“From the moment I met Lydia and her dog, I knew my baby was going to be in great hands. She kept me updated of his doings throughout the day and was very loving when he got scared during 4th of July fireworks. I would 100% rebook with her for future services.”
“This is the second time Joanna is taking care of my Maltese dog, it was an amazing experience with such careful attention. She sent me constant updates and also is helping to train her while sitting my dog. It is so nice to have someone to trust to take care of our dog when needed. I am already booking the next time. Awesome experience!!!”
“Zahra and her family did an excellent job looking after my little guy. Super responsive and they have an amazing space for you doggies to run around in. Their home was clean, they sat down with me to discuss Xerxes’ needs and made sure to check in when he was with them. I have to also note that she showed a tremendous amount of patience and flexibility when I had a delayed flight from my trip. Would definitely entrust my little guys care to them again.”
“Great experience boarding my dog with this family! I met up with them prior to boarding and after talking with them, I could tell this was going to be a great match! My dog is high energy and it’s really important for me to know that she will have fun while she’s staying somewhere. This family understood this and really went above and beyond to give me peace of mind while I was away. I could tell from the photos and videos that my pup was cared for the way I would care for her. I highly recommend and will be using them again myself in the future.”
“I absolutely loved her. She took such great care of our fur baby. My dog was happy on return. I was also sent pictures everyday. You and your dog will be happy here.”
“Katherine has been the absolute best for watching my baby! She takes such good care of him and sticks to his extra care needs. I love that she provides pictures and updates each day! Hes always so happy and comfortable when I arrive to pick him up!”
“Luke had a relaxing weekend with Ali and her family. He was so welcomed, I couldn’t have been happier. I’m glad he was able to roam freely throughout the house just like he does at home.”
“Lindsey took great care of my dog while I was out of town. I was really nervous about leaving Cookie behind while I traveled and Lindsey sent pictures so that I knew that the dog was doing well. She was flexible about the drop off and pick up times, which I really appreciated.”
“Our fur baby, Oscar was well taken care of by Eun. He looked like he also had a great time there through videos and pictures she sent me. It was Oscar’s first stay there and he was only suppose to stay for the day but due to family situation, he ended up staying overnight. It was a last minute request and I very much appreciated Eun’s flexibility for taking him over night.”
“Vidhi did a wonderful job taking care of Buddy. Communication was smooth throughout his stay, and she sent daily pictures, which gave me peace of mind. I also loved that she also has a mini Goldendoodle, so Buddy had a buddy to keep him company! He looked very comfortable and happy in her home. I would definitely recommend Vidhi, and I have booked her again for next weekend.”
“I cannot thank Hoa enough for the incredible care she provided for my Pom! My little one was so happy staying with her. It was heartwarming to see those happy moments captured in all the adorable photos and videos she shared while I was away. Her attention to detail and genuine love for dogs gave me such peace of mind. Hoa genuinely loves and understands dogs, as my boy came back home relaxed and cheerful. It was wonderful to see how much care and attention he received!”
“We recently left our dog with Sowmiya for 10 days, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! From day one, she was warm, professional, and incredibly thoughtful. She kept us updated with regular photos and messages, which made us feel completely at ease while we were away. What stood out was how much her whole family engaged with our dog. Her husband and child took him on walks around the neighborhood and played with him in a secure, enclosed area—he looked so happy and relaxed in every picture! It was clear that Sowmiya truly cared about his well-being and gave him lots of attention, exercise, and love. We came home to a calm, content pup, and we’re so thankful for the care he received. Highly recommend Sowmiya to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate sitter. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Mei provided great care for our Cooper. We had a last minute medical issue right before we left and she provided his care wonderfully and kept us updated. Would definitely recommend Mei and would rebook again.”
“Andrew and his family pampered and took fabulous care of Archie! We highly recommend them! It is clear that Archie just adores being with them. We look forward to booking with them again!”
“She is truly amazing. I've had many other dog sitters, but this is the first time I've seen my furry friends so happy. My furry friends seemed to immediately fall in love with her the moment they met her. Even though my dogs are abandoned dogs and are very scared. She was like a magician. Than you,Angelique!!”
