“This is my second go around with Leslie she’s kind and prompt and you can tell she really loved what’s she’s doing. The care she has shown my animal has been a contributing factor on me writing this review as well as trusting her deeply with my baby. My lala loves going over there and her space is clean and open and wants you to feel the most comfortable always. I’m a forever customer ♥️”
“This is Hammer’s 3rd time staying with him, and once again we’re so happy and satisfied with the care he received. Hammer always comes back happy, clean, and smelling so good! even his bowls were washed and clean when we picked him up. You can really tell he’s well taken care of and loved. We truly appreciate the extra care and attention and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful dogsitter!”
“David & Betty are simply amazing! My first time using Rover, and I chose David & Betty based on their high ratings and proximity. They exceeded every expectation, with very regular updates (photos and video shorts) throughout the day, great communication, and providing walks and feeding per my instructions. I can tell my dog had a wonderful time with them, and I won't hesitate to use them again.”
“Jassem and Joshua are the best! They were so loving and affectionate and attentive with Damon. They gave me peace of mind. I am usually weary about who can watch Damon but they were just the best. Damon had a great time and a wonderful routine with cuddling and going out to the backyard. I loved how they sent us photos every day and I could see how happy and content Damon was. Damon has a bad leg that needs monitoring and takes medication and probiotics. They did such a great job with that!! And they were so attentive they noticed any little changes in Damon’s condition and asked us how to proceed. It was the best experience and my husband Damon and I are very happy. THANK YOU THANK YOU!”
“I’m a repeat client and always very happy with the care my pet receives! The sitter is responsible and kind. My dog feels comfortable and happy every time, and I always get updates and photos while I’m away. Highly recommend!”
“Ashley is wonderful! My pup had a great time, with lots of cuddles and play time! Ashley gave daily report card updates, with great photos! She was very communicative and responsive. I can tell my pup was well-cared for! Highly recommend Ashley!”
“Quang was amazing. Every day during our fur babies’ stay we received pictures and videos of their activities along with updates. He was super responsive, trustworthy and attentive. Will DEFINITELY be having him watch our babies again!”
“If caring for a diaper-wearing senior cat were an Olympic sport, Kizzie would be taking home the gold medal every time! She consistently goes above and beyond for our beloved Ginger, handling all of her special needs with ease, compassion, and a smile. On top of that, Ginger gets unlimited snuggles, affection, and VIP treatment at no extra charge. It's obvious Ginger feels right at home with Kizzie, and she doesn't even seem to mind Moco's enthusiastic attempts at friendship. Knowing Ginger is safe, comfortable, and loved gives us incredible peace of mind whenever we're away. We couldn't recommend Kizzie more highly. She's dependable, caring, and absolutely wonderful. As far as we're concerned, Ginger has already picked her favorite sitter, and it's Kizzie!”
“Katie is fantastic! My pup Franki has stayed with her several times. Franki and Zoey get along great. I love the amount of photos and videos and daily updates we get. I highly recommend Katie!”
“Leslie is wonderful! Very communicative and kept me updated throughout the day. This is our pups first time with an actual dog sitter rather than PetSmart. Because it was our pups first time, he was very anxious. She was super understanding and took note to keep an eye on him and made sure she was close to him to help calm him down. I highly recommend her. I will definitely continue going to her.”
“I couldn't have gotten better sitters for my dog they knew I was worried and sent me many videos and up dates. If you need a sitter I highly recommend this sitter, oh and they were very very patient with us when we kept getting lost.. I'd like to thank them again!”
“Brandon was great. He helped us out in a pinch on a holiday weekend. We were able to do a meet and greet with his dogs ahead, good communication throughout! We will be booking with Brandon again!”
“Kristina responded quickly to my last minute request. She was open to chatting with me to learn about him and how she could make him comfortable. Even though my dog has some behavior problems, Kristina was still open to working with him. She kept us up to date with pictures and comments on how he was doing. She treated my dog very well. I wouldn't hesitate to have Kristina watch my dog again in the future.”
