“Karen is fabulous! Super organized! She took care of our 2 dogs all week and treated them like they were her own. They had tons of walks, snuggles & playtime. She kept us updated a few times per day every day to know how they were doing and sent us over 120 photos in a week (on average more than 10 per day). She truly deserves more than 5 stars.”
“We had a great experience with Youyou! She took wonderful care of my dog and kept us updated with messages and photos throughout his stay. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. My dog seemed happy and comfortable, and we truly appreciate all the love and attention she gave him. We would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to other pet parents🩵”
“Musa was a lifesaver and took in Dooly for us on very short notice while we were dealing with a home renovation. We knew he was in great hands and were able to focus on home things while he was away. Thanks Musa & family! We recommend Musa to everyone who has a pet 😂”
“Theo had another amazing stay with Leslie. She provides him with all the snuggles and attention he demands. Leslie is simply the kindest and best home away from home for Theo.”
“Jason & Becky were wonderful with Juneau. They were very responsive, attentive, and genuinely caring throughout her stay. It’s clear they are experienced dog owners who treated her with kindness and great care. I received frequent updates with photos and videos, along with helpful information about her behavior and daily routine, which gave me great peace of mind. Thank you both so much—Juneau is definitely looking forward to coming back!”
“Kendall is an excellent sitter and took amazing care of our pup. She goes above and beyond to make sure he’s happy and has a good time! I would not hesitate to book again and I hope she’s available the next time we need a sitter!”
“Andrew and his family took such great care of Ollie while we were away. They truly made him feel like part of their family and spoiled him with treats he loved. Andrew kept us updated all weekend with photos, and it was clear that Ollie was having a wonderful time. We felt completely at ease knowing he was in such caring hands.”
“Shi Ming / Frankie did a great job hosting my dog, Hopper. Hopper loves Jealous, Frankie’s Bernese Mountain Dog pup, who is as gentle a playmate and companion. And they have a great yard and basement to play in. Also. Frankie was able to be flexible and cared for Hopper an extra day when my return flight was unexpectedly delayed by six hours. When I need someone to care for Hopper again, I’m definitely contacting Frankie and Jealous again.”
“Nalleli and her family took wonderful care of our 15 yr old dog, Kiki. She was loved, had lots of cuddles and snacks and was very happy at Nalleli. I appreciate the care that Nalleli provided and look forward to booking her again to look after our pup when we’re away.”
“Jorge and Alejandra were AMZAZING!! I have a very anxious girl (dog) Roo and they made sure she was very comfortable and felt right at home! They were great about sending updates and putting my mind at ease! Roo had a great time and was very tired when she came home! I felt very comfortable with her staying with them! They truly treated her like part of the family and I will be contacting them when needed again!”
“Ron and his family, including Loki, gave Winston the gift of an amazing walk-filled weekend. Winston loved having out in the backyard sniffing our squirrels. Winston gives Loki and Loki's humans five stars!!”
About: I've had a dog in my home my entire life, and am always the one my friends/family turn to if they need someone to look after their pets. I have also fostered multiple dogs with leash reactivity, and have had some 1-1 work with an R+ (positive reinforcement) trainer to ensure pups can have the best experience out and about in the world while still getting their sniffs and exercise in. I occasionally run outside so I can offer to run with your pup(s) 1-2 times a week if you'd like, and I live 5 minutes away from Baron Cameron park if you like for them to play with other pups during the day at a dog park as well. Or of course we can just snuggle most of the day while I work from home. Well either way there will be lots of snuggles and pets... My last dog passed away in 2025 after a year long battle with cancer, so I have no problem giving medicine and making sure we stay on a strict schedule with food/medicine if that is what your dog needs. I look forward to becoming your pup's new best friend! I work part-time from home. I'm available for day-sitting while you're at work or overnight boarding when you're out of town. I'm typically up by 7:30, have a fenced in backyard, go on walks/runs throughout the day and love going to the dog park if your pup enjoys it! I have a 6 foot fence in my backyard that your pup can play around in. Take 2-3 x 25 minute walks around the neighborhood throughout the day and can occasionally go for 30-60 minute jogs if your pup enjoys more exercise (1-2/week)
“This was Amber's second stay with Carla and her family and it was another fantastic stay. She absolutely adores this family. She is so well treated and loved. She gets lots of walks. We feel fortunate to have found Carla. She loves dogs and treats them like members of the family.”
