“Lisa watched our 13 year old Yorkie for 8 days when we went to the Bahamas! We love Lisa and knew our Zoey was is good hands. Lisa sent us updates and amazing pictures every day. Lisa goes above and beyond with love and care. It was so comforting to know we could relax and not worry about Zoey. We would highly recommend Lisa!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Romy! She took excellent care of Uni and gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We received regular updates, photos, and could tell our dog was happy, comfortable, and well loved. Romy was reliable, communicative, flexible and treated our dog like her own. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring sitter.”
“Xiaomeng was amazing sitter for my dog. Super flexible and understanding the situation. Most of all, she is truly enjoying spending time with dogs. Loving and trustworthy animal lover. Highly recommended!”
“Heather took excellent care of my dog. I appreciated her responsiveness to communicating logistics and the updates she shared while caring for my dog. I would absolutely recommend her.”
“Once you leave your pup with Ketaki, you’ll instantly wish she were available for all your future trips. She showers your dog with genuine love and care, treating them like her own. Her communication is clear and reassuring throughout. Coco, her sweet and gentle pup, was the perfect companion, and our Tofu had the absolute best time during her 6-day stay with Ketaki.”
“I was very nervous leaving our elderly dog while we went away, but she was well cared for and had a great time with Sarah and her dog. I wouldn’t hestitate to use her again! Its so nice to have piece of mind while traveling.”
“I can count the number of people our skittish dog allows to take his harness on/off on one hand. Somehow Liz has become one, and in record time! She is wonderful with anxious dogs! Can’t recommend her highly enough!”
“Our dogs really enjoyed their time with Debbi and her family. Debbi was so loving and caring for our fur babies! In fact, we have already scheduled the next visit!”
“Fiona does a great job with our pup! She is very responsive and our pup comes home happy and tired. We have asked Fiona to watch our pup a few times and we trust our pup with her. Highly recommend Fiona!”
“Lena took great care of my dog Taffy! She sent me updates daily, and through the photos and videos, I see that Taffy was so happy and felt at home when she stayed with Lena.”
“Sunmee, Patrick and their son took great care of little Oscar like one of their own. I really appreciated the photos and videos multiple times a day. They have a great house with large backyard for Oscar to run around with their dog, Winter. Thank you!”
“My 14 year old corgi needed something a little more calm and quiet than the boarding kennel and this was the perfect fit. She is still very physically active and likes a good walk and some playtime but was able to spend the better part of her days comfortably snoozing and watching over people while they worked. She doesnt handle stairs very well anymore and hates being carried so i was happy this apartment had an elevator and ramps.”
“Hyeyoung and her family took great care of George! She sent great updates each day about George. Her photos are amazing! She made George look like a vogue doggy. I will 100% be rebooking with her!”
“Sreymom is an amazing dog sitter! She is incredibly kind, and it’s clear she genuinely loves dogs. She always sends me plenty of photos of Einstein, whether he’s playing with toys, socializing with other furry friends, or enjoying long walks. He always looks so happy in every picture! My friend even mentioned that Einstein was reluctant to leave Sreymom’s house when she picked him up. I’m so grateful to have found someone we trust, so both we and our pup can enjoy a worry-free vacation. Highly recommend Sreymom!”
“This was our first time boarding our dog with Shon. Super smooth with site visit, going over the process/rules and our dog Mina had a enjoyable boarding with Shon. She was well taken care of, and Shon was very prompt with communication. Will definitely repeat!”
“Amazing family! They took in both my cats for 2 weeks and maintained all the instructions provided. My cats enjoyed staying with the family (especially the kids). Natalia was very fast to respond to my texts and provided updates everyday.”
“This is our second time boarding Bella here, and we couldn’t be happier. Zheng is very patient and thoughtful, providing multiple updates every day about Bella’s eating, potty breaks, and overall well-being. If there’s ever any issue, Zheng reaches out right away. We truly appreciate the care and attention—Bella is always in good hands, and it gives us great peace of mind.”
