“Great experience with Amy keeping our small dog. Lots of photos and updates provided during our dogs stay in her home. Would use again. Thankful our dog was well cared for!”
“Kendra was great! This was Yasha’s second time staying with her in less than a month. Goes to show how reliable she is and how comfortable she makes you feel, leaving your fur baby with her. She truly cares. I appreciate all the photo’s and updates as well. It’s good to know my baby is having a good time while I am vacationing. No more guilt! lol”
“Can’t say it enough, Matt is great! I had to make a last minute change to Sawyer’s stay. Matt worked it out and made the process seamless and stress-free. Highly recommended!”
“Sherri is very caring and honest. I was happy that Maggie was in good hands for 1 1/2 days. Highly recommended. She has a heart of an angel. I am disappointed that she is moving to another state.”
“Eric is the best! I recently had a sitter cancel 6 hours before drop-off -- I thought my vacation was ruined! I immediately put out a Sunday morning last-minute Rover requests for a sitter, with very low expectations that anyone would even respond, much less accept. Within a few minutes, Eric responded and then accepted. He totally saved my vacation! After that, he was extremely communicative, but even better, he was perfect for my highly energetic doggo. He gave long dauly walks and play sessions. I knew that my dog would love having his Bucky as a 24/7 playmate, but I was very concerned that he has cats, since Sheba had never seen a cat before. Since she has a high prey drive, I thought there could be serious problems. Eric, however, seems to have a natural understanding of pets, and he was able to safely introduce Sheba to his cats, and apparently there were no issues. Also, Eric was highly flexible when my return flight was delayed by a day, and quickly agreed to extend the stay. I couldn't have asked for a better experience from start to finish.”
“Laura was wonderful. We liked her immediately and she was really good with my dog Banksy. When we walked in her home I knew we had made the right choice. Banksy got a lot of attention from Laura and had fun playing with her dog Daisy in the backyard. We really appreciated the videos and pictures she sent as well.”
“My dog Boomba came back from her 9 day stay with Damacia a happy dog! Damacia was easy to stay in touch with and sent me photos and updates daily. I would def book with Damacia again!”
“Hilary was an amazing sitter for my girl, she took her for runs, played extensively and even made time to always keep me informed. I would trust her again and again and really appreciate the peace of mind she offered while I was away. ❤️”
“From start to finish, Michaela did a wonderful job watching our little dog Coco! She always responded in a timely manner and kept in touch with us, sending pictures and updates daily. We’re so grateful that Coco was loved and taken well care during our trip abroad. We would highly recommend Michaela if you should need a loving and caring pet sitter!!🥰🐾”
“Hallie enjoyed her stay with Elizabeth! Elizabeth sent us updates and photos every day. She took excellent care of Hallie while we were out of town. I would definitely use Elizabeth again! She’s wonderful!”
“Elizabeth agreed to watch my dog last minute and was very accommodating and kind! She sent me a lot of pictures and updates and made it feel like I wasn’t even away from my pup! I definitely look forward to booking with her again.”
“Caitlyn and Sam were so great with my dog and truly treated him like family! My dog can be a handful so having a sitter who enjoys him as much as I do is very important. I will definitely use them again!”
“Dale and Cyrus had a great time with Laura, DJ, and family! Communication was very easy and we were provided photo and text updates during the stay. We could tell they were having a great time and were treated extremely well. We picked up two very happy and healthy dogs! We will definitely book again for future trips.”
“Do not hesitate to book with Dylan and Alex! You will not regret it. It is such a blessing to find someone who will take care of your babies while you’re away. I knew that Lucy was in great hands and it gave me the peace of mind that I needed while I was away. Lucy had such a wonderful time and was completely exhausted from all of the play time. I am going to make Dylan and Alex my official boarding for all of my trips planned until December. Thank you gentlemen!”
“Donetta is the absolute best! She provided regular updates with photos over the course of my pup’s stay. She creates an environment that made my pup feel right at home. I could tell that Fiona had a great time because she came home completely exhausted. Donetta was also flexible when I needed to extend the reservation and additional night. Thank you so much. Highly recommend! Will definitely book again!”
“This was a great experience for both me and Mila. Tiffany took such great care of my fur baby and sent me pictures so I knew how she was doing throughout her stay! Tiffany will definitely be my go to dog sitter moving forward.”
