“Kayla was very comforting for my dog Koda. He is shy and has had issues with othere Kennel type firms in the past. She worked out great. Very happy and will continue to book future visits”
“Sheri and Bill were wonderful with Annie and Freddie. They sent me wonderful pictures and videos of their time together and spoiled my fur babies. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing my dogs were safe and being treated like a member of their family. I highly recommend them for the care of your furry family member and will definitely be using them again.”
“Aarika was absolutely amazing!! She was flexible and communicative through our entire last-minute planning process. She sent daily progress updates and photos of our sweet boy smiling and having so much fun (and getting lots of pats, which he loves!!) We will absolutely be booking with Aarika again! :)”
“Craig was a fantastic dog sitter for our lively 8 yr old Corgi. Communication was quick, he sent us plenty of photos and overall a 10/10 experience. Will definitely use Craig again.”
“This was Derek’s second stay with Jeehyun and her family, and once again they took such great care of him. It’s clear he was very loved while we were away, which means so much to us. Their family is so kind, attentive, and treats Derek like part of the family. We really appreciate how thoughtful and caring they are and it gives us total peace of mind knowing he’s in such good hands. We’re so grateful to have found them and would absolutely recommend Jeehyun and family again and again! Derek can’t wait for his next stay. 🐶”
“April was awesome! Pinky had a great time and we got pictures and videos. It was our first time leaving her with a sitter and we were nervous, but we’re put at ease as soon as we arrived. And Pinky is now crate trained!! If we are ever in the area again, we would board with April!”
“Britt and her husband Damon were just amazing. Very considerate and kept us continually informed how our dog was doing. She asked all kind of questions to make sure she did the best by our dog. They were just outstanding.”
“From the start, Kathy treated our little pom like her own and sent us lots of updates and pics. Being the only pup in her care allowed our Leila to settle in quickly with little or no anxiety which was important to us. We explained Leila has health issues and would need meds at specific times. This Kathy took in stride having had past dealings with pet illnesses. Still, she listened and asked questions about what issues Leila was experiencing, the meds she needed and when/how to administer. We left for our trip knowing our pup would receive outstanding care. We're almost certain Leila was not ready to come home with us from her vacation. She was treated like a princess!!! Kathy is absolutely amazing. My husband and I highly recommend her.”
“My dogs had a great time! One of our dogs has major stranger danger and Rachael was an expert at acclimating her to her home and handled her with ease. All dogs had a great time!”
“Lana was great; very responsive and helpful. She was also very understanding when are arrival got delayed. If we need help again, I would book her especially since our dogs got along so well.”
“Michelle and her daughter were the best 2nd family for my poodle Jackson during a two week stay!!! He was very happy to be there from our meet and great visit all the way to the end!!!! I received daily updates and pics, and he had lots and lots of snuggles!!! Jackson will be visiting then again and again!!!!!”
“5 stars isn’t enough for Monica. She provided an wonderful Fourth of July holiday safe space when I could not. We will absolutely look forward to seeing you again for boarding in the future!”
“My dog, Josie, spent her first "vacation" with Art and his family after we first met him and then Josie had a trial overnight experience. By the time she stayed for real, Josie felt very much at home and she had a great experience with walks each day, permission to sit on the couch and lots of petting. Art shared a few photos and updates with me while we were gone; needless to say, we never worried about her. Josie will definitely stay with Art again (if he's available!). Thanks again for taking such good care of our family member!”
“Hayley was such a life saver. She took the best care of my 2 pups when we had to fly out and kept us updated :). She was also so flexible with the timing :) definitely recommend!”
“We are beyond grateful for Jill and Aaron for taking such amazing care of our dog Milo. From the moment we met them, we could tell how kind, patient, and genuinely loving they are with dogs. They made us feel completely at ease leaving Milo in their care. Throughout his stay, they kept us updated with sweet messages and photos, which meant so much to us. It was so comforting to see how happy and relaxed Milo was with them. They truly treated him like part of their family. Milo seemed content and that says everything. We can’t thank Jill and Aaron enough for their care, attention, and love. We would absolutely trust them with Milo again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional sitters. 💛”
“Thank you, Liudmila, for taking care of our sweet puppy. She had a wonderful time with you and your family and came home such a happy, calm girl! I really appreciate all the love and care you gave her!”