“Sharon took excellent care of Ollie. She learnt about his care needs very quickly and successfully administered his meds just as I had requested. She shared photos and videos throughout the stay. Her notes about Ollie's activities were so endearing. She and her family are so friendly and welcoming. It felt like Ollie was in the care of a family member. Thanks again Sharon! Please count us in for re-books:)”
“Jupiter had an amazing time with Leena, her family and and their dog Simba! It was nice having frequent updates and knowing Jupiter and a good friend to keep him occupied while I was away. Would totally recommend!”
“Laura did a great job with our dog (who's quite timid). We had been worried it would be overwhelming for our sweet girl, but Laura helped ensure our pup was happy. Laura also gave our dog some solo playtime, which was very much appreciated. Loved getting pics too! Thank you Laura & Nova.”

“Zheng Z. was amazing with my cat Simba! She quickly made friends with him and did a great job handling everything—from cleaning his bowls and litter to giving him treats. She even left Simba a sweet little gift at the end of the stay. Moreover she helped take care of some letters while I was away. I really appreciated her thoughtfulness and she is highly trustworthy. Highly recommend!”
“I left my cat Cloudy with their care for almost two weeks and it couldn't have gone better! They helped me unload and load all of her things, kept me updated with regular pictures and messages throughout her stay, and truly made her feel welcome. As someone with a lot of anxiety about leaving my cat, the constant communication was such a relief. I’ll absolutely be booking again!”
“Nataliia was the sweetest hostess and made our cat feel at home. She sent regular updates and loved our cat like it was her own. We would love to have her watch him again in the near future! Would recommend her to anyone looking for a loving stay for their pet :)”
“Alex went above and beyond and took great care of our kitties. I really appreciated the pictures showing that they were first a little shy with her and then very happy to see her at each visit. Great feedback about them and it made it so much easier to enjoy our vacation. Definitely recommend!”
“Zubia was wonderful and would use her again. This was our first time using Rover and she made us and our fur babies feel at ease. I used her boarding and drop in services for my cat and dog and she exceed all expectations. Our animals loved her!”

“Paola is fantastic! Don't waste your time, just book her. We'll be reaching out to her any & every time we need to in the future. SO satisfied with her service! Thank you Paola. Mya (our cat) appreciated it. I think she barely knew we were gone. 😁❤️”

“Viktoriia was wonderful with my two cats! She came everyday to our house, played with then, fed them, cleaned their litter box and refreshed their water bowls. I came back to two happy, well-cared-for kitties! The house was also very clean. We got great pictures and updates daily. I would definitely use Viktoriia's services again, and recommend her to anyone!”
“Thank you, Rebecca. You are the best Rove I ever had! You made me very relieved when I am am. Mach appreciate! I will always choose Rebecca in the future! My kitty like her sooooo much!”
“Alice was very responsive and always responded fast and she gave very good detailed updates daily. She cleaned up super well and always vacuumed and cleaned the litter or cleaned up after hairballs. I definitely recommend her and would hire her again!”
About: I’ve grown up with cats my entire life, I know exactly what they need and what they don’t need. Whether they’re playful, shy, or not in a good mood, I know how to assess the situation and how to handle with care. I have my own cat that I’ve had for 4 years. I am confident in cleaning, feeding, and giving them the enrichment and fun activities they need to be happy. I’ve also worked at a pet store before and am very knowledgeable about food products and cat behavior.
“Irina was absolutely amazing with my cat, Velvet. She is kind, caring, reliable, and truly goes above and beyond. She played with Velvet, sent lots of wonderful pictures, and kept me updated, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Velvet really likes her, and I can tell he feels comfortable and happy with her. She made sure Velvet had everything he needed, and I came home knowing he had been very well taken care of. I’m so grateful for her help and would absolutely book with her again. I highly recommend Irina to anyone looking for someone amazing and trustworthy to care for their cat!”
“This was Brittney's second time sitting for our cat Ace. She has great communication, follows through as planned and gives our cat the highest level of affection and attention he needs!”

“Ketaki was wonderful with our 10-month-old Labradoodle, Emmy! She treated her like her own — keeping her active, well-fed, and on a consistent schedule — and sent frequent photo/video updates that gave me real peace of mind as a first-time dog mom. Emmy stayed with Ketaki and her dog Coco for a week and came home happy and relaxed. I would absolutely trust Ketaki again and highly recommend her to anyone — I can already tell Emmy is excited for her next stay!”
