“I can’t say enough about Joanna and John. I was very apprehensive about leaving my maltipoo with someone who had never watch my dog before. Add to that other small dogs my Sandy would be around and not sure how she would adjust. But it turned out so great. They also sent us away with a gift bag with a dog treat storage bag inside, a cute blanket and lovely card. Thanks so much for taking such great care of my baby!”
“Rebeca was the sweetest! She took care of Loki at the last minute and I couldn’t be more thankful! She had a big yard which he loved. She sent updates daily. He seemed so happy to be there. I would definitely take him back.”
“Ashley and her family took great care of our cat MJ! The pictures Ashley sent of MJ having fun makes us smile and laugh. We have to ask ourselves, “is that our cat?” because MJ is so comfortable and out going with Ashley and her family. Ashley - thank you for the great care you give to MJ!”
“Heather watched our pups Lily and Cinnamon for 9 days and did a wonderful job! They had a great time playing with the other dogs that were visiting and we received daily photos and status updates. She is very quick to respond when we have questions and is very experienced working with all types and temperaments. We felt our pups were in great hands!”
“Jim was awesome with Shelby!!! She really enjoyed her stay and had a great time, especially the long walks and the belly rubs. Would definitely recommend Jim to watch your fury friends. This was a last minute booking and the fact that he got back to me so quick with his availability, was also a plus…”
“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!”
“This was our first time ever using a sitter, and Carlos put us at ease right off the bat during the initial meeting. He was receptive to our concerns (our dog is 12), and let us know that our dog was in good hands. During our dog’s 4-day stay with Carlos, we got numerous updates during each day with pictures and summaries. Our dog looked so happy to be with Carlos and Sasha! Carlos was also willing to accommodate a late pickup on the final day due to flight issues, which we really appreciated. He even wrote us a very sweet and heartfelt message thanking us for entrusting our dog to his care. I can’t recommend Carlos enough, and we will definitely be back if we need a sitter in the future.”
“Veronica is beyond amazing!!! If there was a way to select 10 stars instead of 5 for this review, I absolutely would. Not only was Veronica flexible, understanding and kindly accommodating with unanticipated scheduling hiccups needing adjustment for extended care, but Thea literally has been sad this last day or two since she clearly was having the time of her life in Veronica’s care. To not recommend Veronica with my eyes closed would be insanely amiss! Thank you so so so much, Veronica!!!”
“Sabine is awesome! She took really good care of my pup and kept me updated on how he was doing. She was friendly, flexible with drop off and pick up times, sent lots of pictures, and treated Rambo like her own. I would definitely recommend Sabine!”
“Cheryl and Gustavo were great hosts/sitters for my boy Luke. They provided regular updates and I could tell when I picked up Luke he was a little sad to go. Thanks and I highly recommend if you need a sitter.”
“Candice did a wonderful job caring for our dog! She was communicative throughout the booking, pre-arrival, during care, and through pick up. She genuinely cares about the dogs in her care. We will definitely use her again!”
“This was my pups first time being boarded and I was a bit anxious. Mei and her family took good care of Sandy and Oreo sending pictures and videos daily showing them on walks and in the house playing.Mei also sent pictures of their sleeping arrangements (I brought their dog beds) asking if it was a good set up for them. I would definitely recommend Mei and her family for anyone’s small breed fur babies.”
“Mariel and her family were lovely. We received daily updates with pictures and videos. They took Remy on all sorts of fun adventures, entertained him with new toys and gave him lots of snuggles. Our pup is our baby and we would happily use Mariel again in the future.”
“Marcela was great and my kittens were very comfortable in her home! She sent plenty of updates and was very flexible with the initial meeting, dropoff and pickup. I'll definitely be using her as my go-to cat sitter!”
“Cameron cared for out 6 month old 50 lb. GSP over the weekend our pup met new friends like her sweet service dog and enjoyed her beautiful backyard. Cameron kept us updated throughout the weekend with pictures and videos. She id so knowledgeable about dogs and their behaviors. We truly appreciate her opening her home to our pup and will be booking again.”
