“Lilly was extremely patient and truly showed her experience with our dog. When our dog shows signs of discomfort when she first arrived at Lilly's home, Lilly and her entire family showed a true understanding of dog behavior by giving our dog space and reading her emotions when approaching her. Lilly gave us constant updates and photos while we were away and never let us feel like our dog wasn't care for. I highly recommend Lilly and we will definitely be using her again in the future.”
“I am so grateful to Rebecca. She was willing to accept a senior dog with medical needs pretty last minute. She was super kind and helpful when meeting, and she gives plenty of updates while you're away. I have nothing but praise for her, as my dog had a medical emergency while in her care and she was able to notice it early based on behavior alone. It ended up that I came back and had to put the dog down as it was her time to go, but thanks to her I had time to say goodbye. I would trust her with any pet, and I will always be grateful for how she cared for my old girl. - Kaitlyn (mom of Gerti)”
“Kimberly was a great dog sitter for my dog (Luna). She sent updates daily with pictures. She was very thoughtful and a great care taker. I would define have her dog sit again.”
“Marcela is wonderful! I appreciate that she was able to take in my pup at the last minute. She sent daily photo and status updates. I was able to reach her when I needed and she would be super responsive. Prior to boarding, she was patient, answered all of my questions, and really made me feel comfortable leaving my pup in her care. Thank you, Marcela!”
“Gail is amazing. So much so that I don’t giz wanted to come home lol. She sent several updates and made me feel at ease. This is my first time using the service and I was extremely nervous but Gail put all my nerves at ease. I will highly recommend Gail if you would like a caring person who will treat your dog as her own. Thank you Gail you are AWESOME!”
“Stephanie was very responsive and receptive to a meet and greet before booking. I was nervous, as our dog was still recovering from surgery, but at the meet and greet, Stephanie made me feel very comfortable and was very accommodating to Sasha. She was very open to our weird schedules for drop off and pick up. We will definitely book her again!”
“Katie and fam takes great care of our little one when we are out of town! We would highly recommend Katie; she keeps us updated with pics and lets us know how things are going throughout. We never have to worry about a thing and we can just have a great time on vacation.”
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Nancy and the amazing care she provided for my dog! From the moment we met, it was clear how much she genuinely loves animals. My dog felt comfortable and happy in her care, and she went above and beyond to ensure every need was met. Her attention to detail, reliability, and warm personality truly set her apart. I am so grateful for her exceptional service and will definitely recommend her to anyone looking for top-notch care for their furry friends. Thank you, Nancy, for being so amazing!”
“Jim did it again for us! He took care of our dog, Keetna once again. Jim has become a home away from for him. It makes it so much easier to leave him when we can trust Jim with his care (and some loving on him).”
“We thought we were going on vacation - nope, our dogs had the vacation of their lives!!! They love Mary and she clearly loves animals. Our beagle actually moped on the ride home 😂🤣”
“We had a wonderful experience with Jona. She is kind, patient, and took the time to truly understand our dogs' needs and routine. Communication was excellent, with regular updates and photos that gave us real peace of mind. Jona is incredibly attentive, not just to our dog, but to all the dogs in her care, and creates a warm, comfortable environment where pets feel at home. We would happily book with Jona again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.”
“Coco spent a week with Ann and Richard. I was updated with pictures and notes each day. They have a lovely backyard yard and Coco looked like he had a fabulous time. I enjoyed my own trip even more knowing Coco was so well cared for. I will definitely rebook with Ann and Richard again!! Thanks so so much!!”
“Sarah has been such a great sitter to our super energetic and playful dog, Tex. She is patient and kind and always sends us updates which gives us peace of mind while we’re away. Thanks for being so wonderful to our dog, Sarah!”
“Jizelle was fantastic! This was our first time boarding Whitney using Rover (or ever for that matter) and Jizelle made everything so easy. From initial communication, to meeting her and her lovely pups at the meet and greet, all of our interactions with Jizelle confirmed that Whitney was in great hands while we were away. Jizelle was also very flexible with a last minute request to shift the drop off earlier than planned and provided us with regular photos and updates to let us know how things were going - she even braved foot high snow and ice to ensure that Whitney had adequate walks and fresh air following a once-in-a-decade snowmageddon! I 100% plan to utilize Jizelle's boarding services going forwards and would not hesitate to give her my strongest recommendation.”
