“Edith was wonderful,she kept me updated everyday with pictures and text messages. We were gone for ten days and I could enjoy my trip knowing she was taking care of and giving the best care to my two dogs. It’s great to feel free to travel and know that your pet is well taken care of. We look forward to working with Edith again and we’ll recommend her to our friends.”

“Excellent! I really appreciated all the updates and photos from Stefanie. Great communication and flexible with drop off and pick up times. Will definitely use again in future.”

“Our 2 dogs stayed at Sarah's for about a week earlier this month. The stay was great! We got daily updates, including photos and videos. They have a fantastic large fenced in yard where they could safety run and play. They had lots of playtime, but also lots of snuggles and love. They were both clearly enjoying their own vacation at Sarah's while we were gone on ours. It was so refreshing to know they were so well cared for while we were away- we have already rebooked them for our next trip!”

“We are so grateful to have found Stephanie to watch our two highly energetic golden girls! She gave them lots of play time, exercise, and snuggles on the couch. She was kind, patient, and easy to communicate with. Highly recommend and we would love to bring our dogs back to her 🥰”

“Katie and Samuel were great to Jarvis and sent us several updates throughout his stay. They also have a gated backyard to help with energetic dogs. I would highly reccomend!”

“Lindsey did a fantastic job of taking care of Coco. During my trip, I had travel delays and Lindsey was more than accommodating to help with last minute changes. She gave me frequent updates on Coco and I felt very at ease knowing that my fur baby was in very good hands. Would highly recommend!”

“The kids were happy. Good communication, lots of photos and video. It was a great place with a good yard for them to play. She took good care of our perrhijos.”

“Paula took great care of Bear and met all the needs for him. She made sure Bear took walks everyday and occasionally updated me. It looked like Bear had a pleasant time there.”

“Refine and her family were great hosts! Communication was great and I felt comfortable leaving Blaze with them! If Blaze gets better with potty training I would love for them to keep him again! He was wore out coming home this morning for sure!”

“We had a wonderful experience! This family took excellent care of our mini goldendoodle while we were on vacation—so kind, attentive, and thoughtful. They sent plenty of pictures and updates, which gave us total peace of mind and showed he was happy and having fun. Highly recommend!”

“We left our dog Toffee with Jenny and her family for 5 days while we attended a work conference, and we could not have asked for a better experience! This was our first time using Rover and leaving Toffee with someone we didn’t know, so we were definitely nervous at first. Jenny immediately made us feel comfortable with constant updates, pictures, and videos throughout the entire stay. Toffee had the absolute best time running around in her huge backyard, playing with her kids and her two dogs, and getting so much love and attention. It truly felt like he was treated as part of their family. You can tell Jenny genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. We were able to fully enjoy our trip knowing Toffee was happy, safe, and so well cared for. We are beyond grateful and will absolutely be booking with Jenny and her lovely family again in the future. Highly recommend!”

“Mary and her family were absolutely wonderful sitters for Grizzy! They took great care of him during a cold snap, making sure he was warm and comfortable. Mary sent wonderful updates and absolutely adorable pictures, and I would recommend her to anyone!”

“Sure! Here's a thoughtful review you can leave for Ryan and Martha: --- Ryan and Martha were absolutely wonderful with Yogi! From the start, their communication was excellent — clear, prompt, and always thoughtful. They made dropoff and pickup incredibly easy and were very flexible with the timing, which we really appreciated. Throughout Yogi’s stay, they sent us regular updates and the sweetest photos that clearly showed how happy and comfortable he was. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. You can tell they genuinely care about animals and treat them like part of the family. We would absolutely trust them with Yogi again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for kind, responsible, and communicative pet sitters.”

“Nicole was amazing. She did a wonderful job caring for my dog. He loved it and seemed sad to leave. I appreciate her flexibility and all her pictures and communication. I highly recommend her!!!”

“Val watched My dog Bentley over night and he seemed to enjoy himself. He was. He was nice and tired when I picked him up so I'm sure he had a good time with the other dogs as well. I will definitely use Val in the future to watch my pup.”
“Olivia watched my cat, Tony, for 8 days, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She made me feel completely comfortable leaving him in her care alongside her two cats. I received daily updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that Tony was well cared for and happy. I would absolutely recommend Olivia to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. 10/10!”

