“This is the second time my Velcro dog has stayed with Christine ;) Christine is a great communicator and always keeps me up to date on my pet. I feel like I can relax and know my precious pooch is being taken care with Christine ❤️ when I'm out of town!”
“Gail is awesome! I had a last minute work trip and had to find a sitter basically the day before and she was so incredibly accommodating to watch my dog. She sent me updates multiple times a day including pictures and video. Will definitely be using Gail again :)”
“Alexis, Andrew, and their boys did an amazing job of making Pepper feel comfortable and happy. Regular pics of Pepper was sent to me and she looks very happy in every pic. I would recommend this family for anyone looking for a dog sitter. Thanks again for caring for Pepper.”
“Outstanding host! She took excellent care of our English bulldog and provided funny notes and photos throughout his stay. We will absolutely book with Jen again! 5 stars!”
“Tien couldn’t have done a better job taking care of our dog. We were on vacation for 12 days, and we received updates/pictures daily from Tien. Our dog was in great spirits when we picked her up, and it was clear she enjoyed being with Tien. Will definitely be bringing lulu back to Tien whenever we go out of town, if she’s available.”
“Susan was a great sitter for our older girl Bailey. She was very friendly and thorough during our meet and greet and provided very clear instructions to best prepare Bailey for her stay. She and her husband have older dogs themselves, so I was very confident in their ability to watch over our dog. Will definitely work with her again”
“Yasmine was amazing! She responded to my request quickly, sent updates & photos throughout the night, & even checked on us the following day. I will definitely be booking with her again in the future. Thank you Yasmine!!!”
“Jose took great care of our dog. He was incredibly responsive and sent daily photos which was very helpful since our little dog was staying with him for the first time. We will definitely call on Jose to sit for our dog again!”
“Laurie and Richard helped me last minute when I struggled to find a dog sitter on a holiday weekend. They were also very accommodating to my travel schedule which was a little flux. My dog can be rather anxious but she quickly warmed up to them. The fact that they have a house with a yard was also a benefit to my pup! They also are true animal lovers and very patient with each animals needs and making sure they are comfortable. I would definitely recommend them to anyone in need of a pet sitter!”
“We were so happy with our experience with Helena and Nathan! After another Rover cancelled on us last minute, they fit us in and truly saved the day! Their yard was amazing - especially for our 95 lb mutt who just loves to run. And our little old man loved the cozy beds around the house. They sent pics and videos every day and our boys came back happy and healthy. As a bonus, while we have noticed our dogs often come back from Rovers smelling like a kennel, after a weekend with Helena and Nathan they came back smelling great!”
“This is Kobe’s 2nd time boarding with Kevin and his family! Wonderful hosts, Kobe almost didn’t want to leave and went back in the house to say goodbye :). Will definitely book with Kevin again!”
“This was my first time ever boarding our dog Winnie and I can honestly say although I was nervous at first, the second I met Katerine & Brian I knew they would take great care of our Winnie girl. We booked Winnie’s stay for long weekend trip Thurs- Mon. Winnie made her self right at home and loved Katerine immediately upon meeting. We received the cutest update photos about Winnie during her weekend stay and knew she was in great hands and didn’t have to worry about a thing. We are so thankful for them and taking the best care of our girl, would highly recommend and will be booking Winnie a stay with them again :)”
“Prisila took amazing care of our cats while we were away! She sent us daily updates so we could see how well they had taken to her house. When we picked them up, they were happy and not stressed out the way they were when we left them with just a pet sitter checking in on them daily. I highly recommend Prisila and would not hesitate to board our cats with her again.”
“Kathleen has now cared for our two dogs 3 times (almost more than we saw them last month). She is absolutely amazing; she has no problem getting my older dog to take her pills, they get super excited to see her and she has been beyond flexible with us on drop off and pick-up. I highly recommend her!”
“My family is so grateful we found Jennifer. Our dog is high needs, he takes medication morning and night. He’s also a finicky eater, especially when away from home. Jennifer took excellent care of him for the week we were away. Often updating on his medicine, giving lots of love and cuddles and sending photos ( my son’s favorite seeing that his best friend was being well taken care of). Jennifer is easy to communicate with, welcoming and very responsible- will definitely ask her to watch my dog again.”
