“Katie is absolutely amazing! She always promptly responds to requests, questions, etc. I highly recommend her. My dogs love her and her pup Zoe. Luna and Tinkerbell get excited as soon as we pull up to her place, they know they are in for a treat. Katie really listens to you and accommodates accordingly. I know that my girls are always in great hands when they are with Katie. I will most definitely continue booking with her and hope this review doesn't fill her calendar!”
“Thank you so much for taking such good care of our pups! We so appreciate the care and attention Jaime gives to providing daily updates, photos, and videos. We can travel worry-free knowing they are in good hands.”
“Shannon was so great with Bella! She took her on fun excursions and provided great updates and pictures. I will definitely be asking Shannon to take care of Bella again!”
“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!”
“I can’t recommend Michelle enough! She took exceptional care of my dog, Bowie, for a week. Throughout Bowie’s stay, she was proactive in sharing photos and videos, which really put my mind at ease. Michelle was also incredibly thoughtful and flexible with my pick-up and drop-off schedule, making the whole process smooth and stress-free. Bowie came home happy and well-cared for. Thank you, Michelle!”
“This was our first time using Rover for our new pup and Theresa did a great job keeping us informed by sending pictures and updates. It was reassuring to see that he was doing good and was well taken care of. Theresa is very responsive, we would use her again! Thanks Theresa 😊”
“Rikke was outstanding once again with Owen & Wilson. Our fur babies have so much fun at her home. It’s always so nice to get the pictures of our boys along with Neville, Luna and the other furry friends that she cares for.”
“This is my second time! Stanley and family are trustworthy! Very good communication. My dogs are so happy to meet their dachshund, Charlie:) I could enjoy family vacation time without any concerns or stress. Thank you very much.”
“Gino was great with my two pups. They can be a lot but he was understanding and worked his magic. He gives a lot of updates so you won't have to worry about your pup.”
“It was my first time using Rover, and I could tell my dog enjoyed staying with Chuk. She sent daily updates and was responsive to all my questions. I had to drop my dog off early in the morning and pick her up late at night, which can be challenging, but she was incredibly flexible with the timing. Thank you so much!”
About: I have a deep sense of responsibility when it comes to caring for pets, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I’ve been watching friends’ dogs for over 5 years and also have a 3-year-old cat myself. I understand how stressful it can feel to leave your pet behind, so I aim to create a calm, loving, and safe environment while you’re away. Whether your pet enjoys playtime, walks, or just quiet companionship, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. I work from home most days and that allows me to visit your home at your desired time. If needed, I’m available as early as 6 AM and as late as 8 PM. I have a separate space in my house where I can watch pets if needed. I have a large, fenced backyard for dogs and cat trees with toys for cats.
“Jennifer is amazing! We always book with her when we go out of town. This time she took on a last minute request because we had a change in travel plans. In addition to visiting our two cats, she also boarded our dog at her place! Super appreciate her flexibility, communication, and our pets always seem happy whenever we return home.”
“Ellen and Larry were awesome with my little Miles! They have a beautifully fenced yard for him to play in and sent picture updates the whole time. We'll definitely rebook the next time we need a sitter!”
“Leslie was truly amazing! Her communication was thorough before the weekend, and kept us updated through the weekend with videos and photos. She will be our first connection the next time we need a sitter. Thank you for your kindness and taking care of our Ellie, Leslie. You are wonderful!”
“Couldn’t recommend Tyler & Amanda enough! For sure found our go to pet sitters. They were flexible, communicative, and our dog for sure had the best time. They took so many pictures and videos of our guy daily. The only worry we had was how our dog would behave no worries regarding the care and attention that Tyler and Amanda ensured. We’re convinced our dog thinks their place is his 2nd home. Can’t wait to rebook!”

“Jennifer cared for my kitties for 5 days. She did a great job and checked on them daily, taking care of all of their needs. She worked to get them more comfortable with her and they were happy and healthy when I came home. Thank you so much, Jennifer! You are awesome! Would definitely recommend.”