“Poornima was amazing! She helped us out last minute over the weekend and took such good care of our dog. She kept us updated with texts and videos, which made us feel so much better while we had to be away unexpectedly. Our dog looked happy, relaxed, and totally comfortable with her. We’re really grateful for how kind, thoughtful, and reliable she was. We’d happily book with Poornima again and definitely recommend her!”

“Maryann was absolutely wonderful! She went above and beyond while caring for our 3 dogs and cat while we were out of town. She spent extra time at our house, made sure everyone was fed, loved on, and played with, and even cleaned up accidents in the house without hesitation. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our pets were in such caring and capable hands. We would highly recommend Maryann and will definitely be booking with her again! ❤️🐾”
“We’ve never felt so relaxed and at ease during a trip, knowing our baby girl was in such good hands. No more awkward moments wondering if friends remembered to feed our cat!

We’ll definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a truly caring sitter. Thank you, Yiyi! P.S. she is also a great photographer!”

“Marcela was excellent! This was our first time using her and I couldn’t have been happier. She was extremely responsive, kept me updated throughout the visit, and took great care of both of our dogs. She even cleaned up after them and took them for a walk, even though the walk wasn’t something we had originally asked her to do. She truly went above and beyond. It gave me a lot of peace of mind knowing they were being well taken care of while we were away. I would absolutely recommend Marcela and will definitely be using her again!”
“Nouf did a great job taking care of our pet cat while we were away for a long weekend. She was very responsive, prompt and completed all tasks perfectly. Will definitely hire her again if she is available.”
“Our experience was excellent from start to finish. Tamara was responsible, attentive, and kept us updated with messages and photos throughout our trip. Both dogs were clearly well cared for and relaxed when we returned. Great communication and genuine care - we’ll definitely be booking again!”
About: I’ve had a dog for 7 years and a ton of experience pet sitting for people in my neighborhood. I love animals and can’t wait to meet more! I’m on summer break right now and I am free every day. The only scheduling issue would be working around other bookings and one vacation later in the summer. I make sure to spend a lot of time with each pet and play and pay attention to them all. I will make sure to follow all instructions I am given.
“Heather was great! She is really attentive and loved giving my kitties affection. She also sent plenty of pictures! I would recommend booking with her. You will feel safe leaving your fur babies in her care.”
“So glad we found Nazeeya! She was professional and thorough from start to finish. She was intuitive to our pet’s needs and communicated any irregularities she saw that may be cause for concern. She followed their care plan precisely and bonded quickly with our boy Wolfy. She went above and beyond to see that their needs were met and even brought in a huge house-plant package that was delivered while we were away. She did an excellent job and will definitely book with her the next time we travel.”

“Aastha and her family did the most wonderful job taking care of Winston! They were incredibly attentive, loving, and welcoming, and I felt completely comfortable leaving him in their care. Their home is warm, inviting, and very pet friendly. Winston absolutely loved playing with their dog Scoops and had such a great time running around and enjoying their backyard. It was clear that Winston was treated like part of their family, which meant so much to us. I would 100% recommend Aastha to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and genuinely loving with pets. We will definitely be using her again! ❤️🐾”

Also, with a fenced backyard , it is an easy and convenient place for pets.
“Bottom line, this was my second time using Vivian and she is my go to person to watch Mello. She watched Mello while I was out of town for a few days. During that time, I received updates on how Mello was during in both picture and video form. Mello looked forward to going over for doggie daycare and play with Biscotti. Vivian treated Mello like she was her with dog. Looking forward to using her again in the future”
“Joanna and John have been amazing with Peanut. I’ve been to many sitters around the area, in and out of rover, and I’ve never had a better experience than here. They are extremely friendly, super flexible, and will make sure your dog gets all the attention they need. They are very detail oriented to make sure my dog got the best experience and ensured that he will be very comfortable during his stay. Joanna kept me updated throughout the day with pictures and a breakdown of how he’s doing so far. She’s is also attentive and very responsive if I ever had any questions about how things were going. Another plus is that they have a very big yard for peanut to run around in. Joanna will take him outside multiple times a day to run around and makes sure he gets a lot of exercise. She makes sure to create a safe environment for all the dogs to play together as well. The house and yard are kept extremely clean everyday for the dogs, so I know I can feel comfortable every time I bring him over for daycare or to stay the night. All in all, I’m super happy I found them, Peanut has been having a blast. I will definitely be booking more stays with them in the future. If you’re looking for a sitter, I would highly recommend!”
