“Kimberly was amazing! From the initial meet and greet, she showed so much attention to Monti. Throughout the sitting, she sent and updated me easily with pictures. I would highly recommend Kimberly as a sitter!”
“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!”
“Gail took great care of McGee. She made friends with Creagh and still squeaks for him when she sees a similar looking dog. Loved the updates! Would definitely recommend Gail in the future.”
“Marcela was very flexible with timing, thorough in following instructions, and took extra care to make sure my dog was comfortable and safe post-op. It was nice to be able to relax on my trip knowing he was well taken care of.”
“Mary watched my two dogs a total of four times for three days at a time, and I waited till the last visit to write a review. Mary is absolutely awesome. My youngest can be a handful at times, but Mary is extremely patient, caring, and truly just loves dogs. I received a message from Mary on the second visit that my dog threw up and was not feeling good. She asks me if she can boil chicken breast and rice for him to have something easier on the stomach. This just made me feel good about leaving them in her care and that she had his best interest. She truly wants the best for them. She is the first person my dog has ever ran up to invitingly and was not timid of. I will definitely be going back to Mary if I’m in need of a good dog sitter.”
“Lilly was awesome. This was our first time leaving our rescue pup and we have no regrets. We received daily updates/photos and positive feedback. Will definitely have Lilly watch our fur baby again in the future. ”
“This is my first time traveling without my dog. Her first boarding experience was very important and my family was worried. But Rebecca made a great experience for my dog. It was a good time.”

“Jona and Henry were absolutely fantastic with our puppy Mochi. I had provided a cheat sheet to help guide them regarding our puppy’s current schedule and temperament and Jona took the time to read it and ask questions. She provided amazing detailed updates and photos of not just our puppy but also his meals. We couldn’t have left Mochi in better hands and we will definitely be leaving him with Jona and Henry again in the future.”
“Excellent! Sabine was very easy to work with and gave multiple updates each day. Our little pup ate well there and was happy when she came back home, which are all signs that her care was very good. Would highly recommend.”
“We’re very happy with the service. There was good and quick communication. And we appreciated the daily pictures. Our beagle seemed to enjoy himself and feel right at home! Would recommend!”

“I had an amazing experience with Paula! She took such great care of my dog and sent frequent videos, photos, and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was on vacation. She took him on regular walks, and he absolutely loved playing with her wonderful dogs. I could tell he was happy and comfortable the entire time. I’m so grateful for her care and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving and responsible sitter!”
“Melissa was fantastic! She made Cooper feel like he had a second home and family while I was out of town for a few days. I will definitely make Melissa my first choice next time I need to take a trip.”

“Dan and his family were the best caregivers for our dog! They took great care of him and Dan was really easy to communicate with. We will definitely be using him again!”
“David shared lots of photos, video, and text updates during our two puppers stay. It’s obvious David loves dogs and he’s very thoughtful in how he cares for each one. David tuned into our dogs personalities right away. Definitely would use David for sitting again.”

“Jeanette was awesome. She took great care of my two ginger kitties. The boys came out every time, even the more shy one. She was often able to have petting fests in addition to playtime. She understands cats and their behavior and did everything they needed, even special feeding instructions. She also has a terrific personality. I would ask her to take care of my cats again in a heartbeat.”
“Olivia took such good care of our cat while we were away! He had a couple meds and she was great at getting him to take them. Great communication and picture updates. And she was very accommodating with last minute schedule changes”
“Marcela was great with our 3 cats. She provided us regular updates and photos. All 3 warmed up to her and looked forward to her visits every day. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a car sitter.”
“Hannah managed to coax our three shy cats out of their hiding places and eventually even got kisses from the boy cat. She kept us informed of her progress along the way to feline acceptance with emails, photos and new toys from them. As a house sitter, Hannah dealt with Verizon FiOS when our wifi went down by troubleshooting and meeting with the technician who was able to fix the problem. And she left the house cleaner than we left it! We (both humans and felines) look forward to calling on Hannah for our next vacation.”
“Grace was excellent with our two cats. One of them is very shy but she went out of our way to make sure she saw him and ensure all was well. We will definitely be using her again!”
“Wyatt is a gem! My cat loves him and is always so well taken care of! I really appreciate his care and kindness as well as all the pictures and updates! Will definitely book again! Highly recommend!”
“If you are looking for an amazing and caring Petsitter-Ana is your go to person! She is super sweet and great at communication. She took care of my diabetic cat while I was at work. Always on time, always leaves detailed notes about the visit, always makes sure that pet(s) get attention and pets!”
“Denisa is fantastic. She sent me videos and photos and all updates 2 times a day, in the morning, in the evening. Iknow my kitties were cared for and loved on when I couldn't be there since I was traveling. I would totally recommend her. She is amazing and very thorough.”
“Gabriela saved us in a pinch, she was always on time rocko looked happy when we returned, he would look stressed normally after being boarded. Definitely will call her again.”
“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”
“I wish I had found Dana 3 years ago when I moved back to the area! She recently watched my cat, Lily, for two weeks in her home while we were out of town. She did not bat an eyelash when, after we made the booking, I called to tell her lily was just diagnosed with lymphoma - and with that came new meds, a vet visit, and watching for signs of worsening symptoms while she would be in her care. I gave her every chance to back out and she doubled down on her reassurance and comfort level with handling the situation. She did a phenomenal job watching lily and I could tell she was well cared for and happy with her new digs. Should we need a sitter again I won’t hesitate to reach out to Dana!”
“Katrina is excellent! She took such good care of my kitty that my cat missed her upon our arrival! We will absolutely use her services again in the future! Thank you Katrina!! Emma, my cat, was very lucky to get someone so caring and compassionate. We also loved the photos and in-depth daily notes!!”