“Brianna was super kind and patient w/ pup. He takes a long time to adjust to new environments and can be anxious, and there were some challenges but Brianna was always reassuring that it was ok and she handled it well. She sent plenty of pictures and videos and gave daily updates. I recommend her services to anyone looking for a sitter.”

“Ella did an amazing job with my tuxedo cat! She sat and played with her-gave her treats-scooped the litter box-even managed to brush her a little! Tazz only comes out for those that she trusts- Ella was patient and kind and took her time with her. I will be booking again! Highly recommend this young lady!!!”
“We were very happy with the care and professionalism Hue Man D showed our 2 cats. She would be our first call next time we go out of town. I’m confident anyone would be happy with here work. Gary”
About: I have experience caring for cats while pet sitting. I have been providing food and fresh water, cleaning litter boxes, administering basic medications when needed, and giving them attention and companionship. I’m comfortable caring for cats with different personalities and needs, including shy or nervous cats, and I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away.
“Soo awesome!!! Timely updates and followed directions. I know my kitties can’t DIRECTLY tell me they loved her, but the amount of kitty cuddles in the update pictures says it for them. Thanks Sheila!”
“Leigh took wonderful care of our cats while we were out of town. Communication was great. When we came home it was easy to see that our cats were well taken care of. I would not hesitate to book Leigh again.”
“Allie was terrific! She has lots of experience with animals which made us feel comfortable leaving our two cats in her hands. She also sent pictures and had great communication with us. When we returned home, both cats were happy and appeared to have everything they needed while we were away!”
“Hannah was a fantastic cat sitter! This is my first time using a professional service for my kitties, and I was blown away by her thoroughness and fantastic communication. I would recommend her to anyone and will definitely ask for her services in the future if needed. Just a fantastic person through and through!”
“This is our second time having Katherine watch our two cats and we couldn’t be happier with her! She really is a cat whisperer as even our super shy cat did not hide from her once. She follows instructions perfectly, keeps everything clean, & sends cute updates. We will keep using Katherine in the future!”
“David was a great sitter. He wrote me a message and sent photos of my two cats every day. When I got home the litters were clean and my cats had plenty of clean food and water. David also made time on his visits to play and cuddle with my cats which I really appreciated. I definitely recommend David for pet sitting!”
“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”
“Wonderful wonderful wonderful! Michelle is a cat whisperer in the true sense. My Belle warmed upto her immediately & she took great care of her & the house while I was away for 2 weeks. I highly recommend her & can't thank her enough for the love & care she gave my Belle.”
“Reese was fantastic with our two cats while we were gone for a week on vacation. She was prompt on her arrival and sent pictures every day. When we got home, everything was clean, organized and our cats were happy. Will definitely book Reese again!”
“Jessica is amazing. Took excellent care of my cat while I was away for the holidays, giving me frequent updates and pictures. My cat loved her and I felt reassured being away that he was well taken care of as she truly spent the entire visit taking care of him, playing with him. She is very professional and I will definitely plan on having her back again”
“Having a 19 year old cat, we did not want to leave her with just anyone while we were anyway. Daniel was willing to come by for a meet and greet to make sure he was a good match. He was excellent to work with for set up and came by on schedule and spent time feeding and providing company in our absence. Daniel provided pictures for each visit which was comforting. If you are looking for someone who is dependable and friendly with your pet, he is your person.”

“I highly reccomend Tamara. We were first time vistors to the area, and she was very accommodating when our plans changed last minute, was helpful answering our questions about the area, and was understanding when traveling back from D.C. took longer then we anticipated. Most importantly, my nervous dog settled in very quickly and was very comfortable staying with her, and I picked him up relaxed and happy.”
“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. ❤️”
“Kristi-Ann, Andrew and their pup Loki were so welcoming of my crazy mutt! They took him in like one of their own and have a great dog-friendly setup. Thanks for having him on a hot day—he had way more fun than staying at home!”
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.
“Henry was great with Tucker! We needed a last minute sit and he was happy to accommodate. Life saver! He made sure that Tucker was comfortable and cared for. He kept us updated throughout the day - pictures and all - and was flexible on pickup time. I’m very happy to have found Henry for a day of daycare play.”