“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!”
“Lydia was absolutely wonderful with our pup Joey today. She was warm, welcoming, and very friendly, which instantly put me at ease. Joey can be quite shy and anxious, but Lydia took great care of him and made sure he felt comfortable throughout the day. I really appreciated the regular updates with photos, which kept me reassured that Joey was doing well. Overall, we are very pleased with Lydia’s care and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful and reliable dog sitter.”
“Great experience. James and Iryna and extremely responsive and took great care of our two dogs. Iryna sent frequent pics and videos and kept us updated. Definitely recommend them to take care of your furry family members.”
About: We’re a husband-and-wife team with a lifelong love of animals and years of experience caring for both dogs and cats—especially rescues. We’ve worked with anxious and reactive pets, administered medications, and provided the extra attention they need to feel safe and comfortable. Our own family includes a 65lb rescue Foxhound and a rescue tabby cat, so we understand the quirks and joys that come with rescue pets. Audrey works from home full time, and Shane is a teacher, which means we have a flexible schedule and your pets won’t be left alone. We’ll make sure they’re happy, healthy, and loved like our own. Audrey works from home full time and Shane is a teacher, so someone will be home with your pet at all times. We make it a priority to follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. Our typical day looks like this: 6–7 AM: Wake up, potty break in the yard, and breakfast 12–1 PM: 45-minute walk 4–5 PM: Playtime in the yard, potty break, and dinner 8–9 PM: Final potty break in the yard before bedtime For dog boarding: Our dog loves meeting and playing with other dogs, so your pup will have a built-in playmate. Our cat will always be kept in a separate room to ensure everyone’s comfort. Since Audrey works from home full time and Shane is a teacher, your dog will always have company and supervision. For cat boarding: Your cat will enjoy a private guest room set up just for them, complete with a litter box, cat tree, toys, and all the comforts they need. To help them feel secure, one of us will spend time in the room during the day—often working from there—so they’ll have companionship and attention throughout their stay.
“I had a great experience! Kaylyn and Naman accommodated my last minute booking and took great care of my dogs. I’ll definitely be booking with them in the future!”
“Newton loved his stay with Sue, so much that he didn't want to leave when we picked him up. She has a nice piece of property that gives the dogs plenty of room to run around outside but also inviting enough to snuggle up inside.”
“Thank you so much, Hannah, for taking care so well of Lucy! I can tell she had a great time with you and I would always trust you with her again. I loved the pictures you shared during her stay and the smooth drop off and pick up process. Thank you once again!”
About: Dogs have always been an important part of my life. I cared for my Miniature Schnauzer for many years, including times when he required extra care due to health issues. That experience taught me patience, responsibility, and the importance of understanding each dog’s unique needs. I spend most of my time at home, allowing me to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I do my best to maintain each dog’s normal routine so they feel comfortable during their stay. ✨ What you can expect: 🐾 Personalized Care: I keep the number of bookings limited so each dog receives plenty of affection, supervision, and individual attention. Exclusive one-on-one care may also be available upon request. 🏡 Easy Yard Access: Our living space connects directly to the yard. Since the yard is unfenced, dogs are always leashed and supervised during outdoor time. 📸 Frequent Daily Updates: I love sending plenty of photos and videos throughout the day so you can see how your pup is doing.
“Ollie had such a great time with Anurag and Naina! Anurag was incredibly friendly and flexible, which we really appreciated. He kept us updated regularly, giving us so much peace of mind while we were away. We highly recommend him and will definitely book with him again!”