“Holly was excellent. She was willing to take care of my 13 year old Miniature Schnauzer after we just moved to VA. Great communication before and during the boarding. We will work with Holly again.”
“Very nice, and caring. I felt safe and secure leaving my baby with Roxanna and her family. Bella came back with new extra energy from making a new friend in their dog. Roxanna communicates well and often which was reassuring while I was awhile from my baby. She is great!”
“Carrie and Matthew both care so much about your pet - it shows the moment they open the door. After having them watch our dog a handful of times, it feels more like bringing our dog to friends to babysit than anything else. It makes it so much easier to leave knowing that she is in such loving hands.”
“Veronica took very good care of our dog while we were away on a holiday. Our dog was very happy with her and had company to play with! I would definitely return to Veronica for our pet-sitting needs.”

“Lindsay watched my cat Harper three times over the last two months for a total of 13 days. She followed all of our instructions and sent the best pictures of our girl. Lindsay did an incredible job dropping in the check on the cat every day. We've never used a pet sitter before, and Lindsay went above and beyond. We will definitely be using her services again!”
“Elizabeth is the best! She has cared for our cat several times now, but our cat was recently diagnosed with diabetes and now needs more care. Elizabeth has handled it all like a pro, communicating clearly and being very patient with my nerves. Thank you!”
“Taylor was amazing with my cat while I was away for a week! She sent detailed updates and sweet photos, which put my mind at ease. She also went above and beyond making sure my cat got plenty of love and play time. Next time I travel, I will definitely be reaching out to Taylor again! 😊”
“Jennifer did an incredible job caring for our cat! She was thoroughly communicative, kind, and attentive to our cat's needs. She's professional and respectful and we highly recommend her!”
“Sarah is the best! She went out of her way to take care of my baby and she sends the best notes pics and updates. I always feel like Diego is in good hands with Sarah and it gives me such peace of mind when I am away. Thank you Sarah!”
“Maria did a wonderful job taking care of our two cats while we were away! I really appreciated the little updates and photos of how they were doing. They were happy and well taken care of, and I would definitely entrust our fur babies with Maria again in the future!”
“She was exactly who we needed to care for our finicky sweet cat. Abby communicated with us every time she visited with photos and videos of our kitty. She updated us on our kitty’s patterns and eating habits and learned when she wanted attention and when she needed a little space (so important for cats!). She was flexible with needing to find supplies in the house like trash bags when we didn’t leave enough out. Our cat clearly loved having her there and warmed up to her quickly. Bubs is usually visibly stressed after we are gone even with care but this time she was happy and relaxed when we got back. Abby was really the perfect cat sitter for us!!”
“Katerine & Brian did a great job taking care of my kitten! It was my first time leaving her home alone for multiple days in a row and they made sure they cared for her like their own. I received updates each day with many pictures which made leaving her a little more bearable. I will definitely use them in the future next time I need someone to watch my cat again!”
“Wonderful service! Alison was responsible, loving, and attentive. She is terrific with cats and i so appreciate her attentiveness and extra effort. I dont beleive my cat even noticed i was gone! Highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs.”
“Amanda took care of my cat while I was away and I couldn’t be happier with her service. She did an outstanding job, ensuring my cat was well fed, comfortable, and happy. Amanda provided regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
“I’m so grateful for Nina’s amazing care while I was away on vacation! She took great care of my two cats, followed all of my feeding instructions perfectly, and even cleaned their dishes after each meal. Most importantly, she spent lots of time playing with them, which made them so happy and helped ease any separation anxiety. Every day, I received photos, videos, and a detailed report, which made me feel completely at ease. I could tell my cats were truly loved and well cared for. Highly recommend!”
“Lei was wonderful with our shy cat and gave him excellent care. She was prompt, attentive to every detail, and went the extra mile. I’ll definitely trust her with our pets again!”