“If I could give Kristen 10 stars I would! She really went above and beyond with our Teddy. She communicated every day when she was on her way, and she sent plenty of pictures and detailed updates. And our cat Teddy, who is usually a little shy around new people, took to her right away. I’ll definitely be reaching out to Kristen for future pet sitting needs, she was simply amazing! 😻”
“We came home to a happy and content kitty. Kritika took such wonderful care of our cat Blue.. we could tell from all the pics and videos she sent us that our cat was happy. We have a shy kitty but she connected so well with Kritika, which is awesome. We would definitely use her services again in the future.”
“April spent the weekend for her first overnight with my 22 year old cat, Paris. April checked in and sent pictures along the way which I really appreciated. She even sent one of Paris being a total ham and taking over April's entire arm for a cuddle/nap sesh so needless to say Paris enjoyed her time with April and can't wait for the next sleepover. April is great!”
“Chelsea filled a very last minute invite to care for our sweet kitty. Our kitty warmed up to her so quickly and we had no doubt she would be in great hands. Chelsea is kind, reliable, consistent and we looked forward to her daily updates and pictures, which were always so fun to see.”
“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! 🐾😸”
“Cassie was fantastic! She took wonderful care of our cats while we were away and did all the things we asked. She provided great updates and was communicative and supportive throughout the weekend! Highly recommend her!! Will be asking her to watch our cats again!”
“Brooke took exceptional care of our cat, Bouncer. He’s an incredibly shy boy, yet she approached him with such patience, kindness, and genuine warmth that he slowly began to trust her—something that means more to us than words can say. It’s unmistakably clear that Brooke pours her heart into caring for the animals she watches over. If you want someone who will treat your fur babies with real love, compassion, and dedication, you couldn’t choose anyone better than Brooke. Highly, highly recommend.”
“Harley always does a great job! On time, deals with random complications, always sends some great pics, the cats are super comfortable with her, and she leaves things in a good state in the house!”
“Grace was wonderful with our cats, Milo and Lilah. She was caring, spent good time playing with them, keeping them company, and checking on their well-being. Her communication was excellent, and she followed all instructions perfectly. We highly recommend Grace and will definitely book with her again in the future!”
“Dani watched our 2 cats over the weekend and did a fantastic job of taking care of them! We greatly appreciate your help making sure our cats had food, water, clean litter boxes, and some play time while we were away. I would not hesitate to recommend Dani's services to others :) !”
“I had a great experience with Savonne! She is an excellent communicator. Although my cat is stubborn and seemingly only likes me, Savonne did her best and my cat was in better health when I returned! I would recommend Savonne to anyone seeking professional care for their fur baby.”
“Marcela did a great job caring for our cats while we were out of town. She was nice enough to bring in our packages that came while we were gone so they were safe as well as our little fur balls!”
“Daniel was great! I'm a first time Rover user, and everything went very smoothly from the meet and greet through his visits with Bobcat. Really like getting the check-ins along with the photos. I highly recommend Daniel.”
“Kimee is amazing. She is quick to respond and very accommodating. she followed our instructions for care to the "t" and even offered up some additional suggestions. I've already rebooked with her!!! Thanks Kimee ?”
“Alex took great care of our cats and is a lovely person! They were patient with our shy kitties, left detailed notes each day, and did great giving meds. It was great to come home to happy cats, and Alex even took out the garbage and vacuumed stray litter. We would absolutely have Alex take care of our cats again!”
“Mary is a fabulous house and pet sitter!!! She’s very conscientious about following instructions. Our home was in better condition after our trip than before. Most importantly she spent quality time with our cats! And cared for our parakeets too. She shared updates regularly. Cats and birds were happy when we returned home! I’ve used three other sitters from Rover before. Mary is the best!”

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.
“Jacklyn was great! Sent lots of (very cute!) pictures, walked McCoy, and made sure he got along with her own dog. McCoy was always happy to see her (and her dog) when we dropped him off. Jacklyn was also very responsive to us (e.g. when we had to modify our arrival/pick up time) which made our lives very easy.”
“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.”
“So glad to have found Quinten after our former Rover caretaker moved overseas. He clearly loves dogs and it shows in his gentleness and patience towards them. Like many of her kind, our French Bulldog can have bursts of high energy. Some Rover caretakers who are less experienced can be overwhelmed with her quirks, but Quinten was not only unfazed but seems to appreciate each dog’s unique personality. He sent plenty of videos and pictures during a short day care. We look forward to our next stay with him.”