“John and Johanna were so wonderful with our sweet Teddy. He had such a fun time playing with Penny. I would absolutely recommend John and Johanna. They are so caring and interactive with the pets they care for. They sent many photos and videos as well as daily reports. I had such peace of mind leaving him with them for my wedding weekend.”
“Highly recommend! John took such good care of our dog Bandit while we were away. Even with the cold temperatures I knew he was taken out for walks multiple times and dressed accordingly. John updated me daily with photos and information about Bandits day. I knew he was spoiled and loved on the entire 9 days we were away. I also appreciated the fact that Bandit had company all day, everyday.”
“Candice was an excellent sitter for Ahsoka. They took to each other immediately and she sent me plenty of pictures. Ahsoka was very loved and I look forward to hiring Candice again.”
“Jose took great care of our dog. He was incredibly responsive and sent daily photos which was very helpful since our little dog was staying with him for the first time. We will definitely call on Jose to sit for our dog again!”

“Asher provided consistent updates and reached out with questions to ensure my cat was well taken care of. It was very comforting while I was traveling internationally for 10 days. I would absolutely love to book again with Asher in the future.”
“Hi Hannah. You are truly a cat-whisperer. Shuba is generally very shy; cat sitters we’ve used in the past never even saw her because she was hiding. We were so very pleasantly surprised by the photo of you petting Shuba. Wow and than you.”
“Christine was super punctual, took care of my baby boy, and even took care of some things around the house. 10/10 highly recommend. Would love to have her cat sit again!”
“Thanks Youyou for visiting my cat! She was very responsible and caring, followed all my instructions carefully, took great care of my cat, and sent me lots of photos and videos. Highly recommend!”
“Tricia was wonderful with our cat. She was extremely attentive to her care instructions and even asked some questions I wouldn’t have thought to address. She sent great pictures to show that the cat was happy, healthy, and well looked after. I would not hesitate to request for her help again.”
“Christina was great! She was timely, sent lots of pictures, and also let me know when my fluffy kitty had some hairballs. She has great attention to detail, and my timid baby absolutely LOVED her. Definitely will book again!!”
“Victoria was amazing! I needed someone last minute for drop-in visits with my cat during a work trip, and she was incredibly accommodating and responsive from the start. She made the whole process so much less stressful and took great care of my cat while I was away. I really appreciated the updates, reliability, and genuine care she showed. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!”
“Nicole is amazing and did so well with our kitties. We have some personalities in our cats and she was so accommodating to each of our cat’s needs. Thank you so much, Nicole! Book her now!”
“Amanda was wonderful with our two cats!! She is a great communicator providing updates and photos everyday. We would book her again and recommend her to any one!”
“Sara did an amazing job with our cats! She took care of their needs and was able to keep them company while we were gone. We were amazed at how much our cats like Sara, they are not the most social towards new people. We were very impressed and will be using Sara again!”
“Regina was really great! She watched our two cats for a last minute trip and they did very well with her. We have one shy cat who takes longer to get used to people and he was out of hiding and being social on only her second visit! I do appreciate that she took notes during our introduction when I was showing her around our home & telling her what to do. It shows an extra level of care. And with that, she followed all instructions perfectly & sent many pictures. We would definitely use Regina again!”

“Loreen was really patient with Milo, who is a bit skittish around strangers. She took the time to get him acquainted with her house, yards and kids. She and the kids genuinely love Milo and she sent great pictures of his stay at her house. I’ll definitely use her again!”
“Carla and her family are amazing with our pup (and all dogs). She is transparent with communication with frequent updates and pictures. She ensures a smooth pickup and dropoff as well even with busy schedules. Thanks for making our dog feel safe and loved!”
“Highly recommend Kiran. We were able to do a meet and greet prior to make sure our dogs felt comfortable and got along. We were sent pictures and videos throughout the day which made us so happy to see how at home our pup had made herself, and how welcomed she was into their home. I’m so happy to have had Penny cared by Kiran and will definitely reach out to him again in the future.”
“Jason and Becky were very communicative the whole day! Echo seemed to be having a blast in every picture and she came home a happy, tired pup. Plus, Mocha and Tako are sweethearts and I'm glad Echo has excellent role models when she stays with Jason and Becky. Definitely will be booking again!”