“Tara took great care of our cat while we were away. She made sure she was fed and looked after. She sent us detailed updates and photos. We would definitely work with Tara again!”
“Sierra took great care of our three cats. One even liked her enough to let her pet him! She communicated well with us and we felt our cats were in good hands when she came over.”
“Elise was excellent and helped us out very last minute, as our flight home was canceled. She offered to help within hours of us requesting service and went the extra mile with everything, thank you!”
“Colleen did a fantastic job with my shy kitty who was even more skittish following a recent move. Communication was seamless and, judging from the photos, my cat absolutely loved her. I hope to use her again and highly recommend her to others.”

“Another great session with Katerine & Brian. When I dropped off Mia, she was super excited and happy to see Katerine again. We also got some beautiful photos of Mia during the visit. Looking forward to continue to rely on Katerine for our doggy day care needs.”
“My husband and I were in DC for the weekend and had to check out of our hotel at 11am but wanted to still explore the city a bit before heading home. We needed somewhere for our dog iris to spend the day. We dropped her off at Prisila’s house while we went into DC. Prisila was very responsive and was flexible with drop off and pick times. The whole process was easy and convenient! If we come back to the city we would definitely let iris go over there again.”
“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.”
“Susan was wonderful! Accommodated Manni last minute and he came home very tired from playing with her sweet pups :) she has an awesome backyard which is hard to come by! Would definitely book with Susan again! ”
“Diana was great with Pisco! He had such a fun time and she took such good care of him. She’s very responsive, communicative, and makes sure to share fun memories as well. Even when Pisco wasn’t feeling the best she made sure he was comfortable and kept me informed. Would definitely recommend her and return for more bookings!”
“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.”
“My dog, Aspen, had a great day with Michelle and doggy friends. I rarely leave Aspen with sitters but she was so happy when I picked her up and napped the entire way home. Michelle was great about sending updates throughout the day. We’ll be going back!”
“Supon took great care of our dog Miles. He took him out on various walks and gave him some great chews and toys. Miles is a beagle that needs a lot of activity so I was happy to see that he was very tired after his day at Supon's. He went straight to bed when we got home and didn't even come into the kitchen when we were making food! At Supon's place Miles also got to hang out with other dogs and was able to be around people and dogs all day (his favorite thing!).”
“Juliet was very accommodating to my work schedule. She kept me informed with pictures and how Remi was doing throughout the day. She is caring, kind and sweet and will make sure your pup is taken great care of.”
“Five stars isn’t enough! My dog Harry absolutely adores Yiting. Every time she watches him, I know he’s not just being looked after, he’s having the BEST time. Whether it’s through play, cuddles or thoughtful little routines that makes him feel at home. She truly goes above and beyond to make sure the pets in her care feel loved, safe, and entertained. Her attention to detail, her kindness, and her deep love for animals shine through in everything she does. She also sends lots of great pictures and videos throughout the day! It’s such a relief to leave Harry in her hands, knowing he’ll be treated like family. I couldn’t recommend her more highly!”
About: I had two dogs growing up (Snowball and Mocha) and in recent years, have dog sat for friends, friends, and for Rover clients. It's rewarding and super fun for me! I enjoy the long walks in my neighborhood (I live in an awesome neighborhood for that) and lots of cuddles/belly rubs with the dogs I am sitting! I work from home most of the week and have plenty of time during the day for neighborhood strolls/walks with my rover pups. I love going for walks to take a break so would take the dog out at least 3 or 4 times a day with me. My husband and I live in a 2 bedroom/2 floor condo with a balcony. The dog would have access to the first floor. We have hard wood floors, a ton of really great light and are on the 3rd floor. There are no elevators in this building. We have a ton of neighbors who have dogs, an elementary school near by with a nice track/green space, and lots of side walk space for walks.
“I recommend Loreen to anyone who is looking for a pet sitter! She made my dog extremely comfortable and was able to accommodate to our last minute time changes. I will definitely be asking her to take care of Tofu the next time I’m out of town!”
“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.”