“If you are in the position to need someone to watch your fur family member, look no further than Marina and Richard. They took in our 14-week-old puppy two days in a row for daycare. We were able to focus on what we needed to do, knowing she was in good hands. They have a few dogs and daughters who taught our pup some good socialization skills. She came home, happy and tired. We are so grateful for her care!”
“Maria is amazing!! Our pups got to spend the day going for walks and enjoying the company of other dogs in thr comfort of Maria's home! I think one of our dogs actually got mad that she had to leave 😉”
“Dot had a terrific first day of care with Jaime. I got updates, pictures , she had time outside before it got too warm + snacks. She also SLEPT and came home tired which is always a perk. Much appreciated Jaime”
“Such a wonderful feeling when you finally found a great sitter for your pup! Zoie has never been this happy being away from me! It only goes to show that Daisha and Tam did a fabulous job of caring for and treating my pup like their own. I would definitely use their services again and highly recommended.”
“Joyce and her husband were wonderful with our Coco. They know dogs and worked so well with ours. He has a bit of separation anxiety, but Joyce and her dogs took care of that immediately. Loved the large fenced back yard and the fact that her 2 dogs were small so ours wasn’t intimated. Looking forward to working with her again.”
“Amanda was great! She communicated clearly with me and took great care of my pup. My dog was always so excited to go to daycare with her and she never wanted to leave. She got along very well with the other pets in the house.”
“Sara is AMAZING!!!! My dog can be shy with new humans but with Sara she went to her right away. Sara sent pictures and updates to me. I have never seen my dog so happy!!! Will definitely be going back whenever I need to leave my dog with someone.”
“Thank you so much Lilia and fam for watching Gunner. It can be hard leaving him, but knowing he was safe, loved, and kept busy made all the difference. I could tell he had an amazing day because he came home happy and content. We appreciate you!”
“This was my 1st time with Daniel & Joelle, who were very accommodating. My pup did a day long to get used to them & see if she'd be a good fit for a week upcoming boarding. Everything went well. Meelo is a very sweet old guy, which is great for my pup who's been bullied & is shy at first. Though it was her 1st day & so somewhat anxiety provoking to be left, she still seemed relaxed when I picked her up & asked everyone for scratches & pets during the day. It also seemed she took a liking to their daughter Esther:) She'll try a week there a few weeks from now.”
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.
About: Most people call me Josh. Dogs have always been my favorite animal and I've lived with them for most of my life. I am recently dog-free and I miss having dog energy in my house. I've raised two dogs through basic obedience to adulthood, one with a class, and one largely on my own. I am personally a big believer in the methods described in The Art of Raising a Puppy, because I have had excellent results with their techniques, but will of course prioritize whatever approach is preferred by owners. I am happy to help reinforce any basic obedience your dog may be working on, as well as senior dogs. I am comfortable with a wide range of dog breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Highly reactive dogs are not my favorite, but "highly reactive" can be subjective, so I will consider such dogs on a case by case basis. I am happy to work with dogs of varying activity levels, but extremely high-activity dogs will also be considered on a case-by-case basis. I am currently working from home and am available for dropoff in-home daycare most weekdays and dog boarding (including weekends). My schedule for my dog was three walks a day (morning, afternoon/dinnertime, bedtime) so that is what I'm used to, but I am happy to work with clients to discuss their routine and work with them to agree on an experience that fits their and their dog's needs. I currently have no other animals in my home, so your dog will get my full attention as needed. I don't have a fenced yard, but I am in a residential neighborhood with a good-sized park a block away. I am reasonably close to Seward Park and the Genesee dog park as well.
“Our dog Midge loved spending the day with Kirsten and her dog Bear! Kirsten was very thorough with her meet and greet and listened to us explain all of Midge's little quirks. Midge was tired and happy after a long walk and romping around the yard with her doggie pals. You can tell Kirsten and her family are total dog people and will take care of your own doggo as if it were their own. We're planning to use Kirsten for more day care and overnight stays in the future!”

“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.”
“Shelli is such a good friend to Dante! She is very considerate and easy to work with and Dante always has such a great time. He loves his daily walks! Thank you, Shelli!”
