“My pup had the time of his life with Maria and Matthew. They treated him like he was part of the family right from the start, I was reassured knowing he was in great hands!”
“Lauren was wonderful and Winston was in such great hands. We got pictures of him and we knew he had become a part of their family during our trip. Winston gives his stay 5 stars too! Thank you Lauren!”
“Eric and his family were phenomenal with my highly energetic, easily bored, pup! It’s a little scary leaving your dog for a week, but Eddy was very well taken care during his stay! He updated us when needed, and assured us how well Eddy was doing. The communication and pictures of my dog helped ease the nerves and certainly assured us all was great! We will definitely be reaching out to Eric again the next time we head to NC, and I highly recommend Eric if you’re looking for a great dog sitter!”
“We loved Amanda! Duke had a great time spending time with Amanda, and she was so helpful and responsive from day one. We got tons of pictures and updates, and loved seeing what Duke was up to all weekend. Amanda was also really flexible with pick up and drop off times, which was so helpful to us when our flight was delayed 4 hours! We had a great experience and will definitely be using Amanda again in the future. This was our first Rover experience, and I'm glad we had this option for Duke who loves people so much and just wouldn't thrive in a kennel atmosphere. Thank you Amanda for taking such great care of Duke!”
“Meagan was awesome! Especially with a last minute booking, she was available for meet and greet prior and asked and answered any questions with ease. Throughout the stay her communications were excellent and she sent great pictures. We didn’t worry on our trip because we knew Lyra was in great hands! We knew Lyra was treated as family while in her stay! Would 100 percent book her again!”
“Cassandra and Tradd were awesome! They treated Ginger like a member of their family. We received updates and pictures her entire stay. They will be our go-too for Ginger's care from now on.”
“Jen was absolutely wonderful! She was incredibly helpful and super accommodating from start to finish. She sent me pictures and videos every day, which gave me so much peace of mind. I had a few special requests, and she had no problem fulfilling them for me. She truly went above and beyond to make sure all my needs were met. If you’re looking for someone reliable, caring, and attentive to watch your pup, Jen is the perfect choice!”
“This was my first time ever using Rover. This experience with finding Eugene was remarkable. Eugene provided daily updates with pictures and he is truly a dog lover. My Five month old Cavapoo “Gracie”had a great time with Eugene. I definitely recommend Eugene as a sitter you will not be disappointed. Thank you again Eugene for your service.”
“Sherry was very helpful and responsive. This was our first time leaving our dogs and using Rover. Sherry sent us photos and updates during our trip. Our dogs loved her family too! We will definitely call Sherry on our next trip”
“Wendy was awesome taking care of our pup on short notice! She was very accommodating to our schedule and made logistics easy. It was clear Ollie felt right at home. Highly recommend!”
“Coco loved Beverly from the moment she saw her! I was surprised to see how she ran up to her, tail wagging and excited, just as she does when she sees my mom. Beverly was sweet and warm to Coco and even showed genuine concern for her allergies, giving tips to help. I will definitely return to Beverly.”
“Our chocolate lab Elka took to John immediately. She followed him around, seeking his attention, and happily received it. John has an ideal set up for boarding…large fenced yard……his own dogs for companionship….and comfortable beds/couches that are open for use. I would gladly board my dog with John again!”
“5 stars is not enough. I’d like to give Christina 10 stars. I felt comfortable from the 1st moment we met. My Theo has never been anywhere without his family. Theo did Amazing. Theo was a rescue dog and he wasn’t treated well by his original family. He usually never leaves my side in new places. When we went to Christina’s he was Happy and walked away from me to explore. Which was a 1st for him. Theo loves children and Christina has sweet little ones. I got pictures through out the day and updates. More than I ever expected. Super Happy!!!”
“Brittany did an amazing job with watching my Mac! She sent me lots of pics throughout the day to keep me updated on how he was doing and his adventures. She made me feel like he was in the best of hands. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for an overnight sitter. I will definitely be a repeat client for sure!”
“I was a bit nervous about leaving our dog Guus, especially since he was raised with Dutch commands. But we’re so grateful to have found such a loving American family where he truly came into his own. They took wonderful care of him and kept us updated with photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. We’re very happy with how they treated Guus and truly appreciated the warm and easy communication. Thank you for everything!”
“Leslie was amazing! Our dogs are generally not good around strangers or other dogs so it becomes very difficult to find a dog boarder. Leslie's exceptional experience with dogs kept them right at home at her place. I was hesitant because she has a young daughter but she insisted that they became best friends. Her love and care towards animals showed and I would trust her over and over again to take care of my fur children. Thanks Leslie!”
“Michelle is absolutely amazing! She took such great care of our sweet girl Jewel ! We received lots of great pictures and communication! Jewel definitely was living her best life and had a great doggy vacay while we were also on vacation ! I would recommend her to everyone !”
“Katja did a terrific job taking care of my sweet little dog! She sent me updates and pictures every day to let me know how she was doing, she even sent me a couple of videos. Katja and her family treated my baby like part of their family. I would definitely hire her again!”
“Tina is so amazing! This was my first experience with boarding for Annie and Tina made us feel so comfortable! She send me updates on Annie’s eating and play with photos and more! I will forever check in with Tina’s availability for our boarding needs!”