“Abby was amazing! Was such a last minute booking and I was so nervous. Did a meet and greet first and Batman and her got along great. She eased all my worries. Sent me update videos and photos all the time! Will definitely reach out to her again. 😊”
“They did a great job taking care of our two dogs. They took pictures, walked them and communicated daily. Highly recommend and would use their house sitting service again, great family!”
“Andre watched our two golden retriever babies last minute after we had to find alternate plans for the dogs right before we flew out on vacation. We are so appreciative of her! She took great care of them daily, sent us photos, played with them and was a great sitter. Highly recommend and we’d hire her again any day!”

About: I grew up with cats and have always been a true cat person. I currently have two cats, Tifa and Vincent. Tifa came with me from Thailand, while Vincent was adopted from a shelter. I understand that every cat has a different personality, routine, and comfort level, and I always try to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for.
“Hayley was an excellent sitter for my cat! I’m always nervous when I’m away, but Hayley’s communication and photo updates really put my anxiety at ease. She was punctual, clean, and did a great job administering my cat’s medicine. She used the remaining appointment time to play with my cat, so she was nice and tuckered out by the time I got home. I would 100% recommend her services!”
“Broke, as always, took such wonderful care of our cat. She is reliable, caring, and always goes above and beyond to make sure he is happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We have complete peace of mind knowing he's with her, and we truly appreciate the love and attention she gives him. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional pet sitter!”
“Working with Kristen was wonderful! She took great pictures of my cat and provided detailed descriptions of what happened during the visits. It was very clear she cared greatly for Near. I would highly recommend working with Kristen!”
“Kimes is always so wonderful when it comes to cat sitting for us. She is responsive to messages, sends pictures, and lets us know if she notices anything or if the ordinary. We appreciate her time and care for our baby girl.”
“John was wonderful! Very communicative, sent regular updates, and clearly cared about the well-being of our cats. He even did some extra things around the house (like watering plants) while we were away.”
“Another fantastic experience with Chelsea. She really is my "go-to" person when it comes to someone reliable and trustworthy to take care of my "kids" whenever I'm gone. Never a doubt that Chelsea will take care of them in my absence. I really leave home knowing they are in the best care possible!”
“Shelli was wonderful, and Luna liked her immediately. She communicated well, was very easy to talk with, and left us at ease while we traveled! I came home to a happy cat, and that's the real 5-star review! 🐾😸”
“Holly was great! My cat hadn't been without me for this long before and it was a huge relief to know that she was so well taken care of. She also took on taking care of my less conventional pets, my fish and my bearded dragon, and did great. Will definitely be booking her again!”
“Isabel was such a great sitter for my 2 cats while we were out of town. She was prompt everyday and sent a ton of pics and videos with each drop in. Didn't have to worry at all while we were gone because she gave such good thorough updates. Definitely recommend booking Isabel for your pet sitting needs. Your pets will be so well cared for”
“Kalie is a great cat sitter for so many reasons. She’s super thorough, is detailed oriented, and she gave our cats the love they needed for a week long trip. We would definitely recommend her to anyone in need of a trustworthy sitter.”
“This was my first time using Rover and having Ali take care of my cat while I was out of state was great! Ali was communicative and great with my cat! I would highly recommend hiring Ali 💯😊”
“Meghan was great! She fed my cat Sophie twice a day while I was gone, and sent me lots of updates and photos of the two of them cuddling. Will definitely hire her again if she's available. Thanks Meghan!”
“Danielle did an excellent job taking care of our two kitties! She was vrry communicative, keeping us updated throughout her visits. She sent plenty of photos, which gave us peace of mind, and it was clear she genuinely cared for them. Highly recommend her!”
“Once again Mary took excellent care of our 18 year old cat. She gave her medicine cleaned all her litter boxes, gave her medicine and of course food and water. Our cat is happy we’re home, but was well loved and cared for in our absence. Mary also has excellent communication while caring for our cat/house.”