“Jen is a wonderful and caring rover for our dog! She’s trustworthy, friendly, is super great with our pup, and always very communicative. Five+ stars!”
“I was lucky to find Tasha, a new local dog walker in our town. She responds to messages quickly, is available for morning walks, friendly and, most importantly, punctual and reliable.”
“Elise has been walking my dog for several months now, and I couldn’t recommend her more. She is great with Remy and does such a phenomenal job at communicating! I always feel comfortable knowing she’s with him.”
“Sarah was amazing as a dog walker for my pups! She was very responsive, came exactly on time for the walk, and was clearly so sweet and loving with both of my dogs! One of my pups is quite shy and Sarah spent extra time with her to get her comfortable before the walk which was above and beyond amazing. Will absolutely book with her again in the future!”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for my own pets and working in a professional pet-care environment at PetSuites. As a pet owner, I understand the importance of providing animals with proper feeding, fresh water, exercise, attention, and a safe and comfortable environment. I currently care for my two dachshunds, Winston and Kai. My experience at PetSuites has also helped me develop strong skills in customer service, communication, pet handling, cleanliness, and making sure each pet receives attentive and compassionate care. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I have a flexible schedule and am available most hours, seven days a week. I can provide consistent, reliable care for pets while giving them plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and love. Pet care is already an important part of my daily routine. I care for my two dachshunds, Winston and Kai, by providing meals, fresh water, walks, playtime, exercise, attention, and lots of love. I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for.
About: My first "real job" was being a dog walker, where I would walk a cocker spaniel named Gonzo after school for 3 years. Since then I have dog and cat sat for neighbors through the years, both for short weekend trips and for longer multi-week trips requiring me to house sit as well. I fostered my first kitten for a month while in college, and helped foster over 30 cats and kittens during the pandemic since I had a little extra time on my hands. Over the past two years I have been pet/house sitting most months. I have watched everything from one dog or one cat for 4 days, to two cats and a dog for 2.5 weeks. I've watched puppies and kittens from 4 weeks old and on, and dogs and cats as old as 14 years. The actual breeds have been all over the place, but in terms of dog size I've watched everything from small terriers and daschhounds to huge labs and german shepherds. In addition to owning and caring for a goldendoodle for 11 years, I've also done a lot of pet sitting for my parents 6 year old rescue hound/lab mix and 4 year old rescue short-haired cat. While watching your dog(s) or cat(s) I would rearrange my schedule as needed to prioritize giving most of my attention to your pet(s). I work remote and generally have a flexible schedule, so I could feed/walk/care for your pet(s) following whatever schedule they are used to. I don't work on the weekends and would be able to dedicate any needed time on weekends to caring for your pet(s)! I am happy to care for your pet in your home the same way you typically do so that they maintain the same routine. Whether that means letting your dog(s) out in a fenced backyard, taking them for neighborhood or trail walks, going to a dog park, or following standard crate rules. Similarly for cats, I am happy to maintain the same feeding schedule, whether it's wet or dry food, and clean the litter box regularly. And of course, give your pets all the scratches and attention they want!
“I was impressed with Daniel right from the start! He is a very humble, respectful, responsible, kind young man who loves animals. My dog Sophie immediately took to him and she would have great walks with him. I asked a lot from Daniel when I went on holiday…and he delivered! He came to my home for 10 days to not only walk my dog but also feed her…give her medicine, and as a bonus, he played with her. Socializing w Sophie went a long way because she was alone most of the time. He would always be on time and, when another dog walker canceled, he quickly covered that shift. No questions or higher charge. He sent a lot of photos too. Since I’ve been back from my holiday, I’ve been in poor health. I texted Daniel and he is now my dog walker on days when I’m unable to take Sophie out myself. Again, punctual & always thinking about what’s best for my dog…. For example, He remembers to dry Sophie’s paws when they arrive from a walk in the snow or rain. I highly recommend Daniel as your dog walker or sitter.”
“Guiselle was friendly, timely and super professional! She sent multiple pics of our dog while they were on their walk and it really reassured my husband and I while we were at work! Looking forward to booking her again.”
