“Christine was great. She was patient with our year-old dog on his first stay away from home without us. This was in spite of his puppy energy and the fact that he apparently cried his first night there and stole a number of items, including at least one shoe. He seemed calm and relaxed when we picked him up — happy to see us but not frantic. In other words, after some initial anxiety, he appears to have calmed down and enjoyed himself.”

“Matthew with family is very accommodating and will entertain your dog for a great price! They went swimming and on long walks. Executed Ozzie’s food plan and supplements no problem. They sleep in the bed with their dogs which my dog liked. I’ll be a return customer if they’ll have us.”

“I left my dog Archie with Francise for a couple days and she was great with him! He’s an anxious one and when I went to get him he seemed so happy and comfortable. Francise was great with accommodating me and had great communication while I was away.”

“Elizabeth was my first sitter using Rover and she will be my go-to from now on! She took great care of my love and sent lots of photos while I was away. I'm very grateful to have found Elizabeth!”

“Nani is a fantastic sitter. She is kind and treats your pup like her own. She is patient and flexible. My dog really enjoys his stays with her. I highly recommend her. I love the updates and photo’s too.”

“Lia was responsive and sent detailed updates throughout each day. Lia was also very flexible with some last minute changes I needed to make to the booking. Foxy had a great time staying with her!”

“My dog Tako was extremely well taken care of and I got frequent updates. Shanilka was very easy to communicate with and she was very flexible as my travel plans changed due to the weather. I will absolutely be using her again if I ever need!”
“Shaela did a great job caring for Astro on his 10 day stay with her and her pup, Luna. She was patient with his finnicky eating habits and tried her best to get him to eat. Luna and Astro coexisted peacefully during the stay, with no issues reported. Shaela sent a couple of photos and provided updates every couple of days. The neighborhood is busier than what Astro is accustomed to which scared him, but he eventually grew comfortable. I would leave Astro with Shaela and Luna again!”


“Kelly was great and I felt comfortable leaving my pup with her. She was quick to respond to my request, to set up a meet and greet, and easygoing re: drop off and pickup. I will gladly book her again the next time I have a need.”

“Joseph was very communicative and shared pictures of our pups with us daily. He followed all directions we gave him and made sure our pups feel at home under his care. I would recommend Joseph as a pet sitter and would entrust him with watching our pups again in the future. Thanks for taking care of our babies!”

“Jodee and AJ are great. They were so patient as I worked through multiple schedule changes with my job leading up to the booking. My two beagirls were right at home with them and I enjoyed getting a few pictures/update each day. Both came home happy and healthy. We'll re-book with them for any future out of town trips.”

“Super responsive, super friendly, sent tons of pictures and videos during the stay. Even went above and beyond to handle some of our dog's particular issues/factors.”

“Laurie and Richard were amazing with my older little pup with anxiety. She loved her stay with them and they catered to her needs so well. The communication and updates were wonderful!”

“Rae cared for Kenzo with so much love and attention while I was away on my business trip. I’m deeply grateful for the peace of mind she gave me, knowing he was safe and happy for all four nights!”

“Erin is excellent. She took great care of my girl (my dog), responds quickly to questions and kept me updated with respect to how my dog) was doing. My dog seemed very content and relaxed with Erin. I highly recommend Erin and would use her again to take care of my dog.”

“Colleen and her family took wonderful care of my dog. She is a very trustworthy and conscientious dog mom. I appreciate that her home has a fenced yard. She also was able to administer daily high drops to my senior dog. I received updates and photos. Thank you Colleen and family!”

“Stephanie was such a great host to my dog Bruno, she maintained communication/updates throughout the visit and was very attentive to my instructions for Bruno given he has a hard time adjusting to new places. Would definitely book with them again! -Lindsay”

“Our dog, James, was in great hands with Evan! Very kind and communicative from first message through the visit. James had a great time and came home happy! Looking forward to booking again.”

“I had a great experience with this sitter and would absolutely book again. My cat is extremely shy and usually hides from anyone new, so I wasn’t expecting much interaction—but she still went above and beyond. She took the time to find her, got a photo so I knew she was okay, made sure she had fresh food, and even fully changed out her litter. It gave me a lot of peace of mind knowing my cat was being cared for properly, even if she wasn’t coming out to socialize. You can tell she’s patient, attentive, and genuinely cares about the animals she’s watching. Highly recommend, especially if you have a more anxious or reserved pet.”

“Aimee is great with our two cats. She's really made friends and takes time to play with them. We feel very comfortable leaving the cats in her care and she sends lots of great photos.”

“Emili was excellent; she took great care of our cat. She sent numerous photos and kept us updated on all interactions. She was very respectful of our cat, giving him the time and space he needed to acclimate. We will definitely use her services again!”


“Tara is the best. If you are in need of pet care (we have cats), you want someone like Tara watching over them when you’re not able. Rover: why do you cap custom tips? Sort of defeats the purpose…”

“Juliana was fantastic! I was dealing with a pretty difficult situation with my cats and she was incredibly attentive and responsive and did everything needed to make sure my cats were happy and healthy. Would absolutely book her to watch them again!”


“I would highly recommend Nicole for your pet sitting needs! She took great care of my cat while I was away and left detailed updates so I knew he was in good hands.”


“Julia and Spencer are great with our cats! They spend plenty of time playing with our high energy kittens. They take awesome pics and give us thorough updates! Thanks again!”


“Lisa did a great job taking care of my cat! He has some special food needs and she followed my instructions perfectly. He definitely enjoyed his time with her! I’d absolutely recommend Lisa to any other pet parents in need of a sitter!”