About: My whole life I've lived with at least 1 cat, from my childhood cat who I cared for in his final hours at 19 years old to the 4 year old I've had since he was a kitten there is nothing I'm not prepared to handle

Perfect for high energy dogs - O'Brien
Prices are estimates per day. Pricing may vary based on your search. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
About: I treat each pup like part of the family—whether that means sticking closely to your dog’s routine, giving extra cuddles, or providing gentle care for seniors or high-energy playtime for puppies. My home is safe, calm, and dog-friendly, with plenty of room to relax or play. I send regular updates and photos, so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pup is in loving hands. As a retiree, pet care is truly a part of my everyday life—and something I genuinely enjoy. Since I’m home full-time, your dog will never be left alone for long periods and will receive constant attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. My daily routine is built around keeping dogs happy and comfortable, from morning walks and playtime to relaxed afternoons and evening cuddles. I keep a calm, quiet home where dogs can feel safe and relaxed, and I’m always available for feeding, potty breaks, or just spending quality time with them. When pets stay in my home, I treat them like one of the family. I follow their normal routine as closely as possible—including feeding schedules, walk times, play habits, and bedtime routines—to help them feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed. My home is clean, quiet, and dog-friendly, with plenty of space for lounging, supervised playtime, and cozy naps. I give each dog plenty of personal attention throughout the day, whether that means going for walks, playing fetch, or just offering a warm lap to curl up on. If your dog needs medication, special meals, or extra care (like for puppies or seniors), I handle it all with patience and attention to detail. I also keep pet parents updated with regular messages and photos, so you can rest easy knowing your pup is in good hands.
“Thanks for the great pics. Penny looks so content. When I dropped her off this morning, Penny went right up to Richard and didn’t try to pull away to come with me as she has done in the past. She must really like Marina and Richard and I am so happy to have found someone I can trust when I need a sitter in the future. Thanks again!”
“She did an amazing job with our dog! She was very flexible and able to take him on last minute. She kept us updated on how he was doing and very responsive to us through his time there. If we lived locally, we definitely would be back.”
About: I’ve spent more than 20 years caring for animals, and being around pets has always been a natural part of my life. I’ve owned dogs for most of my life, and when I didn’t have one of my own, I was the person friends, family, and neighbors relied on to care for theirs. My experience includes caring for both large and small dog breeds, each with their own personalities, energy levels, and needs. I’ve also cared for rabbits and horses and spent several summers on a farm, giving me hands-on experience with a variety of animals and teaching me the importance of patience, consistency, and responsible care. In addition, my brother is a professional dog trainer, which has given me valuable insight into dog behavior, communication, and positive handling techniques. While I’m not a certified trainer, I’ve learned practical skills that help me understand dogs and create a calm, safe environment for them. I offer boarding, drop-in visits, dog walking, and house sitting. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply sticking to their daily routine, I’ll make sure they receive personalized care, plenty of attention, and lots of love while you’re away. I understand that leaving your pet with someone else takes trust. My goal is to treat every animal like they’re part of my own family, so you can feel confident knowing they’re in caring, dependable hands. Pet care fits easily into my routine, and I genuinely enjoy making time for it. I’m currently pretty flexible, and starting in September, I’ll mainly be available afternoons, evenings, and weekends. My schedule can vary from time to time, but I’ll always keep my availability updated and make sure every pet gets the time, attention, and care they need. I try to make every pet feel as comfortable as possible by sticking to the routine they’re used to. Every dog is different, so I always ask about their schedule, personality, and any special instructions before I start caring for them. If I’m working that day, I always make sure we get a good walk in before I leave. It’s a great way for them to use the bathroom, burn off some energy, and start the day on a positive note. I usually aim for at least a 30-minute walk. When I get home, we head back outside for another potty break and walk. Depending on your dog’s age, energy level, and what they enjoy, our walk might be 30 minutes or it could turn into a longer walk around the neighborhood. Before bed, I always take them out one last time so they’re comfortable for the night. I follow whatever feeding schedule you already have in place, whether that’s in the morning, afternoon, or evening. I know pets thrive on routine, so I do my best to keep things as normal as possible while you’re away. Most importantly, I treat every pet like they’re my own. They’ll get plenty of attention, playtime, affection, fresh water, and lots of love. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, happy, and cared for—and for you to feel completely at ease knowing they’re in good hands.