“Hailey was amazing with my two cats! From the photos she shared, I could tell that they were completely happy and comfortable with her. She sent detailed reports and lots of photos, which gave me peace of mind that the kitties were doing well while I was away. Thank you, Hailey!”

“Brenda was an amazing caretaker of my cat! She was consistent, comfortable to work with, and exceptionally attentive to pet care. Brenda was very accommodating and reasonable when I was faced with unexpected emergency delays that changed my return time, for which I am particularly appreciative.”

“Leah did a great job checking in on my cats while we were away. She was communicative, super nice, and followed through with what we asked. She sent lots of pictures of our cats when she checked in on them. When we got home, nothing was out of place and our cats had a clean litter box plus plenty of food and water. I definitely plan on booking Leah again in the future.”


“Taylor was great with my cat. She communicated well and did everything I asked and more. Mathis loved getting to hang out and cuddle which made me feel better being away!”


“I have not met a better pet sitter than Allison! She is thorough and will make sure your fur babies are taken care of. I would trust her to watch my kitties any time she is available! 😊”

“Heather is such a fantastic person who really goes above and beyond for your pets! She has taken such great care of our two senior kitties and is always incredibly responsive, detailed, and proactive. She has made sure to really know our pets and what behavior is and isn’t normal- even making an additional visit to make sure one of our kitties wasn’t sick! She is amazing and will continue to be our tried and true ❤️”


“Natalie is such a great sitter! Our cat is very shy around new people. It took a couple visits, but she decided she really liked Natalie. She’s the best!”

“Taryn was excellent. It was our first time using Rover for drop-in visits. Our cats loved Taryn and she took great care of them. She was a great communicator and went above and beyond. We will definitely use Rover again because of our wonderful experience with Taryn.”

“Jenna and her girls took such great care of Merlin! Jenna always responds in a timely manner and has a flexible schedule. I got daily picture updates on how he was doing which was much appreciated. Merlin will definitely be visiting them again! Thank you so much 😊”


About: Dogs are my favorite people - I attract dogs wherever I go. I have owned two dogs in my adult life-English Bulldog and Goldendoodle. Currently, I have a 10 year old goldendoodle. She loves everyone. I am a teacher and have off during the summer. I enjoy hiking, camping, biking, running, reading, gardening, and cooking. I’m currently on summer break, so my days are very flexible. During the school year, I am available before 7am or after 4pm. I have a very friendly goldendoodle. I have a big yard. I am willing to provide lots of love, playtime, and walks for your dog. I can be active with your pet or sit with them and love them up. Whatever you need, I can provide.
“Gen was very responsive. She answered questions quickly and sent a lot of great pictures. My dog actually had a healthy amount of play and sleep instead of being overstimulated all day like she would at a traditional day care.”

“Julie did great job making me and my dog Stella Watson very comfortable from meet and greet thru 1st daycare visit. Stella had wonderful time playing with Zilla and zooming around the yard and house. Will be hoping to visit again soon!”

“Hi Elizabeth, I just wanted to say thank you for taking such great care of Fox! I really appreciated the updates while I was away. It’s clear you gave her lots of attention and care, and I could tell she was happy and comfortable with you. I’d absolutely trust you again and would happily recommend you to others. Thanks again!”
“I just can't say enough about how amazing Sarah and Zach are and how much it means to us to have our active social 1 1/2 year old lab in their care. They understand him, take care of him as one of their own and make it so easy to coordinate and communicate.”

“Sue and Molly took wonderful care of my dog, Bentley. I could tell he loved them too! They sent lots of photos and were willing to share updates any time. He was exhausted by the end of each day. I appreciate their flexibility as well.”

