“Here’s a polished version of your review that keeps your tone but flows a bit smoother: ⸻ Kimberly took such great care of our little girl! I usually get very stressed when we have to leave her, but not anymore—we’ve finally found a dog sitter we completely trust. Kimberly is incredibly sweet and truly cares about the dogs she watches. She sent daily updates with pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind and allowed us to actually relax and enjoy our vacation knowing our little girl was in great hands. We will definitely be booking with Kimberly again!”
“Lilly and her family are fabulous!! We went on a week long trip and Lilly sent us great pictures everyday and kept us updated on how Maddie was doing! She ended up loving one of her sons and it was just too cute! Maddie came home a very happy and sleepy girl- she had lots of walks and play time with other dogs while staying woh Lilly. We will 100% be using Lilly again when we are out of town!”
“First time working with Stephanie and she was awesome! She was also very close by. I would definitely ask for Stephanie’s help as long as she’s available!!! Thank you Stephanie!!”
About: Greeings! I am a full time pet sitter who also stays home full time as well. Your pup is welcome to make my home, their home, while you are away! I have a 3 level townhome with a fenced in yard, plus an upper deck area the pups love. I love having company so please feel free to reach out! I am home full time and have 7 day availability for your pup(s). I can also accept more than one dog, as long as they are from the same family. My dog passed some time ago so I do not have any pets at the moment. I have a 3 level townhome, dogs are free to roam the house or can be sectioned off for puppies. Dogs are allowed on any furniture you allow at home.
“Willa and Harvey had an absolute blast. David sent us numerous videos of both of them throughout their stay. They enjoyed the back patio and hanging out in the wading pool! Would definitely have no second thoughts on having him watch our pups!”
“We are new to the area and needed to find a sitter for our English Bulldog Louie. We found Anmei on Rover and are thrilled to have met her and her fur baby Ziggy. They kept Louie over Memorial Day weekend and took great care of him. She kept me updated on how he was doing and sent video and pictures. Also, Anmei was very open to doing a meet and greet before our scheduled booking which helped put our minds to ease. Really appreciated her doing that. I highly recommend her as a sitter and will be using her services again.”
“The best dog sitters! Chelsea-Jo & Austin are so wonderful every time with our dog. They treat him like family and always go above and beyond, sending us pictures and providing updates. We are so lucky to have found them for our pup!”
“Jennifer was so caring with Juno, I greatly appreciated all the sweet picture updates and regular communication communications. She was especially kind and flexible when I was delayed due to travel complications, and I felt so much better knowing that Juno was safe.”
“Kaitlin was absolutely wonderful with our dog Simba! She gave us regular updates and made sure he felt comfortable and cared for the whole time. Highly recommend Kaitlin to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”
“Great sitter for the dogs! They had a blast and she was very good at communicating how they were doing. Would definitely ask her to watch the dogs again next time we leave town!”
“Always so thankful for Jona’s care and help! CoCo was so well taken care of, and Jona even gave her a bath. I know CoCo will already be looking forward to her next visit. Thank you again!”
“David and his family were the perfect stay for Peach. They treated peach as their own dog and had her feel at home. They were very responsive and sent a lot of pictures l. Highly recommend. Definitely will use them again!”
“We had such a great experience with Rosario! Rosario took amazing care of our two fur babies while we were away and kept us updated with plenty of photos and messages. It was clear from the start that they truly love animals, as our dogs warmed up to them right away. We’ve already booked with Rosario & Juan again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter!”
“Our dog Bear stayed with them to get familiar ahead of his upcoming stay, and they kindly offered to host him for an extra day. I received plenty of photos and updates throughout. Their home is very well set up for dogs—just like they described. One room is converted into a fenced dog space, and they also have a fenced yard. Bear looked relaxed, happy, and right at home. He clearly enjoyed all the love and attention from Megha, Irene, and their family. I highly recommend them!”
“Anthony did a wonderful job taking care of our 3 dogs! He truly cares, sends pictures and updates daily, and makes sure he learns about each of your dog's needs. We will definitely ask Anthony to watch them again!”