“Kristina is an amazing furbaby sitter, and we are so grateful for the care and attention she gives to Enzo every time he stays with her. Enzo is a regular with Kristina, which says a lot about the trust and comfort we feel leaving him in her care. She is dependable, kind, and truly treats him like family. We always appreciate the updates, love, and patience she gives him, and it gives us peace of mind knowing he is safe, happy, and well cared for. Enzo always comes home relaxed and happy, and we highly recommend Kristina to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy pet sitter! 🐾”
“Brandon was easy-going, very responsive and took wonderful care of my large and super-active Lab! He sent me nice photos during the day and Atlas was tired and happy when I picked him up. I'd definitely go to Brandon again when in the Seattle area.”
“Shannon was fantastic with my nervous rescue senior chihuahua mix. I received regular updates throughout the day, and my dog got more walks and more company/attention than if I had left her at home to work. Shannon also made sure to ask about a potential vet to contact in case of emergencies and was generally very considerate. Truly, a godsend.”
About: I grew up with animals and have had a cat of my own (Mern) since 2017. I built a solid clientele when I did Rover throughout college, many of whom I worked with for several years. I am comfortable with all breeds and ages. I have spent extensive time (both in professional and personal settings) caring for small breeds like dachshunds, chihuahuas, and pomeranians, as well as larger breeds like German shepherds, huskies, and Great Danes. I also have friends with higher energy breeds such as border collies, heelers, and whippets that I love to care for. I’m very excited to be back on Rover and am confident I can meet your pet’s needs :) feel free to reach with any questions! I work from home so I am pretty flexible! I can always plan to take some time out of my day for walks, feeds, playtime, etc. My main goal is to keep your pet safe and ensure they feel safe as well. I like to understand what is familiar to them so I can create a trusting environment.
About: Hi! I'm Shirley, a passionate animal lover who believes every walk should be an adventure. Whether your pup loves a brisk walk, extra sniffing time, or plenty of belly rubs, I'm here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I'm reliable, attentive, and excited to get to know your furry family member. I can't wait to meet your best friend and become their new favorite walking buddy! I work from home, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. They won't be left alone for long periods and will receive regular potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and lots of love. I do my best to maintain their normal routine so they feel comfortable, safe, and right at home while you're away. In my home, your pet will be treated like part of the family. I have a fully fenced yard where they can safely enjoy outdoor time, along with plenty of playtime, attention, affection, and a comfortable place to relax. I'll follow your pet's usual routine as closely as possible so they feel safe and at home. For drop-in visits or care in your home, I'll make sure your pet has everything they need during each visit. This includes feeding, fresh water, potty breaks or walks, playtime, lots of love and attention, and, of course, plenty of cuddles if they enjoy them. I'll also follow any specific instructions you provide and send updates so you know your pet is happy and well cared for while you're away.
“Stanley is super responsive, super welcoming, and a truly dog lover! He and his wife Victoria took care of our doggies as their family. Charlie, their super cute dachshund welcomed them as well! We humans and dogs became get along so quick. They showed their place and explained how they will spend before confirming the appointment. That was very nice as well. Though, I asked him this appointment the last-minute, Stanley accepted it willingly and I could enjoy the day without any concerns. My Dogs enjoyed the time with them so much. They came home with "good tired". That is most important. My dogs have upcoming boarding appointments with him already. Can't wait for it! I highly recommend Stanley. *Receiving photos and videos didn't work well through chat window on rover.com so he sent those to me direct phone number. Thank you so much, again!”
“I’m a repeat client of Chuk’s and couldn’t be happier with the care she provides for my senior dog. She’s incredibly kind, communicative, and always goes out of her way to make sure my dog is comfortable and well cared for. It’s such a relief knowing my pup is in such good hands. Chuk is also very accommodating and easy to work with. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate sitter!”