About: I provide thoughtful, home-based care for dogs who thrive in a calm and structured environment. As a work-from-home sitter, I’m able to give consistent attention, supervision, and a steady routine throughout the day. I have hands-on experience caring for dogs with different energy levels and temperaments, and I pay close attention to their behavior, comfort, and safety. What sets me apart is that I keep things intentionally small and controlled. I take the time to understand each dog’s needs, and prioritize a low-stress experience with plenty of outdoor time, gentle structure, and a secure fenced yard. I also require a meet-and-greet to ensure the right fit, so every dog in my care feels safe, comfortable, and well looked after.I keep my care intentionally small so each dog gets consistent attention and a calm environment. Doggy care fits naturally into my daily routine since I work from home and am able to provide consistent supervision and companionship throughout the day.Dogs in my care are part of a calm, structured routine that includes regular outdoor time in my fenced yard, walks on nearby trails ( My fenced backyard opens directly to walking trails for easy access to outdoor time and walks) along with plenty of time to rest and relax indoors. I build my schedule around the dogs I’m caring for, making sure they get a good balance of activity, attention, and downtime. On a weekly basis, I keep things predictable and low-stress, which helps dogs settle in comfortably. I’m mindful about not overbooking, so each dog receives the time and attention they need without feeling overwhelmed. Whether it’s a weekday or weekend, their care and routine remain consistent so they feel safe and at ease... When pets stay in my home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. I follow each dog’s feeding schedule, potty routine, and any specific instructions provided by the owner. Dogs have regular access to my fenced yard for bathroom breaks and outdoor time, along with walks on nearby trails depending on their energy level. Inside the home, dogs are given a calm space to relax and are never left unsupervised for long periods since I work from home. I introduce dogs thoughtfully and only take on a small number at a time to maintain a safe and low-stress environment. I also pay close attention to behavior, appetite, and overall comfort, and I communicate with owners if anything seems off. My goal is to make their stay feel predictable, safe, and as close to their home routine as possible.
“We are beyond thrilled with the exceptional care our dog received from Sang and Hee Suk! From the moment we dropped our pup off we knew she was in Good hands. Our dachshund isn’t the easiest dog, she struggles with separation anxiety and confidence. Lucky for us, Sang and Hee Suk raised a dachshund for many years and so they were SUPER understanding and patient with our dogs needs. Communication was great— both before and during our dogs visit. We never once worried about her during our time away, knowing she was in such loving hands. Our pup came home happy, healthy, and calm, which is the best sign of a great experience. She is now currently passed out snoring next to me as I write this review lol. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! If you’re looking for someone who is trustworthy, caring, and truly understands dogs, we highly recommend Sang and Hee Suk! We are so grateful to have found them :)”
“Evie had a wonderful stay! She absolutely loves Ms. Catherine. Catherine is such a thoughtful, organized, and loving sitter . We felt completely at ease knowing Evie was in her care. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind and reliable pet sitter!”
“Millie enjoyed her first Rover.com experience with Mario who calmly coped with her initial separation anxiety and a couple of carpet mishaps. He kept us informed during the sit, including photos, and we felt comfortable leaving Millie with him. We're all looking forward to a return visit.”
“Susan was phenomenal! She graciously agreed to watch Mocha on short notice, and I felt completely at ease leaving her in Susan’s care. Mocha adored her right away — she didn’t even look back at me! 😂”
About: I have had dogs since I was 12 years old. I currently have a lovely Samoyed and he is the best! Gets along with other dogs and it's super playful. I treat furbabies like family I work from home so I'm available to play, feed and take care of your fur baby all the time, and, best part is, they will have a loving play pal! There is a lot of green areas around my apt so it makes it easier to go on walks and play. Also, my dog is super friendly and makes a great pay partner!

“Wow, what a lovely person! Jennifer truly cares about doing a great job caring for animals- specifically my dog and two cats!!! I’m so grateful for her incredible communication and dedication to her job!!!”
“Musa , thank you for your courteous and polite manners. It’s always refreshing to be around optimistic people like yourself. We were always informed of the progress of your visits to walk Browny and had that very important peace of mind knowing we were in good hands.”
“Mary is great. My dog loves her. She takes her for walks twice a week. She is always reliable and sends me detailed descriptions of their adventures on each walk. I highly recommend Mary for any walking services.”
