sure your dog gets all the attention they need. They are very detail oriented to make sure my dog got the best experience and ensured that he will be very comfortable during his stay. Joanna kept me updated throughout the day with pictures and a breakdown of how he’s doing so far. She’s is also attentive and very responsive if I ever had any questions about how things were going. Another plus is that they have a very big yard for peanut to run around in. Joanna will take him outside multiple times a day to run around and makes sure he gets a lot of exercise. She makes sure to create a safe environment for all the dogs to play together as well. The house and yard are kept extremely clean everyday for the dogs, so I know I can feel comfortable every time I bring him over for daycare or to stay the night. All in all, I’m super happy I found them, Peanut has been having a blast. I will definitely be booking more stays with them in the future. If you’re looking for a sitter, I would highly recommend!”
“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. ❤️”
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.
“Tamara was amazing with watching my two dogs. She fully accommodated a last-minute request. She sent updates and photographs throughout their stay with her. I will definitely reach out to her again for our pet sitting needs.”
“Rachel's is a wonderful place - a great doggy experience. It was so nice to see Rogan running in Rachel's yard since he seldom is off leash. Although we originally booked at Rachel's because our regular sitter was on vacation, we are planning to send Rogan to Rachel's a few days a month so he can run around and be a dog in a safe and loving environment.”
“Devora is so kind and accommodating and a pleasure to work with. Trusting your most precious pet with a stranger can be difficult but she was assuring, communicative, kept me updated and I really felt my senior dog with many needs felt comfortable and safe in her care. Many other dog care options have many dogs of mixed sizes and activity levels in large areas where they can play and be very active. But a small, more fragile dog really needs a particular place where they can be safe and comfortable, so Devora’s home really was a perfect fit for this niche that put my mind at ease and allowed my dog to have a stable space he could relax without anxiety at the times we weren’t able to take him along with us. I would absolutely recommend Devora for any pet care services she offers.”
“When faced with a sudden family emergency, I reached out to Helena & Nathan trying to find a place for my boy, Jackson, for the day. H&N responded within minutes and we were able to work out day care for the day. I can't tell you how grateful I felt knowing that Jackson would be well cared for while I attended to my own family's needs. H&N kept me posted with plenty of photos throughout the day - and those photos really lifted my spirits when we ended up having to put a beloved family cat to sleep. I really can't thank them enough for the support and care they provided...to both me and Jackson. Rest in Peace, Mr. Kitty. You were my father's best friend and brought love and laughter into all of our lives. We'll miss you.”
“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!”

“Jong is so thoughtful. She texted me to have a towel ready for Enzo because it was a little wet outside and she wanted to wipe his paws. She also emptied his water bowl and gave him fresh water:”
“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!”
“Katherine is a professional and diligent house/pet sitter. She is always very caring towards our 2 dogs. 10 out of 10 would totally use again, and very highly recommend her for pet care needs.”
“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.”
“Amanda came through in a pinch and she was great with walking my two big and very rambunctious dogs. She was prompt, friendly, and provided great notes post each walk. I’ll definitely use her again the next time we need someone.”
“Morgan was so great with Brownie! She was very attentive in the instructions and details I provided for the walk, and also sent cute photos! I would love to have her walk Brownie again.”
“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!”
“Kimberly was awesome with Kaya! She was patient and gentle with Kaya and sent us updates and pictures of her during the walk. Kaya came back very content and tired from her walk!”
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.
“Timothy (Matt) has been so great with our dog Nala. He always arrives on time and gets her energy out with a long walk around our neighborhood. Will continue booking with him and would definitely recommend him to anyone!”
“Melianna is absolutely wonderful. She is kind, thoughtful, punctual, and goes above and beyond. Some days my fur baby just doesn’t want to walk, so she found other activities to get her to exercise like playing fetch. She is patient even when my girl doesn’t want to cooperate. 💕”
“Sonia is so patient and loving with our anxious pup! She went out of her way to make our dog Jane feel more comfortable with her during her first walk, and has since become a safe person in Jane’s eyes! Sonia is a great communicator and always goes above and beyond. We are very grateful!”
“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!”