About: Being a professional dog trainer, I have experience handling dogs of all temperments. My training background also helps me understand cat behavior and body language. I also have experience with a variety of reptiles, fish, and amphibians. I provide safe, structured care tailored to your pet's needs, helping reinforce good habits and reduce stress while you are away. I am available Monday through Friday to do 1 to 3 drop-ins a day. Each drop-in will be 30-minutes long to ensure your pet's needs are met. During a 30-minute drop-in visit, I'll provide fresh water, food (if needed), a potty break or short walk, playtime, and basic enrichment to keep your dog happy and stimulated. I'll also check for any signs of stress or discomfort and send you a quick update with photos. Every visit is tailored to your pet's routine and needs.
“Michael did an excellent job looking after our cats. He made sure to get a picture of at least one of them every visit. There was some issues with his schedule that came up and he did his best to communicate with us even though there was an 8 hour time difference between us. We appreciate everything that Michael did for us during such a long vacation.”
“Emily watched over my 4 month old pup, who can have a lot of energy at times. She was very communicative and professional. She was very accommodating to my dog’s needs and he was well taken care of. I’d highly recommend Emily to watch your pup :).”
“Jordan took incredible care of our two cats while we were out of town! Jordan went above and beyond for us and sent us sweet pictures every drop-in! We definitely will use Jordan again in the future!”
“We've had Dasha come out to take care of our dog, Noodle, and we just had her check on our cat while we were gone. She was amazing, as always. We are so lucky to have found her!”
“About 1-1/2 months ago, we brought in a stray cat who was very scared of everything. Unfortunately, we had previously planned a 10 day trip and so were concerned as to what to do about our new cat, Percy. We searched online and discovered Rover. Bridgette, who does pet sitting through Rover, agreed to be at our home over the 10 day period when we would be gone. We are grateful that Bridgette was able to stay 24 hours a day as Percy was just too new to be left alone for long periods of time. We were delighted with the work she did for us. She was very responsible and we felt comfortable leaving her in charge of our home and Percy. Bridgette is very sweet and soft-spoken which was perfect for our anxious cat. He was very wary of her and hid away for much of the time, but Bridgette continued to care for his needs, plus her presence in our home must have given him a sense of companionship. Percy was starting to warm up to her and we are confident Bridgette will win him over as we definitely plan to use her in the future. We highly recommend Bridgette and Rover.”
“Kiley was great for out drop in visits with our cat while we were away. She was easy to communicate with, and made sure that she gave our cat lots of attention while she was there.”
“Naomi takes the BEST care of our fur babies. We are so lucky to have someone like her to look after our kitties when we are out of town. Our fur babies genuinely adore her!!”
About: I’ve had cats for around 5 years and around for 7+. I’ve cared kittens and older cats, including supervision of kitten litters. I understand that every cat has a different personality, and routines are very important to them, however, cats are so much fun to get to know and be around!
“Donna communicated well and took great care of the cats! They looked happy, and healthy and I got lots of photos and updates during the trip! Would use her again”
About: I grew up on a farm with 2 labs and have always had a special love for the canine friends. Since I’ve moved to the city I’ve missed my dogs and taking them on walks so I thought I’d sign up for this and meet some dog friends that need some company, I love all types of breeds and sizes. High energy dogs are not a problem for me at all, as I love going on runs with dogs and also playing at the park. I work a couple blocks away from where I live so it wouldn’t be a problem for me to watch your dogs while at work, since I could pop in to check on them and feed/let them use the bathroom. Thank you for looking, -Jacob I work flexible hours so I can work around any pet schedules I’m usually home till 12, and come back for lunch around 3 and then get off work usually 6-8pm but I set my own hours so it’s flexible for your dogs needs (: I have a house within walking distance to the park, I can take your dog on 2-3 walks per day and can also crate the dog if needed. I work close to home so I will always be 10-15 mins away and can pop in and check on the animals I set up to 3 times in a single workday before arriving home for the night. I have a little backyard area that is fenced off and also a park 4 blocks south of me, inside my apartment is all dog friendly and they are allowed on the furniture/beds
“Natasha has been by far and large one of the best pet sitters I have ever had the pleasure of working with! She was so fantastic with my cat and very communicative through the whole process!”