“Pathum was great with Thor. So attentive and caring. Appreciated the pics and videos he sent of him throughout his stay. Looking forward for Thor’s next daycare with Pathum and their cute pupper Archie!”
“We love Sreymom and Akina! Sreymom is a thoughtful, calm person and dog whisperer. Her home is completely dog friendly. My guys instantly warmed up to her. One of my boys has severe separation anxiety and needs a loving human around. The other is a playful, social butterfly. Akina welcomed them both and they instantly packed up. She calmed the one and played with the other. Despite it being their first visit, both boys were happy and relaxed when I picked them up. They’ve already asked when they can go see Akina and Sreymom again! Thank you and we’ll be back soon!”
“Ya-Han was amazing with Snowy! I loved receiving regular updates and adorable pictures, which reassured me that Snowy was having a fantastic time. It’s clear that Ya-Han genuinely cares for the pets she looks after. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet daycare provider, and I’m looking forward to booking with her again!”
About: I've take care of dogs of since I was 13. My kids and me always take care of dogs from friends and neighbors. It is type of our hobby I am staying home during day time. My kids love to take care of dogs and we all love dogs. When kids go to school I am going to stay with dog at home. Walking neighborhood, dog walk. We have fully fenced back yard. We live in a 1 st floor rambler house. Hardfloor house type so its easy to clean if dog make mistake.
“Joy had her first day care visit with Steve, and it was great! He was super kind and gentle with her, and kept us updated with pics and messages throughout the day. Communication was easy, and we really appreciated how thoughtful he was. Joy will definitely be back!”
“Tatiana was really communicative about how Lola was doing during her visit which game me a peace of mind while I was away. She and her dogs are so friendly and sweet. I would highly recommend her.”
About: We had a family dog for 15 years. She recently passed and our home is too quiet. We’d love to spend some time with your pup. I work from home, so I’m available during the day. We love to take family walks around the neighborhood so your pup will get lots of exercise. We have a completely fenced in yard for lots of time outside. We have a 5 year old daughter, so your dog would have to be comfortable with kids.
“Gus had a great time with Ricquel and the daycare dog pack :) I appreciated Ricquel taking the time to answer all my questions and to meet up to see where pup would be staying and who he’d be playing with prior to attending her daycare. I felt at complete ease knowing of and seeing firsthand her experience play out with the dogs. I loved all the updates throughout the day! Gus was well socialized (safely) with large and small dogs, exercised, and loved on by Ricquel and her son. I’m thankful to have finally found a great regular daycare for Gus :) Thanks, Ricquel!”
“We had a fantastic experience with Jenny and Daniel! They were incredibly kind, communicative, and caring. The photos and updates they sent gave us great peace of mind and showed how much fun our pet was having. We can’t wait to book with them again for future daycare and boarding!”
About: I have taken care of dogs & cats since I was 16. I had my own 8 dogs and 6 cats of my own. I love fur babies. I m a home maker, full time mom of my 2yr old baby. Now my baby is little big and understands, I want him to grow along pets and have same love and compassion for fur babies. I live in an apartment where a lot of people have pets. It’s a pet friendly community. And we have a lot of space out to go on a walk too.