“Anne did a great job communicating her availability and being timely on our scheduled walks. She also followed our requests to walk certain routes and handled Biscuit's route preferences and hesitations during the walk well. I really appreciate her patience and professionalism to keeping us in the loop on GPS tracking and his status during the walk. Thanks Anne!”
About: I am detail oriented and love to play with pups. If a schedule is provided, I will follow it as directed. I can walk, feed, and take pets out to potty. Your pet(s) will always be under my watch. Additionally there is someone home at all times in case I do need to step out. I also offer after hours/overnight potty breaks if needed, as late as 3am and as early as 7:30am. I also speak Spanish. I am available Monday to Friday and most weekends, which mostly depend on the time. I’m very flexible and can accommodate to you & your pet’s needs. I have a fenced front yard and backyard. Pups are always monitored anytime we’re outside. Also seperated when eating to ensure everyone ears their own meal. I can crate your dog if needed.
About: I have experience taking care of dogs of all different kinds from a young age! I have a strong love and appreciation for all dogs and their unconditional love. I was an elementary school teacher for 8 years so patience, organization and an intense sense of care are my strongest skills. I am currently in the process of finding a new remote job and am home during the week and most weekends! I love to walk and having a buddy to come with me would make my day. My hours and days are pretty flexible ♥️ I live in an apartment with plenty of outside space around the building to take any pups outside to play with. I don’t have any pets at home so your pet will have my full undivided attention 🤍
“Alice was a wonderful dog walker. Her attention to details on how giving care for your pup will be notch. She was also very responsive and good with communication leaving you worry free regarding the care of your dog. Alice was very punctual and very attentive. My do definitely enjoyed and appreciate her company during visits. I highly recommend her assistance and we personally will definitely re-book her again!”
“What a pleasure Liliana is! She was so patient with both me & my newly adopted pup. She really took the time to understand both of our needs! So happy I found a great dog walker in the area!”

“Outstanding host! She took excellent care of our English bulldog and provided funny notes and photos throughout his stay. We will absolutely book with Jen again! 5 stars!”
“Super nice family with great communication from beginning to end. Very understanding with flexible times of drop off or pick up. Covey felt perfectly at home and we knew that when we saw pictures of him lounging on the family’s couch! It was a great experience for us to know he was in good hands and getting affection and attention to his care as if he was there own dog.”
“We were so happy with our experience with Helena and Nathan! After another Rover cancelled on us last minute, they fit us in and truly saved the day! Their yard was amazing - especially for our 95 lb mutt who just loves to run. And our little old man loved the cozy beds around the house. They sent pics and videos every day and our boys came back happy and healthy. As a bonus, while we have noticed our dogs often come back from Rovers smelling like a kennel, after a weekend with Helena and Nathan they came back smelling great!”

“Carrie and Matthew both care so much about your pet - it shows the moment they open the door. After having them watch our dog a handful of times, it feels more like bringing our dog to friends to babysit than anything else. It makes it so much easier to leave knowing that she is in such loving hands.”
“I had an amazing experience with Paula! She took such great care of my dog and sent frequent videos, photos, and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was on vacation. She took him on regular walks, and he absolutely loved playing with her wonderful dogs. I could tell he was happy and comfortable the entire time. I’m so grateful for her care and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving and responsible sitter!”
“Thoughtful, sent plenty of updates. This was our first time away from our puppy, and she put our mind at ease. Her pup Bentley is a sweetheart.”

Jackie came home happy and healthy - all that you could ask for in a Rover stay. We will definitely be back to Brian’s house in the future!”
“Seymour had a great time with Michelle. He enjoyed romping in the big backyard with her dog Cinnamon and snuggling with Michelle. Michelle sent updates and pictures each day. We will book with Michelle the next time we need a sitter for Seymour.”
“Scout had an excellent stay with Melissa and her family. We received daily updates with photos of all the fun she was having, which gave us peace of mind while we were our of town. We will definitely use Melissa again if we need a sitter and would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter for their dog!”