About: Growing up on a hobby farm I've always owned cats, my family had 8 and I had 2 of my own. I've been taking care of cats of various ages since I was 10. My skills with cats include but aren't limited to observing body language, working with feral cats from the spot program, giving meds/shots and training. My cat is trained to sit and harness trained.

“This was my pup’s first time being boarded, and I know he was having a blast with Nicole updating me on his activities and socialization. I highly recommend and will use Nicole in the future!”
“Krysten is the best! We feel so safe leaving our Lucy with her. Krysten is very prompt, extremely responsive, and very friendly. We've used her to walk and board Lucy over the last few months and have no complaints.”
“Our dog was happy when we dropped her off, showing that she had good memories from her past stay. She was relaxed, tired but happy when we picked her up, so had plenty of play time outside. She has separation anxiety and some insecurities, so it was great to see how comfortable she is there. Very happy with the daycare.”
“Rachael was so flexible and easy to work with! Quick drop off and pick up. My pup was scared the first day, but after day 2 was excited to go play with her new friends at Rachael’s. I was only visiting the area, but very thankful for her help with keeping Bonnie busy while I was working! I will definitely be reaching out if I’m ever in the area again :)”
“Wonderful sitters. They really worked at understanding and respecting Deja's sweet and spicy personality. Deja had a great time and I felt very comfortable leaving her in their care.”
“Samantha and her family were great! Very welcoming and accommodating to my older dog quirks. The puppy really enjoyed playing with her friendly dog and it was a great socializing experience for him. I will definitely use her services again and recommend her without hesitation.”
“Tally had a wonderful daycare/trial experience with Monica, and I loved getting updates throughout the day. She was in no hurry to leave after a day of walkies, exploring, playing with the hose, and sunbathing. At first I was a little nervous about having to find a stranger to board my dog with (especially a almost 13 year old terrier) but those worries were quickly put to ease. Tally had a great time at Monica’s and I’m sure she’s going to see her boarding in august as her own little doggy vacation.”
“Great family taking greatest care of our doggy. This place is the only place that our baby dog shows the most excitements to stay. If you are looking for a safe place with a trust-able family, try Mita and Bhushan, you won;t get disappointed.”
“Angela and her family have been wonderful and communicative during Charlie’s first week of daycare. As it generally takes Charlie some time to settle into a new routine, this has been the smoothest transition I have had. 100% recommend Angela for daycare or pet sitting needs.”
“Anita was absolutely wonderful with my puppy, Sky. He had an amazing time with her. She was very attentive and consistently sent frequent updates, including details about his meals and walks, which I really appreciated. It gave me complete peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. Highly recommend!”
“I know that my beloved Sophie is in good hands. Amber and Barb showed such care and consideration for my senior dog. There aren’t enough superlatives to express what a great initial experience I had leaving my dog in their care.”
“Stephanie is so welcoming and took great care of Bambi. She sent photos throughout the day. Highly recommend her!!! Bambi loves playing with all the other dogs and has such a great time!”
“Goose had a GREAT time with Elena and Klemheist. He came home a happy and sleepy puppy. Elena helped me out last minute after my previous sitter had to cancel and I could not be more thankful. I’ll definitely be using Elena next time I need doggy daycare or boarding for Goose.”
“Teddy's first experience at Doggy Daycare with Annalyn, her kiddos and new best buds, Charlie and Wilson couldn't have gone better. He got a lot of TLC, snuggles, walks and attention. Teddy is looking forward to his next playdate with Da Boyz!”

“Natasha is one of the best sitters I found on Rover. She’s so attentive to my pup and communicates so effectively- I look forward to her walks because I end up feeling like I’m right there with her on the walks. Great photos and lots of info!”
“Naomi is the only person we’ve used with rover and we can’t imagine anyone else could be better! Our puppy loves Naomi! She is communicative, punctual, and trustworthy. I’d give her ten stars if I could!”