About: Constant Companionship & Peace of Mind As a full-time remote professional (WFH), your pet will never feel lonely at my home. I am here 24/7 to provide constant supervision, frequent potty breaks, and, most importantly, all the cuddles they deserve. Unlike sitters who work out of the home, I can adapt my schedule entirely to your pet’s routine, ensuring they feel safe and settled. Expertise in Specialized Care What truly sets me apart is my experience with high-need pets. I personally raised one of my resident cats from just 2 weeks old—a journey that required immense patience, around-the-clock bottle feeding, and meticulous care. This experience has made me exceptionally attentive to subtle changes in a pet's mood or health, making me a great fit for puppies, seniors, or pets who need a little extra TLC. Lifelong Small Breed Lover Before becoming a cat mom to my two sweet residents, I grew up with a Teddy Dog and a Yorkshire Terrier. I understand the spirited personalities and specific safety needs of small breeds. Living in a cozy townhouse, I specialize in creating a calm, indoor sanctuary supplemented by quality morning and evening walks to keep them active and happy. A Natural Connection I’ve been called an "animal magnet" since I was a child. I believe in patient, positive reinforcement and respect each pet's unique boundaries. Your furry family member will be treated exactly like my own—with unconditional love and professional responsibility. Full-Time Care & Attention As a dedicated pet parent to two cats, my life already revolves around animal care. My WFH status allows me to offer constant supervision and a flexible schedule tailored to your pet's needs. Since I live in a townhouse without a yard, I prioritize quality outdoor time with dedicated morning and evening walks. During the work day, your pet will enjoy a calm, climate-controlled environment with me right by their side. Whether they need a quick play session between my meetings or a quiet spot to nap, I am here to ensure they are happy and comfortable 24/7. Every pet has a unique personality and set of needs. My first priority is to mirror the routine they are used to at home to minimize stress. Whether it’s a specific feeding time, a favorite toy, or a particular way they like to be scratched, I follow your instructions to the letter. When Staying in My Home (Boarding/Daycare): Constant Supervision: Since I work from home, your pet will be in the same room as me most of the day. They will have full access to a comfortable, climate-controlled environment. Safety & Integration: With two resident cats, I am an expert at slow, safe introductions. If your pet prefers their own space, my townhouse allows for easy separation to ensure everyone feels secure and relaxed. Active Outdoors: Since I don't have a yard, I prioritize quality time outside. We will go on at least two dedicated walks (morning and evening) and frequent quick potty breaks to keep them stimulated and happy. Cat-Specific Care: For cat guests, I provide meticulous litter box maintenance and plenty of interactive play with wand toys and feathers. When Visiting Your Home (Drop-ins/House Sitting): Home Security & Tidiness: I treat your home with the utmost respect. I ensure all doors are locked, mail is brought in if needed, and the space remains exactly as you left it. Quality One-on-One Time: I don’t just "fill the bowl." I spend the entire duration of the visit engaging with your pet, providing companionship, and making sure they feel loved while you're away. Detailed Updates: I am a big communicator! You can expect frequent photo and video updates of our adventures, so you never have to wonder how your best friend is doing.
“Hyeyoung K. was absolutely wonderful! She is so sweet and made our pups feel right at home! This was a new experience for Remi and Ruger. Hyeyoung K. was so pleasant and easy to talk to, which gave us peace of mind leaving them with her for the day. She also sent many adorable photos, videos and updates of our pups, which we loved and appreciated! In addition, she was very flexible and accomodating in regards to drop off and pickup, which was helpful. Her pup, Happy, is also sweet and enjoyed having a playdate. We highly recommend her and her family if you need someone to watch over your furry friends.”
“Joyce was calm, caring, communicative, flexible, and made my pup feel like part of the family. I was provided updates and photos, and Dublin really welcomed my dog during his time. The space is clean and large and plenty of engagement and attention is given. I will be using Joyce's services again!”
About: I grew up taking care of my Lhasa Apso. I used to dog sit for my employer who had a minature Shih Tzu. I would take her everywhere with me. I had a Dachshund in my 30’s. I recently was a dog sitter for a friend who has a Terrier. Dogs make me happy. I was thinking of adopting one but decided to join Rover for now. I currently work from home remote, so I have tons of flexibility to take care of a dog. I would take them outside for many walks during the day. I live in an apt with a balcony, so the dog would have free range. I would take them for walks in my area where there is a ton of grassy areas & a walking path. I’m also near parks.
“Wiley had a great time with Jam. He can home exhausted from all the playtime. Jam kept me updated with pictures. She was very accommodating when our event ran later than expected. Would use her again in the future.”
“William was so great with my shih Tzu Giuseppe. G is very particular and set in his ways and William was flexible and accommodating and helped G feel right at home. Such a relief for me during a really busy time at work. Will definitely book with him again!”

“Thank you so much for taking whiskey out! The communication and pictures were incredible for my anxiety and leaving my dog with someone new for the first time! I really appreciated all the real in time updates, quick responses, and overall care. They are a super reliable team that care deeply for your animals so couldn’t recommend enough!”
