“Great experience using Lorelei to watch Coco for 5 days. She sent photos and videos of her playing with the other dogs. Upon arriving to pick Coco up, I could tell she had a good time because she was acting just like the other dogs. I would definitely use Lorelei again and recommend her to someone who needs a sitter”
“Charis (and family) did a great job with our two fur babies. We were very concerned leaving them behind for the first time but after visiting her we felt comfortable leaving them with her. She sent us pictures the day after we left and had them all cleaned up (I know they were a mess after being in this wet nasty weather) and ready to go with more updated pictures the day we picked them up. Thank you!”
“I left my dog with Maria for 8 nights while on a family vacation. I couldn't recommend her enough if you have a small old dog. She took such great care of Napoleon and he had a blast at Maria's house with all the other dogs. Maria is caring, provided daily updates (pics/videos), and is very detail oriented to ensure all dogs are cared for. We will definitely be booking with Maria again for our future boarding needs.”
“James was fabulous with our Ace. As a senior dog, he's a little bit of a slow mover but James made sure he was well cared for and we will definitely book him again when we travel.”
“Alisha, Joshua, and family took wonderful care of our dog while our family was out of town for two weeks. We were nervous to leave her for so long but our nerves were immediately calmed when we met them and, further, received regular updates with sweet photos of our dog looking right at home with them. Alisha even went above and beyond and drove her home while we were navigating customs, long term parking shuttles, and the ferry home after a very long travel day coming from Southeast Asia. We had a happy, well cared for dog waiting for us when we arrived. Highly recommend this lovely family and will definitely reach out again for any future trips we need to take without our scruffy gal ❤️”
“Mike was a true gift during a very emotional and busy time. With family in town for my father’s funeral, I needed a peaceful place for my dog Bo to stay for a few days. Mike and Shari welcomed him into their beautiful, woodsy home—with picture windows that Bo immediately wanted to look out, and a calm, comforting vibe. When I picked him up at the end of his stay Bo was a relaxed and happy dog! Thanks guys!”
“Scooby was treated like a king! Kayla’s kids always made sure he was nice and comfortable. Her husband took him on runs and he was made to feel like part of the family. We will definitely use Kayla again.”
“This was Shadow's second stay with Jenn and he was so excited upon arrival I don't think he noticed when I left. I got plenty of pictures and updates and Shadow look like he's having a great time. I highly recommend Jenn.”
“A friend recommended David to me, and I’m so glad they did! My schedule is incredibly hectic, but they were so patient, understanding, and kept me updated with great communication the entire time. I absolutely loved getting all the picture updates. Most importantly, my pup came home so happy and he made some new friends. I highly recommend!”
“Our dogs had an AMAZING experience with Bailey and Kyle! They were so welcoming and loving to our fur babies from the moment they met, and it was beyond evident that they are true dog lovers! They shared pictures with us throughout their stay and kept us up to date on how much FUN they were all having. In all seriously, our dogs were sad to leave! This was the most comfortable I've ever felt while away on vacation...our dogs were in such good hands!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Celia and her family treated Roo like one of their own, and she came home happy and relaxed. We felt completely comfortable and will absolutely book with Celia again.”
“This is our third time with Rachael, and our dog gets so excited when she realizes where we are when I drop her off. Rachael is so communicative and puts us at ease with pictures videos and updates. We are so grateful we found her!”
“The best people I’ve ever left Arbor with. They really went above and beyond to make sure she was comfortable. Sent pictures regularly. Even gave her a bath and brushed her! Will 100000% book again!”
“Thank you for taking excellent care of Plum!! It was a big help knowing she was in great hands with people who care about her. She’s looking forward to returning! Thank you!”
“It was my dog's first time boarding since I adopted him in January. He was so excited to see Kha and even happier to be able to run around a big yard with her dogs. Kha took great care of Wolfgang, treated him like he was past of their family and sent me lots of pictures and videos of his time there.”
“Karen took amazing care of our 13 year old girl. We got plenty of photos and videos of our babe just having a great time. She was so happy in each photo! Thank you Karen and Matt!”
“Alexa was a fantastic care taker to my two border collies. I got frequent pictures and videos and it was clear my dogs settled in early! They were right at home. Alexa was incredibly communicative throughout their stay and I would absolutely use her again in the future. Your pets would be lucky to stay with her!”
“One of the kindest & sweetest sitter we have experienced! Julie is so fantastic & wonderful that I can tell little Tobi had a great weekend with her! She kept us updated each day so we were able to put our minds at ease. Thank you so much and hopefully we can book you again!”