About: I have taken care of just about every type of animal since I was young (dogs, cats, horses, birds, fish, hedgehogs, gerbils, snakes, etc.) I've trained and raised several puppies and kittens. The majority of the animals in my life were adult animals and if they were family pets, they stayed with us until it was time to cross the rainbow bridge so I also have a fair amount of experience with senior care as well. I grew up with no less than 4 animals in the house at all times, so I'm very good with multiple-pet households, but I currently live in a household with only one dog, so I am also comfortable doting on just one at a time :) I am currently available 24/7 and this is my primary career! I am happy to care for your fuzzy friends and family any time of day or night, their set schedule becomes my own! :3 I really believe every pet is different and taking into account their personality, energy, as well as their history or needs is very important. I like to give pets loads of attention if they are the type that likes attention, or I'm happy to just sit and read a book with them if they are more the sleepy type. I don't believe in leaving dogs in yards unattended, and I am a very communicative person-- I am not afraid to ask questions or clarify things I may not be sure of.
About: I have had 20 years of one on one care of numerous different dogs and breeds. I have trained puppies and have done hospice care for my senior dogs. My love for dogs runs deeper than words can express. I have administrated medication in abundance of creative ways to administer. Walks and exercise is so important for the health of dogs and humans alike. It only takes about 5 minutes of time for dogs to get comfortable with me. They instantly feel the warmth, love, comfort and safety I am able to create, from years of knowing how to get to know them. I love exploring and hiking and I always love to have company that has four legs. I love to sleep with snuggle bears. If that is not something that is preferred I have had crated dogs and am comfortable not sleeping with them too. I welcome and respect your ways of caring for your pet and look forward to making your time away as comfortable and confident as possible. I am fortunate to have schedule flexibility. It is a pleasure to work with my client’s humans’ in advance in order to be prepared and meet their needs and expectations. I am able to come care for your pet where you are. I have limited space at my home. I can take care of their needs in the comfort of their known environment
“Alright... where to begin! Brian did a wonderful meet and greet with my boys (two newfoundlands) and walked them today without me..that may seem like a strange thing to say but Byron (my younger boy) refuses to go on a walk for anyone but me - not even my husband! He was perfectly fine on going on the walk with Sinjin (my older boy) and Brian. No temper tantrums, no refusal to walk. NONE of it. Brian took them on a good walk, they had fun and their were no problems.”
About: I have been taking care of pups since I was 6 years old. I started my own dog walking business in middle school and have been working with WAG! For the last 6 years. I am experienced in giving medications including shots. I am currently open availability due to being an Independent contractor. I am available from early morning to late nights. No specific times are blocked off and I will communicate ahead of time if unavailable. I always ask what owners would like/prefer when going to their homes that way their fur baby is not having to switch anything or go out of their comfort. I will always try and accommodate and make a fur baby feel like home in my home.
“I want to thank Jordan for looking after my two dogs. She was so sweet and helpful. I loved that she was constantly updating about the dogs, and sending pictures and she took the time to play with them, fed them and took them for a walk. She was very patient with the dogs. Sanji and Robin are very playful since they’re about a year old. Honestly, after an unexpected long day at work it was great to know my dogs were im good hands. Thank you for asking about taking your shoes off inside the apartment it was very thoughtful and thank you for following all the instructions for the dogs”
“Adam helped walk Koa our female rottie while we were on vacation for 12 days. He was dependable and very polite. He has a unique combination of leadership and a gentle spirit that made him a great fit for out girl. I highly recommend him.”
About: Animals have always been a central part of my life. I grew up in a home full of pets like cats, dogs, fish, and birds. I developed a deep love and understanding of animals of all kinds.

I’m here to provide the same level of care and love they receive at home because they deserve nothing less. Outside of my work times, I have open availability to focus fully on your pets giving them the time, attention, and care they deserve. Whether it’s a midday walk or regular drop in's, I’m here to help make your life easier and your pets’ days brighter. While I’m unable to host pets in my home due to limited space, I’m happy to care for them in the comfort of yours. I’ll ensure your pets are well fed, have fresh water, and maintain clean litter boxes or enclosures. For dogs, I offer walks, playtime, and park visits plenty of fun and exercise! If your pup is friendly, they can even enjoy supervised play with my own dog for extra socialization.

Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities, and I treat every home and animal with the same care and respect I give my own.