“We left our kitten with Marcela and we only have compliments! Caring, loving, helpful, she sent us photos every day so we wouldn't be worried. We will definitely leave our cat with her at the next opportunity.”
“We are grateful to Grace for taking such great care of our cats! She was easy to communicate with and gave us peace of mind while away. We would definitely book again next time!”
“Jessica did a great job with Ikea. He was healthy and happy on our return, and we appreciated her diligence in following the care instructions asked of her. The photos she sent showed how happy he was to see her each day, and how much fun he had playing with her. Would definitely recommend.”
“We are very happy we used Emily to sit for our cat Lola. Lola is a shy cat, and can have some food-motivated aggression at times, but Emily handled this so well! She sent great pictures and updates every visit that made us feel that Lola was in great hands while we were away. She also left our house in tip-top shape. We would love to book with her again”
“Sarah was great with my cat while I was away, and I honestly couldn’t have felt more at ease. I’m very particular about her care, and Sarah followed all of my instructions carefully, including her routine and little details that matter to me. She kept me updated, which gave me a lot of peace of mind, and it was clear she genuinely cares about the pets she is sitting for. When I came back my cat was calm and content, which says everything. Sarah is great and I would definitely book with her again.”
“They were amazing!! Our cats were well cared for, and we received several photos and videos of our cats :) We would heavily recommend that you go with Amanda for all your pet sitting needs!!”
“The best Rover ever for my cats! Great, consistent communication about all her visits and Jiamin went above and beyond caring for my two little angels. I will definitely be booking again and would encourage anyone else to do the same!”
“Allison is fantastic! She provided so many photos and updates for every visit. My kitties were well taken care of. Recommend using Allison for in house visits for any pet. She is so sweet and genuinely cares for animals.”
“Very communicative and helpful. I have two skittish cats and she managed to befriend them - that alone deserves 5 stars! Haha Did a great job, would totally recommend if you need someone to take care of your fur babies.”
“Sarah has been a lifesaver for me! She is helping me out with my new kitten while I'm away on travel. Her visits are very thorough and she lets me know my kitten's mood, how much she's eating, drinking, and info about her litter box situation too. She includes pictures of my pet that put my mind at ease knowing she is well-cared for and happy! I also plan to use Sarah for walking my dog when I need the help as well. She is respectful, friendly, and easy-going. Thank you for your help, Sarah!”
“Taylor was very flexible and took great care of our cat Billy. This was our first time needing a petsitter, and it was a huge relief for us to know he was in good hands while we were gone. I would definitely rebook with her in the future!”
“This was our second time with David as our cat sitter! He’s amazing (gives great care) and really loves cats. It's such a blessing to know our cats are in good hands while we're away. I have recommended David to others in the neighborhood because he is that good and trustworthy.”
“Lauren was great and we’ll definitely work with her again. Her communication was excellent and thorough, and she was able to quickly develop a relationship with our cat. Lauren followed directions to the T, and made recommendations on things I hadn’t thought about. Lauren gave us peace of mind and I highly recommend her!”
“Dani did great with my two cats! She was able to give them medicine and sent many pictures playing with them and giving them affection. She even gave them each a little toy for Christmas! Such a relief to know my cats were in good hands while I was gone - highly recommend Dani!”