“Anna is the best sitter I could ask for. I trust her 100% to make sure my cat LeRoy is cared for when I’m out of town. She is responsive and keeps me up to date. This is the third time Anna has sat for LeRoy and it won’t be the last! I adore Anna!”
“Khayl was a really excellent sitter for our two kitties Magic and Pepper. The detailed updates with photos, videos, and information really put my mind at ease over vacation and I knew the kitties were getting VIP treatment! I will definitely book with Khayl again and cannot recommend her enough.”
“Kimberly is a fantastic cat sitter! Highly dependable and communicative, she enables me to have a peace of mind while I travel for work knowing that my cat (Xander) is in excellent care”
“Codi was so incredibly thoughtful and proactive! My cat Felix did so well with her. He is such sweet introvert and he actually came out while she was there. Complete shock he did that but so happy he felt so comfortable. Thank you for everything Codi!!!”
“Amanda is reliable and trustworthy, and my 2 cats were very comfortable with her nearly immediately. One is afraid of everyone and made friends with her right away. I highly recommend her.”
“Mary checked on our two cats while we were out of town. She did great! We appreciated all her updates and pictures. We will definitely reach out to her again for future pet sitting needs!”
“Natascha took wonderful care of our two cats while we were away and kept us updated with pictures every day. She even noticed some issues with our snake and chinchilla and was happy to take care of those for us so we didn’t have to bother our neighbor. It meant a lot knowing someone dependable was there to check in on them.”
About: I am new to the world of cats but determined to make your loved one my best friend! I have a few neighborhood cats that I feed and am always looking for more experiences with pets of any kind.
“Victoria was wonderful! I have two cats who are usually very shy around new people, but they were comfortable around her. She took pictures every time she came over, and from the very first day, she had the shy cats interacting and playing with her. She was communicative throughout and took excellent care of things, including giving photo updates on how much they’d eaten. I would definitely book her again in the future.”
“Gradee & Jerry took great care of our cats while we were gone for a week! They boarded one cat at their house & did drop-in visits for our other two cats. Jerry also gave our senior cat her insulin injections twice a day. We highly recommend them & will definitely use them again anytime we have to go out of town. Thank you!!”
“Princess help me out tremendously for my 30 day trip abroad. Did two weekly visits and followed the -admittedly- overly specific instructions required for all of my cats including their food, litter-robot, and more. Made my trip so much less stressful!”
“Constance was quick to reply from the very beginning even when I first reached out and had never used Rover for a cat sitter. She took the time to come over for a meet and greet to get the layout and to learn our cats feeding schedule and where the toys and food and trays were located. I loved receiving the little notes and photos of our cat after every visit. These check ins were peace of mind that our cat was being well cared for while getting some snuggle and playtime in each day. Thank you so much for caring for the well-being of our cat while we were away. We will contact Constance again since she did great!”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life!