“My cat Jade typically hides from everyone but me, people joke all the time about my invisible cat. I was truly amazed when I saw photos of her interacting with Anna during the drop-in visits. It is obvious Anna has a way with fur babies and I highly recommend her.”
“10/10 will be calling Audrey back if I have to leave town again! A true animal lover, so caring and thoughtful. She has absolutely eased my anxiety being away from my cat and leaving him alone for the first time since his sister died. I couldn’t have asked for better care.”

“We are so happy that we used this app and found the perfect pet sitter. Madison is amazing. She showed up on time every day, gave us updates twice daily and she truly loves animals. I felt completely at ease knowing our cats were in the best possible care. She will be the first person we will book with on our next travel and I highly recommend her!”
“Sarah was absolutely amazing! She followed every instruction I left, respected my home, and truly went above and beyond. She brought her own toys to keep my cats entertained, which I really appreciated, and she kept me updated with excellent communication throughout the entire booking. I loved receiving the many pictures she sent because they gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that she genuinely cared for my pets and treated them like her own. I came home to happy cats, and everything was exactly as I had left it. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I will definitely be booking with Sarah again, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable, thoughtful, and caring!”
“A HUGE weight was lifted while we were gone this holiday season using Jessica’s services to watch our two cats. She is kind, caring, and prompt. She went out of her way to come and meet our boys and better understand our needs. She exceeded our expectations and even took the time to play and give attention. You won’t be disappointed and there’s a reason for all these 5-star reviews - she’ll treat your babies like her very own and then some. Thank you again, Jessica!”

I currently work a standard 9-to-5 schedule, making me the perfect fit for dedicated overnight house sitting, early morning walks, and evening/weekend care. Because of my kennel background, I am trained in reading dog behavior, managing multi-dog households, and safely administering medications while keeping your home structured and safe I work a traditional 9-to-5 job Monday through Friday, which makes my schedule perfectly tailored for dedicated overnight house sitting where your dog gets undivided attention all evening and night. I am also fully available for drop-ins and walks early in the morning before work, anytime after 5:30 PM on weeknights, and completely open all day on weekends. I always put safety first, but I prefer to keep things relaxed and low-stress for your pup. Having spent a few years working in a boarding facility, I am really comfortable reading dog body language and knowing how to handle different temperaments or unexpected situations calmly. I treat every home I visit with a ton of respect, and since I work a steady 9-to-5, my routine is super predictable. I stick strictly to whatever feeding, medication, or locking routines you already have in place so your dog's schedule doesn't skip a beat.

He came home so happy, and it's obvious he had a great time playing because he's completely exhausted and has been sleeping ever since. 😄 Communication with Eric was excellent from start to finish, and having his wife speak Spanish was a huge plus for me.

“So thankful I found Bethany and her family! I had an issue with a previous sitter and I was nervous about finding another. Jax had the best time with them at doggy day care yesterday and today. I loved that I got multiple updates throughout the day, and a cute report card at the end! I know my baby is well taken care of with them!”
About: I currently have two well loved pups, both on daily medication. I believe every pup deserves love, regardless of behavior or perceived aggression.