“Nathaniel was a phenomenal caregiver for my big boy, Brock! 🐾❤️ I had to book care for Brock very last minute, and Nathaniel was incredibly compassionate and accommodating to both Brock’s and my needs with such little notice. Brock had a wonderful time and was so graciously cared for. Nathaniel went above and beyond by sending me pictures and videos throughout Brock’s stay, which gave me peace of mind and reassured me that my boy was doing great. I’d also like to highlight Nathaniel’s flexibility and his personal schedule, which worked out perfectly for caring for Brock. 10 out of 10! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thank you so much, Nathaniel, for taking such great care of my boy! 🐶❤️”

“Great job, my cat felt comfortable with her, welcomed her and posed for several pictures. Sydney kept me updated on the home and cat situation, would hire again.”
“Emily was great! She took care of two cats and four hens—and one of our cats is getting elderly and increasingly prone to unsanctioned pooping?. Emily didn’t miss a beat though and we’d be happy to recommend her. We look forward to having her back in the future! Thanks, Emily!!”
“Kelly was incredibly attentive, patient, gentle, and kind to our temperamental old man cat. She left thorough notes on each of her visits and I couldn't be more pleased with her sitting. Kelly goes above and beyond and I'm thrilled to establish a relationship for future sitting opportunities!”
“I don’t want to review Erica …. Then she may become too busy for my Remy. She is phenomenal and my cat adores her. She takes care of him and things I didnt even ask her to do (litter box - food that flew from him digging). She is very kind and I would recommend her to anyone!”
“My first experience with Rover and I could not have chosen a better pet sitter! My cat is normally very shy around unfamiliar people- she took to Chynna instantly. The pictures of Luna instantly put me at ease. I will definitely rebook with her next time!!”
“This is my second rover with Jonathan. He is very communicative and detailed which makes me feel comfortable knowing that my pets are well cared for and safe. Thanks again Jonathan!”
“Ayme was so amazing with our cats! We got pictures and/or a video every day, and our fur babies were actually looking for her when my husband and I returned ? they were very happy. Would absolutely recommend!”
“Thane sent detailed notes of each visit along with photos. Our cat usually takes a while to warm up to people but the two of them really seemed to hit it off! We’ll definitely be looking to book Thane again in the future.”
“Nick was great! He took great care of our cats, fish, and Guinea pig. It was wonderful receiving pics of our furry family and he even brought the mail in. I would 100% use his services again.”
“Alyssa really helped us out when our cat unfortunately became sick on our trip. She was very communicative about her progress and took all of our suggestions to help and gave her extra care until she started feeling better! Thank you Alyssa!”
“We’ve booked with Abby several times and will continue to do so as long as she lets us! Our little guy adores her and we sleep easier knowing that he’s not just in good hands, but is having fun and getting spoiled while we’re gone. Abby goes above and beyond with everything she does and sends so many great photos at every check-in. Couldn’t (and wouldn’t!) find a better person to watch your furry friends.”
“Sidney was so gentle and loving to our shy kitty! Bambino took to her immediately and when we came home, he was a happy clam as if we hadn’t even been away! We would 100% recommend her and will be booking her again for our future getaways 🥰. Thank you so much, Sidney!”
“Elijah was wonderful! I’ve never hired a cat sitter before, so I was a little nervous. But, Elijah eased those concerns on his first visit. He sent updates and pictures of the cats, and I will definitely use him next time I go on a trip!”
“We were happy to have Eryn look after our cat (Kitty) over a 4th of July weekend trip. Our planned sitter fell through at the last minute and Eryn was able to jump in and help us out. She did some drop-in visits with him, checked his water and scooped his litter box. Everything went well and she even brought in a package that we forgot was being delivered. We recommend her to other cat owners!”
“Kacey was amazing with my kitten. She sent me lots of pictures and made me feel at ease while I was away. I would definitely book with her again.”
“Robin was amazing with my kitties! She went above and beyond to care for my kitties, left very detailed updates and played with them. Overall I felt very secure to leave them in her care:)”
“Daniel took good care of my cats while I was away for Christmas. Communication was good and I appreciated the pictures. I will hire Danyelle again and am happy to recommend her.”

“I just recently found Ayme & I have booked with her twice in one week!!! I chose her because of her extensive positive reviews & for the fact that she has a nice backyard. Upon meeting her, she is warm, kind & welcoming. My adopted chocolate lab has separation anxiety, which has been getting worse. He becomes immensely anxious when I leave him and he can’t be left alone at all, or else he barks non-stop. He doesn’t love doggy daycare because it’s too many dogs, not enough human interaction and no outside time. He has done well with Ayme twice so far for day care and I look forward to using her services consistently to get him familiarized with her & being away from me. I totally recommend Ayme!”