“Milo had a great time with Marcela. Marcela is a very kind and gentle person and Milo look an immediate liking to her. She look after Milo with great care since he is a 3 month old puppy. When he came home he was cheerful. Marcela was very prompt in picking him up and dropping him - I am surely going to continue Marcela’s services based on her availability. Thanks Marcela! From Milo and Jay!!”
“Kimberly is Amazing...She will go above and beyond to make things easy for you and your pet. My dog can be apprehensive when meeting new people and was perfectly comfortable meeting and staying with her🥰. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to take care of their pet.”
“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!”
“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. ❤️”
“Carlos was great with my little Ella. He sent me lots of updates and pictures. She enjoyed her stay and seems so tired from having fun. Thank you Carlos. See you on my next booking!”
“Megha and Irene were amazing! They sent us photos of Trixie and she seemed very happy. Thanks again both of you - for making my T feel at home and giving me peace of mind!!”
“She was welcoming very accommodating because I had a puppy and both my boys loved her. She kept me in the loop throughout the day I will def be booking her again soon! Thanks Jona”
“Rasmus and Elsa went back to David’s for the second time today. When we brought them, they couldn’t wait to get in an greeted David with a lot of tail wags, hugs, and kisses. They again had an amazing time. David is very sweet with them. They love him!”
“I'm really glad I found Nikhita because she was wonderful - easy to communicate with and made the whole process easy. She's flexible along with having a welcoming, clean home that our 6-month old puppy was very comfortable to be in. We'll definitely reach out to Nikhita again in the future!”
“Jessica has become our go to for Doggie Day Care. Our dog Missy loves her and so do we. She is an absolute pleasure to work with. She takes wonderful care of our little fur baby. We highly recommend!!!”
“Awesome experience! Jason and Jeremy were wonderful and gave us piece of mind that our dog was having a great time as opposed to being locked up in a kennel all day. Thank you!”
“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.”
“Lizabeth and her kids took such wonderful care of CoCo during daycare and grooming. I truly appreciated the thorough updates throughout the day, and the extra attention to detail in her grooming really stood out. She came back looking clean, happy, and so well cared for. We will definitely be back and highly recommend them to anyone looking for attentive, thoughtful care!”
“My pup Lucy loved her time with Michelle! Michelle has great communication and was flexible about drop off and pick up times. Very easy to work with. Highly recommend!”
“It was so easy coordinating Milo’s meet-and-greet and first daycare day with Asia. All the great reviews are well deserved—we’d absolutely recommend her. Milo was clearly well cared for and came home happy and healthy.”
About: I was a devoted dog mom to my Pomeranian mix, Bear, for 12 wonderful years and have been caring for pets through Rover since 2023. I’m very comfortable caring for dogs, including those with health conditions that require patience, consistency, and extra attention. I understand the importance of administering medications, maintaining routines, providing gentle walks, and respecting when pups need rest. My husband, Michael, grew up with dogs and helps care for pups during their stay when he’s not working. We enjoy walks, playtime, and most importantly following your dog’s routine to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I work from home on Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, walks, and companionship throughout the day. On Tuesdays and Wednesdays, I work from the office; however, my husband or a trusted family member is usually home, so your dog is not left alone while I’m away. We do not have any pets in our home, allowing your dog to have our full attention. Our space is comfortable and open, giving your pup room to relax and move around freely. If your dog uses a crate, we’re happy to accommodate it and have space to set one up as needed.
“Abigail and Cole were absolutely wonderful with our pup. They are friendly, communicative, and clearly treated our dog like their own. We came home to a happy, relaxed pup and felt at ease the entire time knowing he was in such good hands. Highly recommend Abigail and Cole to anyone looking for reliable and caring pet sitters!”

“Kyle was on reliably on time to pick up my husky puppy; she’s a handful so I’m so appreciative that he is able to take such great care of her- in addition to taking plenty of great pictures of her that i now get to hold on to:) 10/10 will be booking again”
“Marcela was great! My dogs liked her and it was a relief to not have to worry about them. Marcela notified me when she arrived and left, and sent pictures of the dogs too! Highly recommend!”
“Our pup Sonic made an instant friend in Mateo! He is great with dogs, keeps me updated throughout their walks, and sends the cutest pics. I would highly recommend Mateo to anyone looking for genuine, reliable care for their fur baby! Will absolutely book again!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
“Sonnet is a bit of a puller and she did great with her. Sonic came back nice and tired and got some really good exercise! We'll definitely be using her again. She did great with my big dog!”
About: What sets me apart is my 10 years of real experience and the level of care I provide. I don’t rush walks or treat dogs as a number. I pay attention, follow routines, and make sure each dog is safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m available on weekends, with flexible hours on both Saturday and Sunday. I’m happy to adjust my schedule to make sure your dog gets the care and attention they need at a time that works best for you. I focus on creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment while following each dog’s routine closely. During visits and walks, I make sure they get proper exercise, attention, and care based on their needs. I pay attention to details like feeding schedules, behavior, and safety at all times. I currently offer dog walking and drop-in visits.
“Erica is a jackpot find on Rover! She is a dog trainer and trains her personal dogs for competition sports, so she can handle pretty much anything! My reactive, energetic GSD loved all her attention and expertise. She's a great communicator and goes the extra mile to make sure your pets are taken care of. I'll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Macy is awesome! She is so understanding, patient, and loving with our two labs (including one that takes a while to warm up)! Macy has excellent communication and is always on time, often early. It gives me such peace of mind to see how much our dogs love their weekly walks with her!”
“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! 🥰🐶💕🐾”
“Kaitlyn and Auston have been lovely with my pup! They give wonderful feedback via Rober card and were very pleasant to meet for two meet and greets (: Envy gets her much needed walkies and outdoor time with them and comes back happy!”
“Taylor has been incredible with Benji and super communicative with me while I transitioned back to the office full-time! He can be a bit shy around new people and she was so patient with him every time she came to get him for his walk. She knows exactly what needs and makes sure he feels supported and happy on their daily walks. Would absolutely recommend her to anyone who lives in the area!!”
About: I used to have two small dogs for 7 years and have been trusted by neighbors and friends to watch their dogs as well. I have experience watching dogs both big and small! I have also had the opportunity to walk a medium sized dog three times a day multiple times and have boarded both a large and small dog simultaneously. I’m currently a student on summer break and have worked with dogs! My schedule is pretty flexible, especially if details are known ahead of time. I also have a car of my own that I do not mind having pets in. I will follow instructions clearly and make sure your pets get lots of love. I will not let them do anything they wouldn’t normally do, such as jumping on counters (cats) or furniture unless they are allowed otherwise.