“My pup, Cooper had a great time with Jim! It was our first time and Jim put him right at ease. Jim is responsive, kind and communicative. Cooper had a great time and I look forward to booking Jim again.”
“This was my first experience with Rover, and I chose to book with Heather due to her exceptional 5-star ratings. Now, I'm thrilled to contribute another 5-star review myself. My dog was quite anxious during drop-off, being away for the first time, but Heather's continuous updates and photos of Joy throughout the day were incredibly reassuring. Witnessing my dog's evident happiness upon pick-up affirmed that she had been expertly cared for. Without a doubt, I'll be rebooking with Heather in the future.”
“Jeanette was absolutely amazing! My dog Luna instantly felt at ease and smiled the whole time she was there. Jeanette sent me so many pictures and videos and in every one Luna was full smiles. Luna had a great time and we will definitely use Jeanette again. Highly recommend!”
“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!”
“Fritz always has the best time with ManYee and Hannah. It’s a good feeling to see him run to the elevator with her, not even looking back. And I always know he’s in the best care possible!”
“This was my first time using Rover and it was such a great and smooth experience. Veronica is very prompt in her responses. My pup played with other dogs and was completely wiped out when he got home (which he rarely is). I also appreciate that she sent photos of him. I will definitely be using Veronica in the future!”
“Cindy has been so kind and welcoming since the first time we met her. She takes great care of our Lab, Wesley, and we know he will always have a great day with her and Bella. We will continue to use Cindy in the future for dog sitting. Thank you so much for being responsive and reliable!”
“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.”
“Jon and Johanna are great care providers. I felt totally confident with their help with my dog Enzo. They clearly love dogs, especially dachshunds and are very structured in keeping my dog engaged and active and involved with training and fun activities. I will definitely keep them in mind for future bookings. I really appreciate the help they gave me this week.”
“Fantastic! I love how responsive and flexible are Dorrie and her family, I can tell they treat my dog as if it was one of their pets, and is reassuring. Tango and their pet became friends almost immediately which is a bonus!”
“Finn had another great day with Guojin and her husband! They sent lots of pictures and took him out on several walks. He loves doing doggy day care with them! We will definitely book again in the future!”
“This was our first time using Rover and it was a great experience because of David. He was communicative and accommodating of schedule changes due to work hours. He sent pictures and updates throughout the day. Our doggy came home happy and tired. David’s calm, chill vibe was exactly what our skittish pandemic puppy needed. We will definitely use David’s services in the future!”
“We had a great experience with Saroj! We were able to drop Chewie off early for our day trip, and Saroj sent us updates throughout the day with pictures and videos. Saroj was very responsive and accommodating. We will definitely use Saroj’s services again!”

About: I love caring for all kinds of animals! 🐾 I’m comfortable looking after pets with all sorts of personalities, routines, and special needs. Whether it’s taking an energetic dog on a walk, giving a cat some much needed cuddles, keeping small pets fed and comfortable, or simply making sure an animal has company while their person is away, I’m happy to help! I pay close attention to each pet’s individual needs and always do my best to make sure they feel safe, happy, loved, and well cared for. ❤️ I have time for work I’m looking to make enough money to move out of my parents house and be able to afford basic living expenses I spend a lot of time taking care of my pets. I walk the dogs, clean up their poop, I also feed them multiple times a day. I also spend several hours a day holding or cuddling my clingy cat and caring for her needs as well.
“Courtney was fantastic with Oakley! She took the time to play with him during the walks and ensured he was put up in the crate with water for the rest of the day. Oakley loved his time with Courtney!”
“Ella helped take care of my anxious Australian shepherd while we were away for the weekend. When she came for a meet and greet,y dog warmed up to her almost immediately! She was incredibly reliable, arriving on time to each walk and took such good care of our pup while we were away. I would definitely recommend her and would book her again :)”
“Our family booked Jenesis because we had an off month of work schedules and she was able to go above and beyond for us. Jenesis was incredible with our two large pups. She was so patient with them on days they had extra wiggles and she was an excellent communicator with my family. She took them on long walks everyday and they both got much better on leash because of Jenesis. If we ever need a dog walker again we will absolutely be reaching out to her and suggest you all do the same! I cannot say enough good things about Jenesis! Maple and Raja love you!”