“Matt is fantastic. My dog Ru loves going to his house so much that she sprints to his front door and will not look back for me at all. She has a great time with him and when I pick her up she is happy and tired in the best way. He clearly has a great understanding of dogs and is very professional and communicative. I feel completely confident leaving my girl there and I know she has the absolute best care.”
“Michaela's great! I contacted her the night before I needed a sitter for my 5 month old puppy, and she got back to me very quickly that she was available. She worked with my schedule and was a huge help in a pinch. I checked in with her a couple times during my pup's stay and she replied with updates and pictures. Thanks, Michaela!”
“Julie was the absolute best! She was able to accommodate our travel schedule with no problem and gave Ziggy a very fun afternoon. We definitely recommend her for any pet stays!”
“William was great with Church and very attentive throughout the day. He made sure Church was comfortable, safe, and well cared for, and I appreciated the communication and updates. It gave me peace of mind knowing Church was in good hands. I would definitely book again and recommend him to others looking for reliable doggy day care.”
“Michelle took good care of my pup. Her dog Milo is a sweetie. She has a nice yard for them to play in and my dog also enjoyed relaxing by her side on the couch.”
“Caroline is superb! Twix is always so excited to hangout with her, he jumps out of the car when he sees her home. She takes great care, sends lovely photos of him throughout the day and is very communicate and accommodating. Thanks Caroline 😊”
“I can’t say enough great things about Nadia! She took such amazing care of my dog, Mojo, during his first stay that it completely put my mind at ease. From the moment we met her, it was clear how much she genuinely cares about the dogs she looks after. Mojo had such a great experience that what started as a one time stay has now turned into a regular weekly visit. He gets so excited every time we arrive he truly loves Nadia, and that says everything. It’s such a relief knowing he’s not just being watched, but is actually happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Nadia is reliable, kind, and clearly passionate about what she does. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter!”
“Elizabeth was amazing with Tater. He’s a puppy and, while the goodest of boys, takes some energy and a little patience. She even exposed him to her cat and gave us a full report on how he did with Miso so we’d know for future bookings. She was super flexible with our timing heading to/from Story Land with the kiddos and kept us up to date on what our littlest dude was up to while we were crushing the Polarcoaster.”
“Miguel and his wife were great! They took such good care of my dog and were super responsive throughout the entire time. I felt very comfortable knowing she was in good hands. Would definitely recommend them!”
“I’m so grateful for Pamela & Paul. They make every effort to do what is best for my dog (exercise, food, social) and let me know if there’s a concern. My dog is so very happy when she sees we have arrived at their house. She can’t wait to go inside.”
About: I have had animals my entire life. I love taking care of them and filling their lives with lots of pets and love. I currently have 3 dogs, ranging in ages 1-12. I have experience with reactive dogs, puppies, cats, and senior dogs. Excited to take care of your fur baby I’m currently a student at Virginia Commonwealth University. I’m currently on summer break so I have plenty of time to take care of your fur babies. It is very important to me that all animals are safe and well cared for. I will follow all your instructions including walking and feeding schedule, as well as giving medication timely “ if applicable”.
“Sophia treated my pup so wonderfully. She let him play in the backyard and even bathed him and let him sleep with her. She truly cares and I have zero worry leaving Scout with her. We adore you Sophia!! 🥰”

“Maria and Luis were wonderful with Murphy! They were communicative and easy going. I was nervous, as this was my first time having Murphy walked by a stranger, but feel so comfortable leaving her in their care!!”
“Sydney has been walking our two dogs for a couple of weeks now. They're big, high energy pups that clearly adore her visits. Her communication and reliability have been excellent.”

“Kacey was great! Professional, responsible, and highly communicative. Most importantly, the dogs immediately loved her! Would definitely hire again.”

“Deiandre was great. He was very communicative and gave detailed reports after every walk. It was such a relief knowing my sweet girl was in good hands while I was on a work trip.”
“Kade took care of our pup and new kitten when we were in a pinch for a sitter. They took the time out of their schedule for a meet and greet and had no problem following our care instructions. Our pup and kitten took to them immediately and we felt so reassured they were safe under Kade’s care! Thank you so much Kade for your help, and we would absolutely recommend booking Kade for any of your sitting needs!”