“Francisco is an outstanding dog walker! He consistently goes above and beyond to make sure our dog is well cared for. After every walk, he communicates with me and provides thoughtful updates about how everything went, including anything he noticed that I should be aware of. What really stood out to me was his attention to detail and genuine care. During our last walk, it started raining, and he reached out to ask where he could find a towel so he could dry our dog off before leaving. That level of thoughtfulness meant a lot to me and showed how much he truly cares about the pets he looks after. I highly recommend Francisco to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional dog walker. Your pet will be in great hands!”
About: Hello! My name is Savannah and I'm an animal lover of all personalities and sizes. I grew up with cats and currently have a senior fur baby, Pickles, who won't leave my side. I also volunteer by fostering kittens through Wolf Trap Animal Rescue. While in college I lived with multiple dogs throughout the years and helped with their daily care and dog walking. I also volunteered at the SPCA and took dogs out for the day to better acclimate them to people and new environments in order to help them get adopted. Whether your pet needs long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just simply a companion while you're gone, I'm happy to help! I'm responsible, communicative, and have a flexible work schedule. I'd love the opportunity to meet your pet and provide them with safe and loving care. I currently work full time with a flexible schedule, working partly in the office and partly remote. My schedule changes frequently where no day is the same, providing lots of flexibility and ability to adjust based off whatever your needs are. I have been around cats and dogs my whole life and know what it takes to gain their trust and take care of them like they are my own! I am comfortable in new environments with new pets and have been a neighborhood pet sitter for over 10 years.
“Tricia was phenomenal. We met her on short notice and we were away for a full week. Tricia visited our house twice a day for walks, feeding and water. She took excellent care of our dog, Maggie, and was in communication throughout the week. We felt so secure with her and Maggie was very happy when we got home.”
“Anna did great with Indy. She met him before his walk which made both of us comfortable. Each day Anna walked him I came home to a relaxed and happy golden retriever. Definitely recommend her and will request her again.”

“Christine is the best! She is responsive, communicative and gives nice long walks. My dog is always happy to see her. I feel confident that my sweet pooch is cared for with Christine. I Highly recommend her.”

About: For as long as I've remembered I've been around animals. I grew up with a yorkie named Paco and shortly after turning 5 I had the chance to help raise my next dog, a shih tzu named Pebbles who we got when she was 11 weeks old. I often cared for them by taking them on walks, giving them baths, feeding them, and overall giving them love and entertainment. In 2019 my family decided to get another dog after Paco passed away. This time we settled on a golden retriever, Terra. Now that I was older I was able to take full responsibility for her. I taught her all the tricks she knows. I'd take her out to swim and walk around the neighborhood. I'd even hand feed her and Pebbles when they would be super picky about their food. I'd also take care of my neighbors cat when she was away on vacation as well as feed the stray cat that often visited my backyard. Aside from cats and dogs I've had many other pets such as birds, hamsters, rabbits, turtles and more. Animals are a very important aspect in my life. My desire to care and love them is extremely strong. I currently have a flexible, mostly remote 9-to-5 job. Because I work from home, my daily routine revolves comfortably around pet care. I love taking breaks between my meetings to give pets some fresh air, a quick walk, or just a good scratch behind the ears. Before work, after work, and throughout the weekends, my schedule is wide open for longer adventures and dedicated playtime. Safety and open communication are my top priorities. When I am visiting or staying at a client's house, my goal is to keep the pet's routine as normal as possible so they feel secure. I always double check that doors, gates, and harnesses are completely secure before and after walks. I am highly respectful of the client's space and make sure to leave the home exactly as I found it. Because my daily schedule is very flexible, I can easily adapt to specific feeding routines or supervision needs. I also love sending plenty of photo updates so owners always have peace of mind!
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and grew up in a family that had more pets than people! Over the years, I’ve cared for cats, dogs, parakeets, fish, turtles, hamsters, guinea pigs, and more! I regularly pet sit for neighbors and friends. I’m committed to providing reliable, loving care for all animals! I work part time so I have plenty of time to play with your animal! I'm available on weekends and can dedicate plenty of time to walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I treat every home with respect and every pet as if they were my own, making sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and supervision!
About: I grew up with dogs and cats and love all animals. I’m taking a professional break and would love to take care of your pets. I’m currently taking a professional break from my career and will be available for walks and visits most weekdays when I’m not traveling or taking care of my own dog. I have a fenced in backyard where my own 80-lb doodle loves to play. I have one indoor cat who roams our home freely. I can welcome dogs into our home for daycare who are comfortable with a playmate.