About: I've been with dogs since I was a kid, and honestly, I can't explain my attachment to these beautiful souls. When I look into their eyes, I see pure love—and I believe they deserve nothing less in return. For years, I've onboarded and cared for dogs, learning their personalities, their quirks, their fears. I understand separation anxiety deeply, and I make it my mission to turn your absence into comfort, not stress. When your dog stays with me, they're not in a kennel or with a "sitter." They're at home. Your pup will have: 1) A warm, cozy vacation home where they're part of my family—including my own dog, who provides constant companionship and helps anxious pups feel safe 2) Adventure & Exercise: Long walks, hiking trails, and outdoor playtime—because a happy dog is an active dog 3) Structure with Love: Meals on schedule, plus treats I've earned through their good behavior—think fresh boiled chicken, their favorite reward 4) Real Connection: I treat every dog like my own. Not because it's my job, but because I genuinely can't help it. I work from home, so the pups get 24/7 care and attention. My day revolves around the dogs: morning walks, midday adventures, weekend trials, regular potty breaks, scheduled meals, playtime, and constant companionship. They're never alone—never crated—never waiting. They won't experience separation anxiety here. They'll experience a loving home where they're part of my daily routine, every single day. Pups get a warm, cozy, dog-friendly environment where they're treated like family. They have access to comfortable spaces, toys, water, and safe outdoor areas. My own dog is here too, providing constant companionship—especially important for dogs with separation anxiety. They're never alone, never crated. Daily Care in My Home: Nutrition: Meals on schedule, portion-controlled, with fresh boiled chicken treats (their favorite!) Exercise: Multiple walks and hikes daily, playtime, outdoor adventures based on each dog's energy level Comfort: Bedding, safe spaces, cuddle time, and the security of knowing I'm always here Attention: Individualized care—I learn each dog's personality, fears, and needs from day one Health: Medication management, scheduled potty breaks, and monitoring their wellbeing
“Jane was amazing. She did more than expected and beyond. I got daily photos and updates. Her daycare space is so beautiful. My dog Maxx had such a great time there. She took extra care of him. I would highly recommend her. Thank you Jane.”
“Taylor is a wonderful dog sitter who has been an absolute pleasure to work with. She is incredibly personable and treats my dog, Wynter, like family. Wynter has become best friends with Taylor's dog, Stuffy, and her bagel, forming a delightful trio. Taylor's loving and attentive care has made every experience stress-free for both me and my dog. It's evident that she has a genuine love for animals, and I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a compassionate and reliable pet sitter.”

About: Having pets of my own has taught me how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your animals. I currently have two dogs (our senior cat sadly passed) so I’m comfortable with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I’m very outdoorsy and active, so I love keeping dogs engaged with fun walks, playtime, and lots of attention while making sure they feel safe and comfortable. Whether I’m house sitting or out on walks, I focus on giving pets a fun, stress-free experience while keeping owners updated and reassured. I’m dependable, patient, and genuinely enjoy building trust with every pet I care for. I'm the lady you pass on a hike who smiles and says hi! to your dog first! I’m an avid walker and genuinely love being around animals, so spending time with pets is something I truly enjoy. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or relaxing companionship, I make sure every pet gets lots of attention, care, and affection. I’m available for overnight house sitting and can stay the full night to help pets feel comfortable and secure in their own home. Mornings, evenings, and weekends are also very open for walks, drop-ins, and quality time with your furry family members. I always prioritize making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of both the space and the pet’s established schedule, including feeding times, walks, medications, playtime, and bedtime routines. I know pets are most relaxed when they feel secure and familiar, so I focus on giving them calm attention, affection, exercise, and companionship while you’re away. I’m very attentive on walks and outdoors, always keeping pets safely leashed and away from unsafe situations. I also pay close attention to behavior, energy levels, and comfort so I can respond to each pet’s individual needs. Communication is important to me, so I provide regular updates and photos to help owners feel reassured and connected while their pets are in my care. My goal is to ensure your pet wags or purrs like crazy every time I walk in that door!
“I'm so glad I found Nouf! She was punctual for every walk and kept me in the loop with photo updates. My dog was thrilled to see her again during her second visit. I’ll definitely be booking with Nouf again whenever the need arises.”
“Tamara is absolutely incredible. We have been though a couple of walkers (they’ve been great too) however, Tamara is amazing. She goes above and beyond. She spends time working with my pup, communicates and gives helpful suggestions on how to get my pup to lower his anxiety. If I could give her 6 stars, I WOULD! Highly recommend!”