“Vronnie is absolutely amazing! (a little too amazing because my pup didn’t want to leave lol) The initial meet & greet made us feel so comfortable, it felt like we’d known each other for years. Her home is immaculate & just as welcoming as she is. She kept my baby excercised, and made sure to send plenty of pictures/updates. I will absolutely be using Vronnie’s services again, and I highly recommend her!”
“Connor took amazing care of my sweet girl! We will definitely be booking with him again. He provided lots of pictures every day and gave her lots of walks and attention. Gave us peace of mind while we were out of the country.”
“Valerie and her family took amazing care of our dog. It was the first time we have left him anywhere and he’s a bit of an anxious guy but they were able to make him feel calm and happy.”

“Olivia is amazing. She takes great care of my two cats and played with them. She even gets the fussy one to eat! While I was gone, she gave me daily updates and photos so I didn't have to worry about them. I cannot recommend her more highly. She's a great person and worth trusting with your pets and your house.”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best cat sitter I could have asked for! I’m very particular about my cats’ care, and I left detailed written instructions along with videos. She followed everything exactly, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She even brushed my long-haired cats, which I really appreciated and wasn’t something I expected. When I got home, they were happy, well cared for, and the whole experience was completely stress-free. It was obvious they had been looked after with genuine care and attention to detail. I would absolutely trust her with my cats again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and attentive pet sitter!”
“Wyatt is so good with my cats. One of my cats is very shy and skittish with strangers, but Wyatt was able to earn his trust quickly. Wyatt is always very attentive to their needs and great at communicating any issues that come up during his visits.”
“I was very impressed Marcela. She did a wonderful job and I would highly recommend her to anyone. Marcela was able to get my two cats to come out from hiding during her visits. She performed all of the tasks that I asked and kept me informed of any concerns. A job well done Marcella”
“Miss Hannah is absolutely a pleasure to work with we could not recommend her more. Her care for our boys has been absolutely wonderful. She always truly cared for them. Whether it was their litter box is being full or make sure that they are comfortable and make sure they also had tons of love and playtime again we could not recommend her thank you so much Hannah🥹🙏🌷🌞😺😺✨🏡”
“Another great visit with denisa. Very thorough and always responsive. Kitty was really happy to see her and was very loved. Used her in past and will be using her every time we go away.”
“Samantha was amazing!! She took care of both my babies and she was great, my cats were comfortable with her. She was very communicative and kept me updated with pictures!! It’s nice to know we have a trusted pet sitter for the next time we travel!”
“We had an exceptional experience with Kerry! Not only did she maintain clear and prompt communication throughout her stay, but she also ensured our house was tidy when we returned. Our two cats were well-cared for; it was clear they got all the love and attention they needed. Additionally, her assistance with feeding our fish was much appreciated. We would definitely use her again to look after our cats and fish again without hesitation.”
“Taylor was fantastic with my cats. She is extremely communicative and took great care of my cats while I was away. I would highly recommend her to anyone. I am looking forward to working with you again. Thank you :)”
“Paige was absolutely wonderful with my crabby old kitty. My cat is a little wary of strangers and Paige knew exactly how to handle her and make her feel more comfortable. She also was so accommodating and flexible. I truly appreciate her. I am so happy she was available to take care of my baby!”
“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”
“Amanda was amazing! She spent time with our girls and was communicative and prompt. She was flexible and helped us modify our booking when we had to cut our trip short due to illness. We absolutely would book again with Amanda for future needs!”

Huge thank you to Dana for bearing with our extra detailed care instructions and for generally making everything super easy for us! We’ll definitely reach out again for the next trip.”
“Laura took great care of our very particular, needy cat. She was patient and understanding. Sbe gave frequent updates about what was going on with our cat to include messages and pictures. Highly recommend her!”

“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”
“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. ❤️”
“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.”
“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!”
“Jona did a fantastic job caring for Silly this week. Silly loved going to Jona’s house and definitely came home more well-mannered. Jona did a great job working with Silly and her needs. I highly recommend and will be bringing Silly girl back for sure!”