“David has done an excellent job with Zelda this week. She looks forward to his arrival and is excited to go for a walk with him. We appreciate his care with Zelda and his flexibility with his time.”
“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!”
About: I’m new to rover but a lifelong pet care provider. I’ve primarily cared for dogs and cats. I’ve some experience with exotics like birds and reptiles as well. I’ve cared for and raised dogs and cats from puppies/kittens to geriatrics and their many potential extra care needs. I pride myself on bringing a balance of experience and calm but engaging energy for all pets. I have experience caring for dogs as small as 7lbs and as large as 90lbs. I’ve provided care for multi-pet and multi-species homes. I pride myself on being the most popular person at the dog park (with dogs, I’m not there for the people). I’m happy to provide additional care to animals that need it for medical or non-medical reasons. Every person and every pet has their own personality and quirks, so I’m happy to learn and provide the highest quality care that I can. I’m currently open to pet care across many times and days. So if you need a recurring or spontaneous pet care, I am happy to work with you. I am experienced with crate training and can crate your dogs if needed. Every home has different dynamics and rules that I want to respect and make your pets experience with me as comfortable and fun as possible. If you have any special requirements, safety concerns, or additional accommodations, then I am always happy to work with pets and their owners for the best possible situation.
“Our dog normally is apprehensive around new people, and it usually takes him a while to warm up and feel comfortable. This just wasn't the case with Gabi, he took to her immediately! Gabi seems to have a genuine understanding and affection for animals, which seems to have made all of the difference for our dog. Words can't do justice to how grateful we are to have someone we trust help care for our boy!”
“Michelle was fantastic! She took great care of Bailey and provided some extra love and attention. When Bailey was feeling bad, she went the extra mile to make sure I knew how my baby was doing. Thank you, Michelle!!!”
“Daniel was fantastic with Jack! He was always on time and super reliable during the two weeks I was away. With Glenn working 6/10 shifts, Dan’s daily walks gave Jack a much-needed break and helped us out a lot. We’re really grateful for the care and consistency— we’ll definitely be using him again. Highly recommend!”
About: I used to work for the pet sitter company for the last 5 years and working with many various of sized dogs including cats. Willing to take care of special needs pets. I also can cover your fish feeding, lizards, and ferrets if needed. Hit me up. We can plan a planning. Woof woof! I’m currently self - employed part time. I’m usually available on many days. Would like to walk early morning and midday when you’re going to work or far away. Can cover the same pet in evening if something happens suddenly. Unfortunately, I live in someone’s place and have to follow his policies. No pets allowed in my home but good news I can take care of your pets in your sweet home.
“Brianna is amazing! She's very good at communicating and will walk rain, snow, or shine which Cocoa loves!! She respects our home and more importantly, she's GREAT with all dogs 😊”
“Josie is amazing. She is brave and just uses the old fashioned leash. She does not like the retractable leash and neither do I. Enzo and I will miss her when she goes back to school.”
About: I have been a vet tech and animal educator in the past. I’m very flexible with scheduling, and understand last minute things come up. I am happy to work with whatever pet needs you have! For locals I can pop in as often as needed, I’m happy to be flexible with your needs. My availability right now is wide open. I am comfortable with pets that need medical care, pets that are less comfortable with people/strangers/ other animals, and the less common pets. I believe in full transparency, and will provide your pets with the care you would give them yourself.
“Reese is absolutely wonderful with Jojo! Reliable, great communication, and best if all Jojo loves her 🐾💕 It was a leap of faith trusting a person to come to our home like this but I'm so glad we did!”
About: I am a champion for every animal in my life. I am a proud mama and grandmama for my 2 cats and their kittens.

I built trust with my clients by being myself, honest, and kind. This allowed me to care for their pets in their homes, and also overnight as needed.

I would absolutely entrust Helena with Charlie again for a long term stay.”