About: I treat every pet like they're part of my own family. I have experience caring for pets of all ages from playful puppies and kittens to senior pets who need a little extra patience and TLC. My own 14-year-old dog has taught me that every walk doesn't have to be fast to be meaningful, and I'm happy to match each pet's pace and individual needs. Pet care is already a part of my everyday routine. I care for my own dog daily, making sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and love. I understand how important it is for pets to stick to their routines, so whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, or just spending quality time together, I'm committed to giving every pet the care and attention they deserve. Your pet will be treated like part of the family in my home. I have a gentle, friendly 14-year-old dog who gets along well with other animals. While I don't have a fenced yard, I make sure pets get plenty of exercise and outdoor time through regular leashed walks. I provide a safe, loving environment with lots of attention, playtime, cuddles (if they enjoy them!), and I'll do my best to keep them on the routine they're used to at home.
About: I enjoy pet sitting and have tried to do it consistently as I can for the past 5 years. I am responsible and experienced. I have experience with domestic pets and turtles. I have a lot of experience with households with multiple dogs or a combination of pets such as cats and turtles or dogs and rabbits. I have other contract type jobs, but I really enjoy pet sitting and try to do it as much as possible. It is a consistent part of my week. I will always focus my energy on the pets in my clients home while I’m there. I will live my life on the schedule they are on to the best of my ability.
“Ashley was an absolute angel watching my Romeo!! She was extremely thorough and followed my instructions to a T (there were many! Lol) she was inquisitive and took pride in being helpful and making sure my puppy was well taken care of. She was always early or on time and always gave my baby lots of love! I would and WILL be asking her to dog sit again! Thank you so much Ashley!! ⭐️”
About: I have taken care of pets my whole life. I currently have cats, a dog, and a lizard! I have experience pet sitting for family and neighbors. I have plenty of time to spend with your pets. I am flexible and can hang out with your pets as much as you would like. I am open to late nights or early mornings as well. I believe that pets are the most comfortable in their own homes. It’s better to come to them so they can stay where they know, rather than having to get comfortable in a new place.
“Sabrilla was great! She was on time on all days, took Murph-E for a walk and exercised him as requested. Even on the day it was raining, she came and took him. Good communication and reliable.”
“My family was very happh with Ji Ung and Hyunjoo taking care of our dog Toast :) They were very nice from the moment we met them and we werr able to explain both on the website as well as inperson any comments or extra details about what Toast might need. They would even send us a couple of videos here and there of him eating or playing which reassured us how well he was taken care of. Thank you both again for taking care of him so well!”
About: I have had dogs my entire life and love all animals. I work at a local dog boarding and doggy daycare facility so I have lots of experience with all sizes, ages and breeds of dogs. I will love your dog like they are my own and give them all the pets and playtime they need! I currently work part time so I have plenty of time to drop in and care for your dog(s) or take them for a walk. I’m local to the South Riding/Stone Ridge area. I will always make sure to treat your home with respect and care while dropping in with your dogs or taking them for their daily sniff around the neighborhood! I’m great at following instructions so I can care for your dogs the way you want them cared for.
About: As a friendly cat-sitter for family friends around the area, and cat owner for years, I know the responsibilities of caring for one. These include changing the litter, understanding feeding schedules, playing, etc. I have taken care of cats from all stages of life! Additionally, I have taken care of friends’ dogs while they are out of town by feeding, walking, and playing with them! Your pet will be cared for like my own, and rest assured they will be loved, content, fed, and safe while you are gone! I am available for last-minute holiday visits! I’m currently a full time student and work a part time job as an intern at FCPS. As for availability, please message me, I am very flexible. I can assure you your dogs will stay active, fed, groomed, and cared for in every way! As far as cats I have one at home so I will adjust to the cats’ personality by giving them space if need be. Additionally, I will make sure they are clean, fed, and hydrated!