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 recently watched my puppy, Zek, and did an exceptional job. She was attentive, loving, and communicative throughout the entire time. Zek enjoyed every moment with her and felt comfortable in the cozy environment she provided. I was impressed by her care and dedication, and I would highly recommend Tamara to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter.”
“Eddie was very happy with his visit to Heather, she kept him busy (which he loves) and showed him all the attention he craves as well. Highly recommend Heather for everyone's fur babies.”
“Jennifer was absolutely amazing! She’s incredibly knowledgeable about dogs and it’s so clear how much she cares for them. She made my own dog feel right at home! I really appreciated all her communication and her flexibility on my pick up time. Will 100% book again. Thank you Jennifer!”
“Adriana has been an amazing sitter for Rosie! Rosie is always excited to see her, which gives me peace of mind whenever I leave her in Adriana’s care. She is responsible, reliable, and incredibly accommodating, and I always know Rosie will be well cared for. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter.”
“My pup and I are regular clients of Miguelina’s. She and her family are wonderful! They’re always willing to care for my dog (even on super short notice!), are super flexible, and take excellent care of him. I cannot recommend her enough! She’s great!”
“Our dog's stay with Katie was great! I really appreciated how she took the time to get to know his quirks and habits, and he was very well taken care of. You can tell that she genuinely cares about animals. I would definitely recommend her.”
“We are so thankful to have found Jim. We had a last minute issue finding coverage for our 9 month old puppy for a day trip and he was able to take her for a day care day last minute. He sent us pictures of her throughout the day and she came home super happy and super exhausted. Jim is so accommodative and friendly and we are so thankful to have found him. We are planning to use his services for a longer vacation over the summer. Highly recommend Jim if you’re in need of someone to watch your furbaby.”
“Veronica always takes amazing care of our little Shih Tzu, Josie. She is very kind, and Josie gets so excited when it's time for her to go play with her furry friends! Thank you, Veronica!”
“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.”
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.
“Another amazing visit with Carlos! My dog was soooo excited to see Carlos again which says A LOT because he is not like that with all humans. Definitely gives me peace of mind that my little guy feels so safe and happy. The quality of care Carlos provides is above and beyond any dogsitter I have ever encountered. I highly recommend Carlos.”

“Thanks for taking such great care of Lenny! I appreciate your willingness to meet him in advance, and I loved seeing the pics. It was great to know he was in good hands while I was gone!”
“Denisa was extremely helpful, understanding, and loving 🥰. She went above and beyond to ensure I was receiving text messages during my trip where I didn’t have access to Wi-Fi. I had a very relaxing vacation time knowing my furry child was in great hands! She also used her language skills to communicate with my mom, who doesn’t speak English, and maintained open communication regarding schedule changes and other challenges we faced. My child is one of those stubborn ones, however, she did what a good pet sitter would do, but she added love ❤️, fun and joy to Polito’s potty time. Every picture and video she shared, showed a super excited and happy child! I highly recommend her! 🥰🐶💕🐾”
“Hannah is absolutely awesome! I booked her for a week to care for King, and she was incredibly timely, engaging, and focused on his needs every single day. She provided detailed notes after each visit, sent wonderful photos during their walks, and even left a sweet, handwritten thank-you note at the end of the booking. To top it off, when another walker had a last-minute transportation emergency this morning, I contacted Hannah, and she went completely out of her way to come out and help us on short notice. She is always responsive, highly professional, and truly cares about King. I cannot recommend her enough!”
“When I got home Ali seemed so happy. I am so glad I was able to find a good walker and look forward to continuing their help! Ali loved grant and it was so nice to know they liked her too!”
“The pups love Marcela! She is very kind and very familiar with how to handle dogs. I have a 25lbs and 70lbs dog and she treats them very well and always gives me a great report on how their visit with her went. I trust her to come by when I’m not home, go in, and love on my dogs the way they deserve. :)”
“Excellent Pet Care – Highly Recommend! Taylor did an amazing job taking care of my dog Prudence while I was traveling. Zero issues, and she communicated really well throughout my trip. Prudence was happy and healthy when I returned. Taylor is reliable, trustworthy, and clearly cares about the animals she watches. Would absolutely use her services again and highly recommend her to anyone needing a great pet sitter!”
“Grace is great! She follows care instructions and is attentive to my fur baby, I also like how she actually leaves a detailed message about the walk on the report card.”