“Back to back great experiences with Heather! She took care of our cat multiple times for drop in visits and made sure she was safe and fed and also provided great updates for our peace of mind. Heather is very responsive and reliable and we will continue to rely on her when we travel!”

“Orianne provided care for my cat for the first time last week while I was out of town. I appreciated that she responded to my request sort of last minute. She was on-time and provided all the services I requested for each visit. She immediately reported an issue when it happened and it was quickly resolved. I would highly recommend Orianne for pet care.”


“Ann was an incredible pet sitter. She was well-organized, always kept us informed about our cat's status, and consistently went above and beyond to ensure our cat had a positive experience. If I ever need a pet sitter, I will definitely go with Ann again, and I could not recommend her more.”


“Tiffanie was extremely attentive and thorough in her care of Moxie. She shared detailed reports, plenty of pictures, and cleaned up hairballs. Our cat took to her immediately, greeting her at the door both days and seemed to really love pets and cuddles with Tiffanie. Tiffanie was so prompt in communication with booking and made the entire process from request to visit seamless and easy. I'd absolutely have Tiffanie catsit again!”


“Emily was fantastic! She took excellent care of my kitties while I was out of town, especially SirRiy who demands a lot of love and playtime. She was very communicative and went above and beyond. I would high recommend her to anyone who needs help with their fur babies and will definitely be using her again.”

“hillary did a great job with my three kitties! :) she also went above and beyond and helped me out with my litter robot that was having problems. would definitely trust her and book her in the future!”
“Erin came by to see my kitty a couple times while I was on vacation, and took such good care of him! She cuddled with him and made sure his litter, water, and food were taken care of! I know my kitty loved having her as his companion while I was gone. She was easy to communicate with! I would certainly recommend Erin for your pet sitting needs!”

“Iulia is absolutely awesome! My dog, Zeta stayed with Iulia these past two weeks and came home a happy and tired hound.

Her process is reassuring, she is reliable and a genuinely great person who takes her doggy day care seriously. Highly recommend!”

“Haley was a real lifesaver for us. We had a very last-minute request due to an emergency and needed someone we could trust with our senior dog, and Haley agreed to watch him without hesitation. She took great care of him and gave us real peace of mind during a stressful situation. She was also very flexible with our pickup time, which we really appreciated. We’re incredibly grateful and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”

“I always get nervous leaving my 1 year old pup with someone new, but Elizabeth was absolutely wonderful and exceeded all my expectations. I could tell immediately that she’s a dog person, and she sent me tons of updates throughout the day. I’m so grateful for her and will be booking again next time I need daycare!”

“This was a last minute stay & my family was very impressed with the customer service, communication and experience. We felt safe leaving him for the day.”

“Amal and Pepper know how to make other peoples’ dogs feel welcomed and cared for. This is the second time I have left my dog with Amal, and it’s been another great experience. Definitely recommend to other owners in the area.”

“Shadow was happy when I dropped her off and when I picked her up. She received cuddles and was super content on the pictures. I highly recommend Fengyuan!”

“Hk took really good care of my then 10 month golden doodle. Hk stayed in touch with me throughout the day, and at the end of the visit provided good and honest feedback about my dog's stay.”

About: I am a pet lover. I grew up in a home with many pets including dogs and cats and have always had a special connection to animals. I love going on long walks and heading to the dog park when the weather is nice. I am here to help you care for your pet the best way possible. I'll always listen to special instructions and will show your pet the love and attention as if they were my own. I have a flexible schedule and am able to do "drop-in visits" and "rover now" walks during most week days when many walkers are unavailable. I am in the office two days a week, Tuesdays and a flex day.

I also have experience with dogs with separation anxiety and food or environmental allergies. 📷 You’ll receive regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pup is happy and well cared for. **I live in an apartment building, so I can't safely accommodate large dogs that are reactive to people or other dogs, since it's not possible to completely avoid encounters in shared spaces.** I can accommodate regular walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and check-ins, and I’m able to adjust my routine to meet your dog’s needs. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my priority. I follow all care instructions, use leashes on walks, and provide a calm, secure environment with regular updates.
“Jen and Louis saved the day and came through for me and my chiweenie Willar when I really needed a sitter who understands my senior pup's needs. Willar has dietary restrictions and some quirks, and Jen was attentive, followed all the instructions for Willar's routine, and she asked very thoughtful questions. Additionally, her dog Louis is so welcoming and sweet. They really helped with some transitions I'm going through and were very accommodating.”

“Julia walked my two dogs all summer while I was working. From the beginning, Julia took the time to make sure she understood my (very detailed!) preferences, always made sure she got things right, and was accommodating for schedule changes and when we moved. Julia was such a big help and I could entrust her with walking my two fur-babies. She is great!”

About: I love all dogs, but I've grown up taking care of primarily large dogs like Pitbulls. My neighbors rely on me very often to take care of their pets when needed.

Pet care is already built into my daily routine, so please let me know how I can make your day easier by spending some time with your fur baby. During the walks your fur baby is my main focus. I love going for long walks to get some energy out, but short walks are also nice. I walk my sweet dog separately from other fur babies to alleviate the stress of dog introductions.

“Carolina has been great. She came out to meet our dog, Max, and was not at all put off by his size (95 pounds) or energy (overly enthusiastic), which can be intimidating. She keeps us posted on all of his walks, and (most importantly) Max seems very happy with the arrangement.”