“Allison shows up on time, always sends photos, plays ball with my dog in addition to walking her, and my dog appears quite happy in the photos! I recommend her!”
“Christine was great with our dog Pippa. She asked us for detailed care instructions before the walk, and took some really pretty photos of her next to Spring blooms! We will be using her again.”
About: I have taken care of multiple dogs my whole life and have had many different animals like cats, chickens, bunnies, birds, and even a chameleon. I know what it means to have your animal taken care of, loved, protected, walked, and respected. I am available to go on walks every weekday, usually between 2-4pm, and at any time in the evenings and weekends. If needed, I can also provide walks on weekday mornings before 8am. At your home, I can make sure that I have all of the information that I need so that I can properly take care of the pets and give them lots of time to play.

“Debbi is the best! Our old dogs love her: she spends lots of time giving them affection and letting them take it slow and enjoy their sniff-walks. Debbi is super reliable, responsive and responsible: just an all-around wonderful person. We’re so happy to have her walking our little old dogs!”

About: I do not know what a home is without a pet! I have always had at least one pet in my household since I was born. Currently, I have a miniature Australian shepherd that I raised and trained from a puppy. Additionally, I have a college degree in Animal Science and previously worked in the veterinary field for 4 years. I have experience with all sorts of dogs and cats but also livestock and exotics. I have worked with everything from newborn puppies to chickens to primates. I am extremely passionate about training as well as making sure pets have the mental and physical enrichment they deserve. I am currently working hybrid so my availability is mostly weekends and before/after work visits but I have the flexibility to work with you. I am joined Rover because I just love animals and it really feels like a hobby to get to meet new pets rather than a job. I have a small fenced in backyard and a miniature Australian shepherd to keep your pet company. If your pet is more solitary; Theo is more than happy to give them their space and we can provide a gated separate area for your pet. In your house, things are done your way. I prefer detailed instructions so that your home is exactly how you would like it when you come back. Additionally, allowing me to follow your set routine ensures your pet is as happy as can be when you come home. No request is too weird for your fur-baby! My own pet has lots of quirks and weird routines so do not hesitate to reach out with a special request!
“Amanda is the best! We love her and more importantly, Mack (our dog) loves her! She is great with communication, always goes above and beyond, and we are so thankful for her! Thanks for everything Amanda!”
About: I have always had a special ability to connect with animals; my partner calls me "Snow White" because animals flock to me wherever I go. I’ve never met an animal that I haven’t been able to befriend :) When I was five, I was walking our neighbors dogs for $1 while I patiently waited for my little sister to be old enough in my parents' opinion for us to pets of our own - so you could say I've been preparing for this opportunity for decades lol Eventually, I personally had ALL the pets - dogs, cats, birds, bunnies, mice, hamsters, among many other creatures and critters both big and small. I truly love animals! Currently, I have two 🐈⬛ black Bombay cats 🐈⬛ that I love more than words can express: o Holmes: 10-year-old mini panther who acts like a dog He sits / stays / comes / plays fetch on command, has an awful habit of eating rubber (requiring multiple emergency surgeries 😓), and loves always being on / next to me/my partner at all times o Watson, 1.5-year-old female kitten who lived on the streets for the first year of her life and still acts like a very adorable trash panda She loves cardboard > comfy beds, begging for human food > her automatic dispensed prescription food, playing with trash > normal toys, and meowing often and loudly o Since we rescued Watson, the kitties have lived in separate spaces while their friendship continues to grow (through scent swapping, sight swapping, controlled interactions). Holmes has understandably struggled to adapt after a decade of being an only child but he likes having his sister in his eye sight. Both cats are highly food motivated - they regularly eat from the same squeezem treat on opposite sides of the gate so we believe they will become even better buddies soon. Every day, I also support a number of wild animals with multiple bird feeders in my yard, including (over 20 different species of) birds, bunnies, mice, squirrels, and two ducks. Several birds (chickadees & dark headed juncos) even fly up to the porch when I step outside and whistle. Family, friends, and neighbors have relied on me to care for their fur babies for years. I am not only confident that I can take care of your pet(s), but that I also will treat them with the love and respect they deserve to ensure they have the best experience pawsible! I will make time for your pet(s)! I am an industrial-organizational psychologist (which is a fancy way of saying I apply science to improve work, workers, and the workplace) starting my own consulting organization. I make my own schedule so I can (likely) accommodate your requested timing. Both of our black voids are very protective of their space so I will likely take care of your pet inside your home / outside mine. When I am traveling, I love receiving proof of life photos of my kitties, so I will take multiple, quality photos of your pet(s) every day! Additionally, I will take diligent notes on your pets’ likes, dislikes, needs, & health in advance; I personally have a 12-page document outlining my pets’ care instructions that I share with sitters so you can trust that I will document everything you pet could need.