About: I've been caring for dogs since I was a teenager, and they've always held a special place in my life. I had my beloved dog, Chico, for 16 wonderful years before we eventually lost him to old age and health issues. Although he was small, he had a HUGE personality and was basically my sidekick. He went just about everywhere with me: dog parks, camping, hiking, beach adventures, road trips, and yes, probably more dog-friendly pubs than the average dog. 😂 At the beach, his absolute favorite activity was sniffing every single piece of driftwood like it contained critically important information. And after all those adventures, he was happiest snuggled up next to me under approximately 47 blankets. Caring for Chico through every stage of his life, from an energetic young pup all the way through his senior years, gave me firsthand experience with how much a dog's needs can change over time and how much love, patience, and companionship they deserve along the way. Over the years, I've also become the go-to person for friends and family when they need someone they trust with their dogs. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pup's personality because, as any dog person knows, they ALL have one! After 16 years with Chico, our home definitely feels a little too quiet without a dog in it. Getting to welcome other people's pups into our lives and give them some of that love we've been missing is something my whole family really enjoys. So while you're away, there's a pretty good chance your dog will be getting spoiled with attention over here. 🐾 My schedule is very flexible, so I have plenty of time to spend with the pups in my care! My main daily routine is getting my kids to and from the bus stop, which is close enough that we can easily walk when needed. I'm home throughout most of the day, so pets in my care won't be spending long stretches of time alone. I have plenty of flexibility for boarding, daycare, walks, and drop-ins, and I'm excited to fill some of that extra time caring for new furry friends! Your pet's safety and comfort will always come first! In my home, pups are welcomed into our everyday family life and treated like one of our own. We have a spacious, fully fenced backyard where they can safely get outside throughout the day. We currently don't have any pets of our own after losing our beloved dog, Chico, after 16 wonderful years together. We definitely miss having a pup around and love getting the chance to give our furry guests all that extra love and attention while they're here! I'll follow your dog's feeding, medication, potty, sleeping, and other care instructions as closely as possible. I also understand that some dogs settle in immediately while others need a little extra time and space to feel comfortable, and I'm happy to follow their lead. When caring for pets in your home, I'll treat your home and your pet with the same respect and care I'd want someone to show mine. I'll follow your instructions closely and always make sure doors, gates, and other areas are secure. And of course, expect photo updates! I want you to be able to enjoy your time away knowing your pup is safe, comfortable, and well cared for.
“Reanna took wonderful care of my golden while we were having work done at our house. She patiently helped him recover from an upset tummy and provided ample cuddles and outdoor fun! I know he'd love to stay with her again!”
“Thanks to Kayla & family we had a great first time experience on Rover! Super responsive, accommodating, and let me bring Frankie for a visit to meet them the day before. Her kids loved on our dog and she sent pictures of Frankie snuggling😊”
“Thanks to Cara we had a wonderful first-time experience on Rover. Yoshi did his first Rover doggy day care and he had a blast. Cara took great care of him and her little girls took to Yoshi. He came home and promptly passed out. Expecting a lot more play dates in the near future. It's awesome to find another Corgi Mom. Thank you, Cara, for welcoming Yoshi into your home. We loved the photos you sent to us throughout the day and hope to add more memories.”

“My puppy had a great time with Naiomi!!! Naiomi sent lots of pictures and updates. I could tell my pup was having a great time, and I felt comfortable leaving her with Naiomi. We will totally use her in the future.”
About: I have had pets my entire life dogs, cats, rabbits and horses. I am comfortable around every type of dog, however prefer to sit smaller dogs up to 25lbs. I have a mini dachshund who is 16 years old, who misses having friends around. I am familiar with puppies through seniors. I do work from home 4 days a week. Currently I have an unfenced yard, I use retractable leashes to maintain safety when outside. Your fur-baby will get daily walks and plenty of love. I work from home 4 days a week, giving me the opportunity to give your pet plenty of attention in an adults only home with one dog for companion time. We do daily walks around the neighborhood, in a wooded area or at Manchester state park. I don’t currently have a fenced yard, outdoor time will be on retractable leashes for potty breaks, time on the fenced deck, and daily walks using your pets regular leash. Should pets need to be left home unattended I will ensure everyone is in safe, separate locations close enough companionship but not mischief. Safety and well cared for is my goal.

“We have a newly adopted senior dog with severe separation anxiety after the loss of his previous owner. Leaving him home alone proved unsuccessful. In searching for a solution we found Jennifer and Alex. We are so relieved Jennifer and Alex welcomed Jett into their home and provided a safe, loving, fun place. He socializes with their pets beautifully and we get to enjoy the texted photos showing him happy and at ease with their three dog pack.”
About: I have a deep understanding and genuine love for animals. My approach involves creating a comfortable and safe environment for pets, ensuring they feel secure and happy my home or in their own home. I tailor my care to each pet's unique needs, whether it's providing extra playtime, administering medications, or simply offering companionship. With a keen eye for detail, I pay close attention to specific instructions and routines, ensuring a seamless experience for both the pet and their owner. Your furry friends are not just clients to me; they become cherished companions, and I take pride in fostering a bond built on trust and affection. I work remotely so your pet will have my full attention. I am available to let them out throughout the day and a daily walk! In both my home and my clients' homes, I prioritize the well-being and comfort of the pets under my care. When sitting in my own space, I ensure a pet-friendly environment with designated areas for play, rest, and meals. Daily routines are maintained, including regular walks, playtime, and adherence to feeding schedules. In clients' homes, I strive to replicate the familiar surroundings and routines the pets are accustomed to. This minimizes stress and anxiety, providing a seamless transition in their owners' absence. I adhere strictly to any special instructions, dietary needs, and medication schedules. Whether in my home or theirs, the foundation of my pet care service is built on creating a secure, loving atmosphere that promotes the overall happiness and well-being of the furry companions entrusted to me.