“Dana is amazing with my two dogs who can be a handful to walk together. I also have an incredibly selective dog who warmed up to Dana right away, which is a bigger relief than I can express in words.”
“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.”
About: I have almost 30 years of experience taking care of pets, from mostly dogs, to gerbils, to fish, to rabbits, and even cats. It all started by taking care of my aunt and uncle's dog and cat while they were away. I also helped my cousins with their rabbits when we were younger. Over the years, my family had many goldfish (won from fairs or carnivals), two gerbils, and a black lab who lived almost 14 years. In college, one of my roommates got a rabbit that we all worked together to take care of as well. Now, I mainly help family and friends with their pets while they're away, but I would love to branch out. I enjoy taking dogs for walks and playing with them in the backyard (or inside a house if it's allowed). I'm looking to try this out as a side gig and possibly turn it into more, so I am dedicated to find time that meets your schedule. Since I live in an apartment, I am unable to take care of any pets (not already listed on my lease) in my home. However, I am willing to come to your house and will make sure to lock any doors used and make sure everything is cleaned up as much as possible before leaving.
“There's something about her - my dog just instantly loved her. He loves everyone, but with Leah it was more of a calm "oh yeah" than his normal manic excitement over guests. She's a gem. She is communicative and reliable, putting my mind at ease.”
“Brianna was absolutely wonderful with my baby girl, Sammy. She communicates well, shares cute photos every day, and took the time to come meet Sammy and see how she’s doing! I would definitely recommend her and will be booking with her again!”
“Angela was amazing with our doggos. She was very thorough in her reports and provided lots of pictures. We especially appreciated how patient she was with our older doggo and made sure she ate her food as she takes a while - definitely will be rebooking again and recommending to our family and friends!”
“Samantha is very caring and conscientious. She shows up on time and gives me the details of what is happening with my fur baby. I love how she provides pictures and you know your pet will be treated with respect. :)”
“Sofia is the best! Our pup loves her! She is flexible with scheduling and is super friendly! 10000/10 care provided for Knox! We have already rebooked with her and cannot recommend her enough!! 🙃🐾 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
About: I have been around all kinds of cats and dogs. I’ve been petsitting in my neighborhood since the summer of 2019. I am offering overnight services! My schedule varies throughout the year, but I’m generally flexible and will work with you to find a time that fits your pet’s needs! I prefer not to bring any pets into my home. However, I am more comfortable with staying overnight in the owner’s home with the pets!
“Melissa was so patience, gentle and kind to my American Bulldog while I was away at the beach for the week. She took things slowly with him, understanding that he's not trusting of all humans. In turn, Otis warmed up to her very quickly, which made my vacation so much more relaxing! She made sure he had everything he needed, and gave him lots of praise and love. I cannot recommend her highly enough!!”

They were incredibly communicative throughout the entire stay, sending regular updates and tons of adorable photos. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our dog was in such caring hands. We highly recommend them and will definitely be reaching out again for any future pet-sitting needs!”
“Alissa and Rich were so amazing with our Indie! Alissa sent daily updates with photos and was very thorough in going over the dog sitting notes I sent her. Indie doesn’t care to be around other dogs so we were so happy to find Alissa because they only watch one client at a time and we knew Indie would feel comfortable in their home. Indie loved their backyard and we were at ease knowing she was in great hands. We would definitely recommend Alissa for boarding and would book her again in future!”
“Rebecca boarded our pup for a week. She communicated well, sent pictures, and asked questions about feeding schedules when our pup wasn’t eating. We knew our pup was in good hands!”
“Serena inspires confidence in her ability to take care of your dogs from the moment you meet her. She clearly knows and enjoys dogs very much. I was delighted to find Serena and that she was able to fit our two dogs, Tiggy and Moose, into her busy schedule for Spring Break. They had a FABULOUS time - photos of them having fun romping in her huge backyard were sent daily. Clearly exhausted from day one but couldn't have been happier. Thank you to Serena and her family for being the best hosts. We're looking forward to the next time that we're away as we'll know our dogs will be in very capable and caring hands.”
“Kayla is the real deal. Amazing with my big baby doodle. You can tell she has great experience and a way with dogs. She’s super responsive and easy going. I can’t recommend her enough!”