About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs and understand that every dog has their own personality, energy level, and needs. I currently have two dogs of my own—a Pit Bull and a Mastiff mix—which has given me plenty of experience caring for large, strong, and energetic dogs. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes and temperaments and understand the importance of patience, exercise, consistency, and individual attention. Whether your dog needs a good walk, playtime, companionship, or simply some extra love and attention, I’m committed to making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and take pride in providing reliable, attentive, and compassionate care. Dog walking is a natural part of my daily routine. I have two dogs of my own, so I’m already accustomed to providing consistent walks, exercise, feeding, and attention throughout the day. The safety and well-being of every pet I care for is my top priority. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and specific needs so they can feel comfortable and secure in my care.
About: I have been fortunate to have "furry children " (a.k.a. Dogs) in my home for the majority of my adult life.....and I always will.....words I live by? Gotta love dogs! Seasoned, mature and loving, I'm available for those in need of regularly scheduled care and new clients that love their furry "children" as much as I do! I'm an Empty-nester, have a flexible schedule, and work assignments from home. I have plenty of time to walk and care for your furry family members. Caring for dogs is part of my day. I always make sure that the pets in my care are feed, walked, played with, and left clean, comfortable and content after each visit.
About: It’s been three years since I started pet sitting through Rover, and the experience has been truly rewarding. The more time I spend with dogs, the deeper my love for them grows. I’ve also become much better at reading their signals and understanding their unique personalities. My family and I have always wanted to adopt more dogs, but due to various circumstances, it hasn’t been easy. Pet sitting turned out to be the perfect alternative—it’s been a fantastic experience for all of us! The hardest part is always saying goodbye, but over time, we’ve realized that many of our furry guests return to stay with us again, which brings us so much joy. In our home, we let dogs be themselves. If they want to nap on the couch or prefer some alone time, we give them that space. If they want to sleep in the bedroom, they’re more than welcome to. We let them choose where they feel most comfortable. I’ve been around dogs since I was young and often cared for my friends’ pets while they traveled. So I have a lot of experience understanding their needs and making them feel at home. Every member of my family loves dogs, and we treat every guest like our own. When I meet a new dog, I stay close to them and spend the whole day observing and bonding with them. This helps me understand their likes, dislikes, and behaviors so I can ease any anxiety they may have. I always communicate with pet parents about their dog’s habits, but I also make sure to observe and learn from the dog directly—because even though they can’t speak, they communicate a lot through their actions. Your dog will be loved, respected, and well cared for in our home—as if they were part of our family. I’m a stay-at-home mom with two teenagers, and I’m usually home during both weekdays and weekends—except when I travel or occasionally go out for errands or to drive my kids. Even when I’m out, other members of my family are usually home, so your dog will rarely be left alone. My daily routine starts around 6:00 AM. I take the dogs out to our fenced backyard, feed them breakfast, and then we go for a 30-minute walk. If the weather allows, the dogs are welcome to go in and out of the backyard freely throughout the day. After dinner, we go for another walk to get some fresh air and exercise. If you have specific requests, I’m happy to accommodate additional walks during the day as well. Before bedtime—around 10:00 PM—I take the dogs out one last time for a bathroom break and then settle them in for the night. I can ensure at least two walks per day, plus regular access to a safe, fenced yard. Since I’m home most of the time, and my family is here when I’m not, your dog will enjoy plenty of company and attention throughout their stay. We live in a single-family home, which is very dog-friendly and easy to navigate—no need to go up and down long flights of stairs. There are just a couple of steps at the entrance, making it easy for dogs of all sizes and ages to go in and out comfortably. Our home features a large deck where dogs can relax and enjoy the sunshine, as well as a screened porch where they can stay dry and cozy even on rainy days—perfect for pups who still want to be outside without getting wet. We also have a fully fenced backyard, so dogs can safely go outside during the day whenever they’d like. Whether they want to play, lounge, or explore, our home provides a comfortable and secure environment for them to feel right at home.

“Great experience boarding my dog with this family! I met up with them prior to boarding and after talking with them, I could tell this was going to be a great match! My dog is high energy and it’s really important for me to know that she will have fun while she’s staying somewhere. This family understood this and really went above and beyond to give me peace of mind while I was away. I could tell from the photos and videos that my pup was cared for the way I would care for her. I highly recommend and will be using them again myself in the future.”
“I absolutely loved her. She took such great care of our fur baby. My dog was happy on return. I was also sent pictures everyday. You and your dog will be happy here.”