“Amazing experience! Abby accepted a last minute booking and provided great care. Communication was excellent, and my dog came back happy. I’ll definitely be booking again!”
“Andrea is lovely and was really great with my dogs. She is super easy to communicate with and my dogs were very comfortable with her. I will highly recommend her to anyone and will certainly bring my dogs back the next time I need a sitter!”
“This was our first time trusting anyone outside of our family to watch our pup, Charlie, so we were definitely nervous. But now I feel at ease knowing we have reliable care in our neighborhood. I can’t say enough wonderful things about Molly or about how comfortable she made us feel leaving Charlie in her care. From the moment we reached out, Molly was incredibly responsive, thoughtful, and reassuring. She took the time to get to know Charlie and understand his routine, and it was clear how much she genuinely cared about making sure he was happy and comfortable. While we were away, her communication gave us so much peace of mind, we never had to wonder how he was doing. Most importantly, Charlie was clearly happy, well cared for, and completely at ease with her. We even noticed that he didn’t seem that excited to leave and come home 😂. Knowing he was in such good hands allowed us to actually relax and focus on our work days. We feel incredibly lucky to have found Molly and will absolutely trust her with Charlie again. Highly recommend!!”
About: Hi there! I’m a passionate dog owner and lover who knows firsthand just how much your pup means to you, because mine mean everything to me. With my own dog at home, I understand the importance of trust, routine, and genuinely connecting with every dog I care for. I’m active, outdoorsy, and especially great with high-energy dogs who need more than just a quick potty break. Whether it’s a brisk walk through the neighborhood or a drop-in visit to break up their day, I bring the same enthusiasm and attentiveness every single time. I’m a details person. Every dog is different, and I truly mean it when I say no instruction is too small. Have a pup with food allergies, a specific leash routine, or certain triggers I should know about? Tell me everything. The more I know about your dog’s quirks, preferences, and needs, the better I can care for them exactly the way you would. Here’s what you can count on from me: • Reliability - I show up when I say I will, every time • Attentiveness - I pay close attention to each dog’s mood, behavior, and individual needs • Communication - Expect updates and photos so you always know your pup is happy and thriving • Detail-oriented care - Your instructions won’t just be noted, they’ll be followed to the letter • A dog-first mindset - Your dog’s comfort and safety are always my top priority I’d love to meet your furry family member! Feel free to reach out to schedule a meet-and-greet. I always recommend one before our first booking so your dog and I can get acquainted on their terms. I work from home full time, which means I have a flexible schedule and can be fully present for your pet’s care. I prefer at least a week’s notice before booking to make sure I can give your pup the attention they deserve. My attention to detail means every instruction you give me will be followed carefully and consistently. Before any booking, I encourage you to share any triggers, fears, or allergies your dog may have, no detail is too small. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my first priority, and I treat every home and every pup with the same respect and care I’d want for my own dogs.
“Marcola has been great with my dog!! She is knowledgeable about dog behavior which is reassuring. Thor is now comfortable with me leaving him with his “doggy-sitter.” I will continue to book Marcola!!”
About: I’ve had a dog in my house for most of my life. I’ve had very small dogs and giant breed dogs. The largest was 110 pounds. I have volunteered with the ASPCA in the Bay Area. I also have volunteered for many years at the Humane Society in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania as well I’m a huge dog lovers that make our own food. There are also two parks within walking distance from our house. So when your pet stays with me, I will be able to take them to an off leash area multiple times a day. I am an early risers. Your pet will be at the dog park before 6 AM. We play at the dog park that early and take care of our potties. After that, we will come back home, and have our breakfast. The rest of the morning is watching me and my partner clean up and prepare for the day. A mid afternoon break to go back to the park and play off leash. If the park is full, I usually just take a long walk. I try to make sure that they get a couple long walks a week, just so they can get their sniffing in. In the evening, a much longer trip to the park to play. I generally feed dinner around 5 PM. Then cuddling and hanging out for the rest of the evening. I am usually in bed before 10 o’clock I will make sure that all small items that could be chewed up by animals is kept put up. I have many chew toys for the to play with to encourage playing with toys versus destroying property.