“What can I say about Hope?! She's such a wonderful and caring person. She came out to meet Miles and me before I was going to bed out of town for a week, just to see where she'd be walking him and to get used to Miles. She updated me every day she walked Miles while I was out of town and included photos and comments of how he did. She even called my mom before arriving at the house since she was babysitting Miles! She is such a fantastic caregiver. Anyone lucky enough to book her is in for a treat!”
“Laura did an amazing job with our senior chi mix. She was so gentle and attentive to her needs while keeping us updated while we are away. We will be booking her again in the future!”
“Larcy walked our senior pup for us and did a great job. Was very communicative and sent us update photos as well. Would highly recommend and will definitely book again in the future.”
“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.”
“Lillia is super responsible - she responds to messages very quick and calls my number when she has questions when walking dog. She also plays with my dog in the backyard when my dog is not willing to walk :) Overall pretty great experience for me and my dog!”
“We just moved to the area and are blessed to have found Beth on Rover! Beth is a loving and conscientious pet owner herself. She understands that our pets are family members. ^__^ We have Beth scheduled to come and take them on a daily walk during the work week. I can tell that they get a good long daily walk and that they are enjoying themselves! She is professional, caring, very responsive & informative with pictures and updates throughout the walks, kind, detail orientated, has amazing communication skills and all around someone we can trust with our pups and in our home. She always takes great care of the pups, gives me a full review of their walk each and every day along with pictures of my two boys. We HIGHLY recommend BETH!”
“Daniel took care of Luna for daily breakfast feedings and morning walks while we were gone on an international trip. We knew we could rely on Daniel to get the job done.”

“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!”

In addition to visiting our two cats, she also boarded our dog at her place! Super appreciate her flexibility, communication, and our pets always seem happy whenever we return home.”
“Couldn’t recommend Tyler & Amanda enough! For sure found our go to pet sitters. They were flexible, communicative, and our dog for sure had the best time. They took so many pictures and videos of our guy daily. The only worry we had was how our dog would behave no worries regarding the care and attention that Tyler and Amanda ensured. We’re convinced our dog thinks their place is his 2nd home. Can’t wait to rebook!”
“Bailey loves his time with Erika and her family. He also enjoys meeting new friends when there are other dogs during his visits. I appreciate the regular updates, pics/videos and especially the reassurance of his safety. Thanks again for taking such good care of Bailey and treating him like part of the family.”
“Kirsten hosted our 1 1/2 yr old black lab for 9 days for our first Rover boarding experience and it was so smooth from drop off to pick up! Kirsten was very communicative and sent daily activity summaries and pictures throughout Skye's stay. It put our mind at ease knowing that Kirsten and her family have extensive dog experience and clearly care for each dog that comes through their home. We will definitely be having Skye stay at Kirsten's for any future trips!”
“Quang was great! We never boarded our dog before, and were going on a two-week vacation. He was open to a trial stay on short notice to see how she would do, and we ended up booking the longer stay. He communicated with us often, and sent a lot of pictures. By the look of things, we were worried she wouldn’t want to come back home… we’ll definitely work with him again”
“Alexis was so wonderful and Bear was so happy. She was patient with him getting adjusted, and loved playing with her two dogs. Such a wonderful "vacation" for him!”
“Daria was wonderful with our dog while we were away for holiday travel. She was so sweet to work with us through schedule changes and delayed flight. We highly recommend Daria!”

“Keana was a life saver this weekend and she and Milo just clicked. I was nervous about their interaction since it was the first time meeting but milo was a good boy per usual. We will definitely see her again ❤️”
“First time using Elan M./Rover service and we would highly recommend Elan M. to look after our dog next time we are in need of a sitter. Elan's daily photo updates kept us informed and relieved us of his security and care. Thank you Elan for looking after our loved one so well. Appreciate it!”
“Doug had an amazing time staying here! He was well-cared for, and we received photos and updates throughout Doug's stay, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. This was Doug's first time staying here, and we will definitely look here again for future pup care!”
“I absolutely love leaving my dog with Jay and Xinyu! My dog is always well cared for, and I get lots of pictures and information while I’m traveling. My dog is always comfortable and seems to have had a pleasant and comfortable experience. I highly recommend them!”