“Charis (and family) did a great job with our two fur babies. We were very concerned leaving them behind for the first time but after visiting her we felt comfortable leaving them with her. She sent us pictures the day after we left and had them all cleaned up (I know they were a mess after being in this wet nasty weather) and ready to go with more updated pictures the day we picked them up. Thank you!”
“James was fabulous with our Ace. As a senior dog, he's a little bit of a slow mover but James made sure he was well cared for and we will definitely book him again when we travel.”
“Mike was a true gift during a very emotional and busy time. With family in town for my father’s funeral, I needed a peaceful place for my dog Bo to stay for a few days.

When I picked him up at the end of his stay Bo was a relaxed and happy dog! Thanks guys!”

“Our dogs had an AMAZING experience with Bailey and Kyle! They were so welcoming and loving to our fur babies from the moment they met, and it was beyond evident that they are true dog lovers!

This was the most comfortable I've ever felt while away on vacation...our dogs were in such good hands!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Celia and her family treated Roo like one of their own, and she came home happy and relaxed. We felt completely comfortable and will absolutely book with Celia again.”

She took great care of Romeo, sent me photos and updates and was easy to communicate with. My dog is small and he got along with their much larger dog. I highly recommend Brianna as a caring dog sitter.”
“Thank you for taking excellent care of Plum!! It was a big help knowing she was in great hands with people who care about her. She’s looking forward to returning! Thank you!”
“Pepper did an overnight after a meet and greet in preparation for a longer future stay with Kirsten. This was Pepper's first time away from us. Was happy to have Pepper surrounded by a nice family and fun pups to play with! Kirsten is thoughtful and responsive in communicating. She said Pepper did adapted well and sent pics. So nice to have found a dog sitter champion close to us. Will definitely return. ??”
About: I’m a lifelong dog lover who friends and family regularly trust to care for their pets while they travel. I have two friendly golden retrievers who truly love other dogs and are gentle, playful, and well-socialized. I’m experienced with a wide range of personalities—from high-energy pups who need lots of playtime to senior dogs who prefer a calm, cozy environment. I treat every dog as if they were my own, paying close attention to routines, feeding schedules, medications, and individual quirks. Your dog will enjoy plenty of love, supervised play, and a safe, comfortable home where they’re never just “watched,” but genuinely cared for. I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pup is in good hands. I work from home, which allows me to provide consistent supervision, frequent potty breaks, and a calm, structured environment. I’m available for both short-notice needs and bookings well in advance as you plan your travels. My goal is to be your go-to sitter whenever you need reliable, loving care. I have a large fully fenced yard and two friendly, well-socialized golden retrievers who enjoy playing in the backyard by a game of chase and/or fetch. I closely monitor playtime and all interactions, follow each dog’s routine, and can crate, separate, or provide quiet space if needed in order to keep all dogs in my care stress/free, comfortable and happy. Safety, comfort, and trust are always my top priorities. This isn’t just a place where you drop your dog for the day or for a trip. It’s a calm, loving environment where dogs feel safe and loved while you’re away. I choose thoughtful exercise and enrichment to keep them happy and give them plenty of opportunities to burn energy and excitement.
“Thank you MIranda!! I was a very high maintenence customer and Miranda stood by me the whole time! She sent regular updates on potty walks and poops, nap times, and meal times. She was so gracious and flexible with my up and down schedule. She is an above and beyond sitter! Your fur baby is in good hands.”
“It was my dog's first time boarding since I adopted him in January. He was so excited to see Kha and even happier to be able to run around a big yard with her dogs. Kha took great care of Wolfgang, treated him like he was past of their family and sent me lots of pictures and videos of his time there.”
“Jassem & Josh were the perfect dog sitters! It was my first time using Rover and they ensured that I felt my dog was in good hands during his entire stay. They were communicative, understanding with my lengthy messages :) and sent us pupdates which we looked forward to daily. I don't think my dog wanted to leave their house. I will absolutely be using them again!”
“Karen took amazing care of our 13 year old girl. We got plenty of photos and videos of our babe just having a great time. She was so happy in each photo! Thank you Karen and Matt!”
“Alexa was a fantastic care taker to my two border collies. I got frequent pictures and videos and it was clear my dogs settled in early! They were right at home. Alexa was incredibly communicative throughout their stay and I would absolutely use her again in the future. Your pets would be lucky to stay with her!”
“What sets David apart from other sitters is his core understanding of dog psychology and behavior. All of his many video update included some explanation of the setup, situation, or behavior in the video. He can easily make dogs feel welcome, safe, and understood.”