“We recently left our dog with Sowmiya for 10 days, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! From day one, she was warm, professional, and incredibly thoughtful. She kept us updated with regular photos and messages, which made us feel completely at ease while we were away. What stood out was how much her whole family engaged with our dog. Her husband and child took him on walks around the neighborhood and played with him in a secure, enclosed area—he looked so happy and relaxed in every picture! It was clear that Sowmiya truly cared about his well-being and gave him lots of attention, exercise, and love. We came home to a calm, content pup, and we’re so thankful for the care he received. Highly recommend Sowmiya to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate sitter. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Andrew and his family pampered and took fabulous care of Archie! We highly recommend them! It is clear that Archie just adores being with them. We look forward to booking with them again!”
“Poornima was amazing! She helped us out last minute over the weekend and took such good care of our dog. She kept us updated with texts and videos, which made us feel so much better while we had to be away unexpectedly. Our dog looked happy, relaxed, and totally comfortable with her. We’re really grateful for how kind, thoughtful, and reliable she was. We’d happily book with Poornima again and definitely recommend her!”
“Nancy and her daughter Elena took really good care of my fur baby! I received a photo every day of my pampered pooch, and she looked to be both happy and comfortable! Travel ended a day earlier than expected, so I arranged for early pick up. Will definitely consider this Rover rep again, however, when planning my summer vacation.”
“Wyatt is terrific! He took great care of our dog Toby while we were away and kept us updated with pictures. Toby got lots of love and enjoyed hanging out with Wyatt, Alien, and other dogs. Would definitely recommend Wyatt to anyone!”
“Hannah was great! We were gone for a week and she provided daily pictures and updates on how our two dogs were doing. She followed all my instructions and provided extra attention during a thunderstorm and fireworks. I would definitely have my fur babies back to stay with her!”
“I love using Candice to take care of Ahsoka. She is reliable and flexible and consistently sends me pics, and she was this time as usual. I look forward to hiring Candice again.”
“Susan was absolutely incredible with our dog, Ryder! He can be pretty high-maintenance, but she handled him with such care and attention that it truly felt like a home away from home for him. She kept us updated the entire time with thoughtful messages and adorable pictures, which made us feel so at ease while we were away. Her yard is perfect for dogs, and it’s clear Ryder had an amazing time—he came back happy and relaxed. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and are so grateful for the love she showed our pup. We’ll 100% be booking with her again!”
“Teo had an excellent weekend and a great time playing with Maui. It is the second booking, and I’ll definitely book again. Teo was cheerful getting there, which tells it all.”
“Stacie is truly amazing!!! Frequently sent pictures and updates during Daisy’s stay which put my mind at ease having been so far away. Daisy was very well cared for and came home exhausted from all the fun she had. Five stars isn’t enough!”
“Perry was an amazing sitter for our pluto. Very sweet and thoughtful ☺️ She made sure pluto was comfortable in every possible way, plus pluto gained a friend in Perry and Caesar 💕 Communicating with her was very easy and she always kept us updated the whole time. Would definitely book with her again!”
“We felt very comfortable leaving Cody with Noelle for our vacation. She was very professional and seem to know a lot about the behavior of dogs. Cody came home very tired which told us he had a great time playing with the other dogs. Also, he settled into our home routine quickly and we feel this means he wasn't anxious about us leaving him with Noelle. We will definitely use Noelle for dog sitting in the future.”
“Kaylyn and Naman are great pet sitters! I highly recommend them. They took great care of our dog Alli, she was very happy and relaxed with them! They were attentive to her every need and always made sure she had walks and outside time. Alli had an eye problem and they took really excellent care of her. I would definitely trust your pets with them, they’re great!”
“Katie was amazing! Teddy had such a fun time with her and her cats. Even though I booked last minute, she was so accommodating. She kept me updated throughout the day and was great with communication. I’d definitely love for her to watch Teddy again in the future!”
“This was the most effortless experience I have ever had in having someone take care of my two dogs. From the beginning request to the dropping off of my dogs back home, it was so over the top pleasant and easy. I can’t wait to have Chaoran and her family take care of my dogs again!!”