“Carole is amazing with my dog. She worked to get my front door open and eventually was able to get in through the garage to get my boy out! She stayed a bit extra to ensure he got his bathroom and walk break in. Thanks!”

“Shi Ming / Frankie did a great job hosting my dog, Hopper. Hopper loves Jealous, Frankie’s Bernese Mountain Dog pup, who is as gentle a playmate and companion. And they have a great yard and basement to play in. Also. Frankie was able to be flexible and cared for Hopper an extra day when my return flight was unexpectedly delayed by six hours. When I need someone to care for Hopper again, I’m definitely contacting Frankie and Jealous again.”

“This was Amber's second stay with Carla and her family and it was another fantastic stay. She absolutely adores this family. She is so well treated and loved. She gets lots of walks. We feel fortunate to have found Carla. She loves dogs and treats them like members of the family.”
“Highly recommend! John took such good care of our dog Bandit while we were away. Even with the cold temperatures I knew he was taken out for walks multiple times and dressed accordingly. John updated me daily with photos and information about Bandits day. I knew he was spoiled and loved on the entire 9 days we were away. I also appreciated the fact that Bandit had company all day, everyday.”
“Candice was an excellent sitter for Ahsoka. They took to each other immediately and she sent me plenty of pictures. Ahsoka was very loved and I look forward to hiring Candice again.”
“Aly was great at communicating. She sent a picture every day and responded to mr message right away. Definitely glad I found her. Thank you for taking a great care of Mocha”
“Kiran has been amazing with my dog Gus! Have never had any issues and he makes sure to send daily updates. He’s also been great with caring for Gus, who is older and has arthritis, and I never worry about Gus while he’s staying with Kiran. He’s a great person to watch and care for your dog!”
“I'm so glad I found Amethyst ☺️ she was wonderful with my dog Q. She sent me regular photos of Q (I don't know how she made my dog sit still and be such a good model for photos haha but she managed well!) and updates and always made sure his needs were met. And she was also very flexible and accommodating about last minute changes I had to do cause another sitter canceled. But it's all good, since I was able to book with Amethyst ☺️ My Q had a really great time with her! Thank you! 10/10 recommended her 👌”
“I am so thankful to have found Byamba on Rover! At the last minute, the dog sitter we had lined up for nine days didn’t work out. I reached out to Byamba to see if he could care for my Aussie shepherd and my sister-in-law’s dog, and within moments I received a response that he’d be delighted to take care of them. My husband and I do not like being away from our Aussie, and Byamba went above and beyond to send daily photos and updates which gave us peace of mind that we had chosen the right care-giver. It was a great comfort knowing that both pooches were with a kind, loving family. We will definitely reach out to Byamba the next time we need a sitter. Thank you, Byamba and family!”
“We had another great stary with Heather! My dog loves going to her house and playing with her dog and it's nice knowing she's safe and having fun. Will definitely use 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!”
“Our dog has the best time going to Jennifer's house when we go out of town for the weekend. As soon as we pull up to her driveway he immediately knows where he is and gets so excited to go inside and play with her dog. You can tell her and her family are so warm with their pets. We feel good leaving our dog there knowing he is in great hands having the best time. Jennifer always is great about providing daily communication and pictures. We would recommend her to anyone looking for care for their pup”
“Suzi was so great with our 16 year old, senior pup. We were nervous at first since we don’t often have others watch Roxy. Suzi was very patient with her and gave us regular updates and pictures, which we really enjoyed and appreciated. She even went out of her way to purchase additional wet food for Roxy (we sent her with wet and dry). We know Roxy enjoyed herself. Would highly recommend!”
“Michelle and her family took wonderful care of our dog GInger for a week and a half. Michelle regularly sent photos and updates so that I knew that Ginger was doing well. When we picked her up, it was obvious that Ginger was happy and had really enjoyed her time with Michelle and her family. We will definitely rebook next time we're going out of town.”
“With a senior dog, we do get nervous about leaving mango new places. I would say within five minutes of the meet and greet it was clear that Shanilka and her husband would be taking great care of him. They asked all the right questions and during our stay sent regular updates to make sure we knew he was in good hands. Would definitely use again!”