“Danielle was lovely with our pups. I really appreciated how we did an initial meet and greet with a test walk for our behemoth of a German Shepherd. Her communication was also top notch. Highly recommend!”
About: I love animals but have no fur babies of my own. So I really enjoy showering other people's pets with all the attention and scritches I have to give! I have taken care of all kinds of dogs; from chihuahuas to newfoundlands, puppies to seniors, beautiful mutts to regal standard poodles. I am self employed and typically don't work while I'm pet sitting, which gives me lots of flexibility and frees up my time for your fur babies. I stay with animals in their homes so they feel the most comfortable they can while their people are away. I'm fine with animals sleeping in bed with me if that's what their used to as well.
“Meghan does a great job walking my 2 large breed dogs! She always sends pictures and updates, and I can tell they are having a good time. She is flexible and willing to pick up extra days when they come up or change the time of a walk if needed. I will definitely be booking Meghan again!”
About: I've taken care of dogs since my early childhood. I bathed, walked, and fed dogs, making sure all their needs are met no matter how specific. I am a college student with a lot of free time while searching for a part time job. I have plenty of time to watch pets, walk dogs, stop by, etc. I make sure their bowls are filled and listen to the owner's instructions when applicable. I love entertaining and making sure they get their proper exercise (and it helps me get a work out in too)
“We had a very busy day and Hoko was home alone most of the day today, I was preparing for another graduation and needed someone last minute to walk Hoko, Laura was great and I truly appreciate her accepting our request on such a short notice.”
“Kalie was amazing with our dogs. She was very patient with them as they can be a handful on the walk. She provided photos and updates on each walk. I trust Kalie with our pups and will definitely hire her again! Thanks Kalie.”
“Alexis was very nice and friendly. Arrived a few minutes prior to the scheduled time to get acquainted with me and the dogs. She knows the area so don't have to explain where she should walk. My dogs loved the walks.”
“If you read Kimee's profile it becomes clear very quickly that she loves animals and by far this was the most important trait when we were looking for someone to walk our Penelope. The big thing about utilizing a service like this is building trust and Kimee has done that in a relatively short period of time. She's prepared, flexible, on time and communicative. We really couldn't ask for anything more and greatly appreciate what she does for our family. Thanks Kimee!!”
“I'm so glad we have Shelli to help take care of our dogs. It's very reassuring to know they are in good hands. She's great with my crazy puppy and with my crazy not-a-puppy-anymore!”

“Isa did a great job with our dog, Frida. She’s reliable and communicative, and it’s clear from the pictures that all of our animals (dog and 3 cats) wanted to be around her! We recommend her for your dog and cat care needs, and we’ll definitely be rebooking her again.”
“I’ve used Megan many times. She has great communication, is knowledgeable about animals and cares about your pet. I have a young puppy that she’s taken on numerous walks and she has been patient and helped him learn good habits. Megan then gives me great tips on how to continue to help my pup.”

“This is Hammer’s 3rd time staying with him, and once again we’re so happy and satisfied with the care he received. Hammer always comes back happy, clean, and smelling so good! even his bowls were washed and clean when we picked him up. You can really tell he’s well taken care of and loved. We truly appreciate the extra care and attention and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful dogsitter!”
“Jassem and Joshua are the best! They were so loving and affectionate and attentive with Damon. They gave me peace of mind. I am usually weary about who can watch Damon but they were just the best. Damon had a great time and a wonderful routine with cuddling and going out to the backyard. I loved how they sent us photos every day and I could see how happy and content Damon was. Damon has a bad leg that needs monitoring and takes medication and probiotics. They did such a great job with that!! And they were so attentive they noticed any little changes in Damon’s condition and asked us how to proceed. It was the best experience and my husband Damon and I are very happy. THANK YOU THANK YOU!”
“Ashley is wonderful! My pup had a great time, with lots of cuddles and play time! Ashley gave daily report card updates, with great photos! She was very communicative and responsive. I can tell my pup was well-cared for! Highly recommend Ashley!”