“We couldn’t recommend Fran enough! She was extremely prompt and communicative throughout the entire process and our pup loved being walked by her. We also really appreciated the photos/videos of each walk and the thorough recaps afterward. When we need dog services again we won’t hesitate to reach out because we know our pup is in good hands. Thanks Fran!”
“Nevaeh walks my dogs once a day and it is such a retro know that she is there for them while I am at work. She is an absolute sweetheart and even my more stand offish dogs loves her. Could not recommend met more!”
“Adora is absolute wonderful with my baby girl. She came through in a pinch for me, put me at ease about the care my dog-child was in, loved on her and got her some sunshine while I was stuck at work. Thank you, Adora!”
About: I’ve been dog-sitting for about 5 years now. I’ve mainly taken care of small to medium sized dogs but I’m open to looking after larger dogs as well. I am very reliable and have a lot of energy to keep your dog entertained throughout the day. I love going for walks and and going to dog parks if allowed by the owner. I live in an apartment and it’s dog-friend and the apartment has a dog area where they can relieve themselves. I live in a studio apartment but there’s plenty of open space where your pup can lounge around. I’m very attentive of your dogs needs, so I stay on top of taking them out for walks and making sure their water bowl is kept full and following their feeding schedule. Also open to grooming and showering your dog, especially if they are staying overnight with me. If your pup is energetic and loves to play we will be a great match!!

“Above and beyond care for Princess! This sitter didn’t just watch our fur baby; they truly cared for her. Every detail was handled with so much compassion, and it showed in how calm and content Princess was when we returned. Our sweet Princess was treated like family. We received thoughtful updates and photos and videos that reassured us every day. Exceptional care for our sweet Princess. Reliable, kind, and very attentive. Knowing she was safe and happy gave us total peace of mind. An absolutely wonderful experience overall! She was punctual, communicative, and incredibly kind with our pet. It’s such a relief knowing your furry family member is in safe and loving hands. We will definitely book again. A wonderful experience from start to finish. Highly Recommend!!”
“Radka and James were fantastic! They treated our Chai like a part of their family. She didn’t want to leave. Chai was well exercised and had a great role model in their dog, Scooter. When we need boarding again, we will not hesitate to contact Radka and James!”
“We were so anxious about Major's first ever Rover stay, but Lila really put us at ease. Major connected with Lila as soon as we entered her house and it was easy to see her ability to connect with animals. He followed her around and didn't immediately try to follow us out to the car when we went to get his stuff. Lila sent us photos and regular updates while we were away on vacation. When Major's stomach began to bother him, she didn't hesitate to contact us and confirm the need for administering his medication. She was active each day with Major, which is crucial for burning off some of that boxer energy. It was clear by the end of the visit that Lila loved Major as much as we do and would gladly have him stay with Lila and her family again!”
“I cannot recommend Raven highly enough! She was absolutely phenomenal. This was my first time leaving my dog, Pepper, with her, and she made both of us feel incredibly welcome from our initial meet-and-greet. Throughout my trip, she kept me updated with plenty of pictures and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing Pepper was happy, having fun, and making new friends. Raven also provided transportation services to deliver Pepper to one of my family members, and the entire experience was handled flawlessly and professionally. My mom is still talking about how kind she was and how exceptional her service was. I can't wait to book with Raven again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will care for their pet like family!”
“Terry was a take charge person from the very beginning we felt that she was very caring and loving to our her baby. She stayed in contact us with us for the 4 days along with pictures and commentary it was delightful. We intend to use her again and would recommend her highly to anyone!”
“Peyton & Daved took care of our pup in an emergency and we couldn’t have been happier. Their response was quick and our pup was returned happy and exhausted. We would highly recommend!”
“Abby was great! I appreciate that she took the time to meet my boy before his stay to ensure that all the 4 legged friends would be suitable together. I asked for lots of pictures and videos and she delivered. It's difficult being away from my boy so getting constant updates was a huge plus!”
“Cassandre is so responsive and a fantastic sitter for our dog! He had such a good time he did not want to come home with us. We really appreciate her good care!”
“I am so happy we found Ethel! She loves dogs and has lots of experience taking care of them. My dog Pico was so happy at her home and she made him feel welcome and cozy. Ethel took care of him for over a week and she sent me updates on his progress. She’s is very responsible, kind and warm. I am so grateful that we found her and have already hired her for another weekend. Thank you Ethel!”