About: I loved dogs since I was 10 years old. I currently have 3 dogs in my family, and in my life time I’ve taken care of 6 dogs within my family. Currently I have Maltese, a poodle, and a husky in the family. I’ll be completely on break for July and will be more than happy to walk your pets during the day and care for them in the hours you request. Whatever your needs are, I’ll make it work! In my home I care for dogs by letting them walk with me throughout the house, play in my fenced yard, and take them on long walks to make sure they do their business. I’d can do the same and more in your homes!

I would definitely board with Joshua again.”

About: I’m a retired lady with a lifelong love for animals. From the time I was a child, I’ve shared my home and heart with both dogs and cats, and I truly can’t imagine life without them. Caring for animals isn’t just something I enjoy—it’s something I feel deeply connected to. I’ve had the privilege of completing training and earning credentials as part of an animal therapy team with my wonderful dog, Bryan. Together, we’ve brought comfort and smiles children’s reading programs, care homes, and other community settings. That experience has only deepened my understanding of animals’ emotional needs and how to care for them with patience, kindness, and respect. I’m proud to be the go-to pet sitter and dog walker for my friends and family, who trust me not only because of my experience, but because they know I treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether your furry companion needs a fun walk, attentive sitting while you're away, or just a little extra TLC, I’ll provide dependable, loving care that keeps tails wagging and whiskers purring. Being retired allows me to have a flexible schedule, which makes it easy to fit pet care into my daily routine. I enjoy dedicating time each day to walks, feeding, and play. When I’m home and not traveling, I can provide consistent and reliable care. I’m comfortable caring for pets either in their own home or in mine. In a client’s home, I follow their routines closely — making sure feeding, walks, playtime, and any medications are done just as the pet is used to, so they feel secure and comfortable. In my own home, I have one dog and two cats who are very friendly and do well with socialized pets. Visiting dogs or cats get lots of attention, a safe space to relax, and plenty of love. I make sure everyone has a smooth introduction and that all animals are supervised so they feel comfortable together. Whether in your home or mine, I treat pets like family.
“Ocean had a great time while I was out of town. Serena and Peter did phenomenal job on communication and keeping updated everyday. Will definitely come back again.”

“Portia's stay with Janin was great! The environment was exactly what I was looking for with space to explore and a few other dogs to play with. Janin was very communicative, sent pics and gave Portia a lot of 1-1 attention. I could definitely see the bond they developed over the week - definitely reassuring and comforting to know Portia was in great hands while I was away.”
“Zhaoli took amazing care of Jasper! Took him for walks multiple times a day and kept sending his pictures. She was accommodating enough to even extend the stay by one more night and went above and beyond to make it convenient. I would totally recommend her!”
“Brion and his girlfriend took amazing care of Scoobie while I was away. They made sure she got plenty of walks and took her out multiple times a day, which gave me great peace of mind. They also kept me updated with regular photos and messages, so I always knew she was happy and well cared for. It was clear they genuinely cared about her and treated her like their own. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, caring, and reliable dog sitters. Thank you both for taking such wonderful care of Scoobie!”
“My 5 year old lab Queso had a great time with Joyce and her family when he stayed last week. Joyce kept us updated with daily photos. She kept him active with regular walks and games of fetch. All in all, Queso had a great experience and as pet parents we are glad we chose Joyce for boarding”