“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.”
“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”
“This was the first time in 12 years I have used a dog sitter, and it will not be the last time because of Rebeca and Roman. They were very responsive from the beginning of the Rover process, and they continued throughout the four days I used their services. Rebeca greeted us every morning and afternoon with a smile. After the first day, Maple could not wait to get to Rebeca, literally jumping from my arms to her arms when we arrived at Rebeca/Roman’s home. I received a daily picture and even a video of Maple during the day. I had no concerns during the four days of daycare because of the pleasant attitude, daily photos, and Maple’s behavior before and after her time with Rebeca and Roman. Overall, a great experience. I will 100% use Rebeca and Roman again!!!”
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.
About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for dogs and my ability to connect with them on a personal level. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages—from playful puppies who need training and structure to senior dogs who require patience, medication, and extra comfort. I’m attentive, reliable, and treat every dog like family. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and routine are always my top priorities. I’m currently taking a break from my regular work to focus on something that brings me pure joy—spending time with dogs. This allows me to give pet care my full attention, with a flexible schedule that easily adapts to your dog’s needs. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’m all in and loving every minute of it. Whether in my home or my client’s, I create a calm, safe, and loving environment for every pet. I stick closely to their usual routine—feeding times, walks, play, and rest—so they feel secure and happy. I always keep a clean, pet-friendly space and pay attention to the little details, like favorite toys or special instructions. My goal is to make them feel like they never left home, whether they’re with me or I’m with them.
“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!”
“First daycare experience with Emmanuel and my puppy had a time. Nori was in the company of other dogs which she loves. Lots of space inside and out to run and play. She was returned to me good and tired. We are looking forward to our boarding stay.”

I love taking care of ALL dogs but have a soft spot for seniors. 😊 My top priority is seeing a dog happy and fulfilled whether that’s throwing a ball in the yard, walking them, or just giving them lots of pets.

I love building a relationship with you and your dog and working with you to see how we can make your dog happy 😊
“My dog, Aspen, had a great day with Michelle and doggy friends. I rarely leave Aspen with sitters but she was so happy when I picked her up and napped the entire way home. Michelle was great about sending updates throughout the day. We’ll be going back!”

“Heather was amazing! She was super accommodating and took such great care of my fur baby while I was away. I could tell my pup was happy and well-loved the whole time. I’ll definitely be booking with her again! 🐶💛”
“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.”
“BEST DOG SITTER EVER!!! I could not have asked for a better dog sitter. Carlos provided many updates, pictures, videos, and I could tell from all of the pictures and videos that my little guy felt safe and comfortable, which has not always been the case with other sitters. I could also tell that Carlos genuinely enjoyed my dog. Walks, sunbathing, playing ball, cuddles and naps on the sofa. It really was like my dogs home away from home. I honestly feel like I won the lottery by finding Carlos to take care of my boy while I am at work during the day. My heart is so happy and my dog was so happy and content after his stay with Carlos. I could not be more appreciative. Top notch!!! Thank you so much, Carlos!”
“Laia took wonderful care of Millie who is an older beagle with separation anxiety. Millie went with Laia happily and came to us at the end of the day with her tail wagging it. We traveled from New Hampshire to spend a few days with our newborn grandson. Laia was able to keep Millie calm and happy so we could be relaxed and enjoy our time with baby. Laia’s patience and compassion with Millie was very much appreciated! We would definitely book again the next time we visit our family in Virginia.”

“Janna was great with Leslie! She was prompt and took Leslie on some fun adventures in the neighborhood, and even included a bit of time to play with Leslie after her walks. Her reports were very thorough and we got great photos and videos each day. We'll definitely be reaching out again when we need a dog walker!”

“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.”
“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!”

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!”
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.

“Leah has been a life saver! Originally, we had booked her for specific days. However, we had to extend last minute and Leah was communicative and flexible within reason. I could tell my fur baby was loved and appreciated by the big old eyes and smile during this time. Couldn’t recommend someone better to care for your furbaby!”
“Jen did exactly what we asked of her and took our boys on an adventure! (their favorite) We appreciate the time and attention she gave the boys. I would recommend her to anyone!”

Winnie enjoyed her vacation as much as we did!”