“Quang was amazing. Every day during our fur babies’ stay we received pictures and videos of their activities along with updates. He was super responsive, trustworthy and attentive. Will DEFINITELY be having him watch our babies again!”
“Leslie is wonderful! Very communicative and kept me updated throughout the day. This is our pups first time with an actual dog sitter rather than PetSmart. Because it was our pups first time, he was very anxious. She was super understanding and took note to keep an eye on him and made sure she was close to him to help calm him down. I highly recommend her. I will definitely continue going to her.”
“I couldn't have gotten better sitters for my dog they knew I was worried and sent me many videos and up dates. If you need a sitter I highly recommend this sitter, oh and they were very very patient with us when we kept getting lost.. I'd like to thank them again!”
“Brandon was great. He helped us out in a pinch on a holiday weekend. We were able to do a meet and greet with his dogs ahead, good communication throughout! We will be booking with Brandon again!”
“Andre watched our two golden retriever babies last minute after we had to find alternate plans for the dogs right before we flew out on vacation. We are so appreciative of her! She took great care of them daily, sent us photos, played with them and was a great sitter. Highly recommend and we’d hire her again any day!”
“Johnnie was great! Daisy came home a very tired pup. He took her for runs and she got to play with the other dogs he watches during the day. He leaves the backdoor leading to his fully fenced yard open at all times for the dogs. When I dropped her off, Daisy immediately bolted to go play in the yard. Johnnie made Daisy feel very much at home with his doggy friendly furniture policy. He was flexible in our pick up/drop off times and even returned Daisy bathed! I cannot recommend Johnnie enough.”
“Jessi and her family are so wonderful! This is the second time Jessi’s watched our dog and we can’t say enough wonderful things about her. She goes above and beyond. We hope we’re lucky enough to have her babysit again.”
“Jeff and his partner are such warm and caring people. They took over our dog during an emergency when we are on our trip because our dog didn’t do well at the first Dogsitter’s condo. Jeff gave us daily updates and our dog had a great time there! Highly recommend.”
“Qilian was so amazing…better than I could have expected even! My partner and i were so nervous to leave our new rescue pup for the first time because she has severe anxiety. Qilian provided such a safe comfortable environment for her that she settled in quickly, which has never happened before. My other dog Kikko also had an injured paw that required extra care and she went above and beyond to help take care of it. She sent sooo many pictures and updates that it felt like we were with our dogs the whole time 🥹So glad we found a great Rover that we can use from now on!”
“Kersea did great! Amazing consistent communication and great pictures anytime I needed. And tobi loved being with her he looked comfortable with her. I truly appreciate the work and care she had for my boy. Id definitely bring him back to her when I need to go out of town again she did really good. She definitely has had care for animals before. Thank you kersea!”
“I felt very at ease leaving my dog Agnes with Shannon. She has a lot of experience with dogs and Agnes liked her immediately. Her two dogs are very sweet and were great playmates to Agnes. She also gave me frequent updates on my pup, which I really appreciated because this was the first time I've been away from my puppy for that length of time. My dog is very energetic and she was able to handle her well. I would definitely ask her to sit for me again!”
“This is our first time leaving Nigel with someone other than a family or friend and Samantha did great! She checked in and sent pictures throughout his stay. We love how she is a single dog home since Nigel is much more of a people person. Her home is very dog friendly and safe. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“It was my first time using Rover / any sitter for my sweet boy and Erika did a great job in calming my nerves. She sent me daily updates with pictures of my boy and what he’s been up to. I definitely got the feeling she took great care of my pup when I was away. Definitely recommend and we will be a repeat customer.”
“Alex is a great sitter for my dog and I know he’ll be safe and happy when staying with Alex and his dogs. Provides lots of updates so I don’t have to worry. Would book with again in the future!”
“Myra has done an excellent job taking care of my dog for the past 10 days. She has kept me abreast of any issues that may be of concern, and has sent pictures showing my happy dog. I will definitely use her services again next time I need boarding.”