We will 100% be using Lilly again when we are out of town!”
“First time working with Stephanie and she was awesome! She was also very close by. I would definitely ask for Stephanie’s help as long as she’s available!!! Thank you Stephanie!!”

“We are new to the area and needed to find a sitter for our English Bulldog Louie. We found Anmei on Rover and are thrilled to have met her and her fur baby Ziggy. They kept Louie over Memorial Day weekend and took great care of him. She kept me updated on how he was doing and sent video and pictures.

“Kaitlin was absolutely wonderful with our dog Simba! She gave us regular updates and made sure he felt comfortable and cared for the whole time. Highly recommend Kaitlin to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”
“Great sitter for the dogs! They had a blast and she was very good at communicating how they were doing. Would definitely ask her to watch the dogs again next time we leave town!”
“David and his family were the perfect stay for Peach. They treated peach as their own dog and had her feel at home. They were very responsive and sent a lot of pictures l. Highly recommend. Definitely will use them again!”
“Our dog Bear stayed with them to get familiar ahead of his upcoming stay, and they kindly offered to host him for an extra day. I received plenty of photos and updates throughout. Their home is very well set up for dogs—just like they described. One room is converted into a fenced dog space, and they also have a fenced yard. Bear looked relaxed, happy, and right at home.

“Anthony did a wonderful job taking care of our 3 dogs! He truly cares, sends pictures and updates daily, and makes sure he learns about each of your dog's needs. We will definitely ask Anthony to watch them again!”
“Grant and Yunrui were outstanding caring for our dog for over 10 days. They were kind, responsive, responsible, and flexible. Our dog, who can be challenging in that she does not like other dogs and is skeptical of strangers, quickly warmed up to Grant and Yunrui. They kindly cared for our dog, walking her several times a day, playing with her often, and even helping to settle her stomach and otherwise calming her. 10/10 rating for them! Will be using them again for our dog (13 years old Austrian Cattle Dog Mix). Look no further if you want the best care for your pet!”
“Michelle was wonderful with my boys! What I appreciated most was her daily updates — she kept me informed about how they were settling in, how they were adjusting to a new environment, and how they were getting along with her own fur girls. The photos she sent were such a comfort while I was away. Her communication was also excellent. When a potential marking issue came up, she handled it thoughtfully and professionally — she was open to using diapers instead of crating, which I really appreciated her flexibility on. The one area I’d note is that she seemed to have a busy work schedule, as we all do… When I returned, Huku’s (senior) diaper was full, suggesting he had not been out for a while that day— something to keep in mind if regular outdoor breaks are important for your pups. But overall, Michelle is super caring and communicative sitter who genuinely looks after your dogs. I would certainly ask her again!”
“We needed a sitter for our sweet little beagle mix, Cleo, over the President's Day weekend. We're so glad we found Melissa. She spoiled Cleo with walks in the woods and lots of lying outside in the the backyard in the sun (Cleo's favorite things). Melissa gave us an update each day including photos of our little girl, enjoying her own doggie vacation. We enjoyed our time away, knowing that Cleo was so well cared for.”
“Miguelina and her family were amazing! For a first time user of this app, I felt confident knowing that my pup was in good hands with the fast response and daily picture updates. You can tell that he was having a blast with their house dog, Leon. Would definitely recommend!”
“I was nervous to leave Winnie for the first time with non-family but Cheryl and Gustavo (and their family) welcomed Winnie and made her feel right at home! I received daily photos and updates which helped ease my worries, she was very well taken care of, loved on, and treated like one of their own. Will definitely rebook for our next trip. Winnie enjoyed her vacation as much as we did!”