“My pup had the time of his life with Maria and Matthew. They treated him like he was part of the family right from the start, I was reassured knowing he was in great hands!”
“Lauren was wonderful and Winston was in such great hands. We got pictures of him and we knew he had become a part of their family during our trip. Winston gives his stay 5 stars too! Thank you Lauren!”
“Eric and his family were phenomenal with my highly energetic, easily bored, pup! It’s a little scary leaving your dog for a week, but Eddy was very well taken care during his stay! He updated us when needed, and assured us how well Eddy was doing. The communication and pictures of my dog helped ease the nerves and certainly assured us all was great! We will definitely be reaching out to Eric again the next time we head to NC, and I highly recommend Eric if you’re looking for a great dog sitter!”
“Meagan was awesome! Especially with a last minute booking, she was available for meet and greet prior and asked and answered any questions with ease. Throughout the stay her communications were excellent and she sent great pictures. We didn’t worry on our trip because we knew Lyra was in great hands! We knew Lyra was treated as family while in her stay! Would 100 percent book her again!”
“Sherry was very helpful and responsive. This was our first time leaving our dogs and using Rover. Sherry sent us photos and updates during our trip. Our dogs loved her family too! We will definitely call Sherry on our next trip”
“Wendy was awesome taking care of our pup on short notice! She was very accommodating to our schedule and made logistics easy. It was clear Ollie felt right at home. Highly recommend!”
“Our chocolate lab Elka took to John immediately. She followed him around, seeking his attention, and happily received it. John has an ideal set up for boarding…large fenced yard……his own dogs for companionship….and comfortable beds/couches that are open for use. I would gladly board my dog with John again!”
“Brittany did an amazing job with watching my Mac! She sent me lots of pics throughout the day to keep me updated on how he was doing and his adventures. She made me feel like he was in the best of hands. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for an overnight sitter. I will definitely be a repeat client for sure!”
“I was a bit nervous about leaving our dog Guus, especially since he was raised with Dutch commands. But we’re so grateful to have found such a loving American family where he truly came into his own. They took wonderful care of him and kept us updated with photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. We’re very happy with how they treated Guus and truly appreciated the warm and easy communication. Thank you for everything!”
“Leslie was amazing! Our dogs are generally not good around strangers or other dogs so it becomes very difficult to find a dog boarder. Leslie's exceptional experience with dogs kept them right at home at her place. I was hesitant because she has a young daughter but she insisted that they became best friends. Her love and care towards animals showed and I would trust her over and over again to take care of my fur children. Thanks Leslie!”
“Michelle is absolutely amazing! She took such great care of our sweet girl Jewel ! We received lots of great pictures and communication! Jewel definitely was living her best life and had a great doggy vacay while we were also on vacation ! I would recommend her to everyone !”
“Katja did a terrific job taking care of my sweet little dog! She sent me updates and pictures every day to let me know how she was doing, she even sent me a couple of videos. Katja and her family treated my baby like part of their family. I would definitely hire her again!”
“Emmy had a fantastic stay with Dalton and his family! Dalton was very detailed and asked plenty of questions prior to the stay to make sure he knew how to take care of Emmy and there wasn’t anything he was missing. I had complete trust that Emmy was in good hands and I would rebook in a heartbeat.”

“It was a great experience booking Nanook with Kathleen. I would recommend her highly and I'm definitely going back. I can see the entire time that Nanook was having a good time. Kathleen genuinely loves dogs and it shows. Five stars!!!”
“Absolutely wonderful! My spoiled and picky old man stayed with Lillian and Timothy for the first time, and I could not have asked for better and more considerate care. They cleverly found ways to get him to take his medication when he was being fussy with his usual turkey wraps. And they sent lots of pictures of him enjoying walks, having cozy naps, and getting plenty of attention and love. 10/10 recommend!”
“Hailey was able to watch my lil chunky boy on short notice and did the absolute most to show me that she was being well cared for as I was out to sea for work! BOOK WITH HER SHES AMAZING. Another perk when I got home he smelled of sweet vanilla and I was obsessed”
“Charlie had an amazing stay with Stacy and fam! He got to play outside in a fun fenced-in yard with another fur friend and human friends. He also got to eat some natural dog treats. He will be back!”