About: Hi! I have cared for dogs and had them as part of my family for my entire life, from a reactive spit-fire Jack Russell Terrier to a gentle giant Saint Bernard. Currently, I have a five-year-old Golden Retriever named Goose. I love seeing him play and interact with other dogs. He does a great job of matching another dogs energy. Working from home allows me the time and flexibility to give dogs the love and attention they deserve. My yard is an entire acre where dogs can run, roll, and sniff around. Despite having such a large yard, I still make it a point to take dogs out for walks. Not only do they love the exercise, but it's something I enjoy too. My experience with different breeds and temperaments has taught me how to create a balanced environment where dogs can thrive, stay active, and be happy. Outside of my own home, I also volunteered at a humane society for over three years caring for cats, feeding animals, cleaning kennels, and walking dogs. It would be an honor to get to know a part of your family and ensure they having a wagging tail all day long :) I work from home so I have a very flexible schedule! My routine with Goose is a 6:00 am potty break, an 11 am walk, a 4 pm walk, and two potty breaks in the evening. I would be willing to do more or less walks / potty breaks for your dog(s). I have tons of space at my home (it is an open acre yard with an invisible fence). I am open to following steps that make you and your dog feel safe. I have tons of toys and beds to make your puppy feel comfortable.

About: I have four dog nieces and nephews that I love very much and occasionally watch. I check in on my neighbors dog when needed. I successfully dog sat a Great Dane for a week who I fell in love with. I have a large fenced in yard that is the best for zoomies. I work from home M-F with a flexible schedule to take the dogs out to play or for a walk. The summer months I may be less available during the weekends but during the winter I will have more availability. I have a fenced in yard that is large enough for dogs to run. There are no other animals or children at this house making it a relaxing and peaceful place if the dog needs a more chill environment. I do have two doodle nephews that can come to play if the dog needs to socialize.
About: We have been loving and caring for dogs for a long time. Big and small dogs; young and old. Our son and 7 year old dog are welcoming I am currently working from home and Bryan works part time. Our son is home schooled at this time, therefore, we have time and energy to help other dogs and other families We have a large yard in a quiet neighborhood; part of our yard is fenced and other part is open for additional exercise. We also walk our dog daily.
About: I treat animals as though they would be my own. I grew up around both dogs and cats so I know how to treat them very lovingly. I am usually spending time with my daughter every other weekend. I have a loving holden retriever that i would like to get outside with more at the dog park. I look forward to getting to know each and every one of you and your pets and would love to help out as much as I can. I currently dont work and am doing online schooling so I have plenty of time to spend with not not only my pup but yours as well. I usually stay at home, but if I do go out to the store my pup comes with me for a car ride or we go out to the dog park.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10 or 11. I have had a dog growing up and am very responsible for caring for them and giving them what they need. I love all dogs and would love to give your dog the exercise it needs! I’m currently home from college and would love to work with pups over the summer! I’m pretty flexible on when and where I’m able to work! I have a dog at my home and I live right next to a park that I bring my dog to a bunch over the summer. My dog plays well with other dogs and would love some more company this summer!
“Robert is one of my favorite Tover sitters. He is incredibly professional and takes good care of my little peanut, Ziva. Gives walk reports and sends a few pix during the day. Highly recommended; I have referred him a few others. He is a busy guy - book early! Thanks so much🐾♥️🐾.”

About: Happy, loving, patient and playful pupsitters who have experience working as kennel manager, dogsitter, and lifelong dog lovers. We love and care for all creatures big and small and happen to love dogs as though they were our own children (and they are.) My partner Jessie and I share all dog duties in our house. Someone is around the house every day of the week, as Jessie often works from home, and our two pups are always home. We strive to never leave our own pups alone for no more than 4 hours so there's always time and room for bathroom breaks. And if the weather is nice we leave the backyard door open for them to roam free (in a fenced area). It is the most ideal place for a dog to have room to move about, activities to entertain, and loving caretakers to help them live their best life. We have a fenced in yard and plenty of space to roam, along with healthy wildlife distractions, fun toys, plenty of snacks, and generous room inside the house for everyone to feel cozy, warm or cool, and always nurtured.
“My little Westie loves Suellen and her two sweet dogs. They treat her like one of their own. It's great for me to be able to drop her off for the day, knowing she'll have fun and be safe.”

“It has been such a joy over the last 8 months to have Michelle walking our pup. She is flexible, reliable, and just a really good person, too. Great with our dog, even when she is naughty. Highly recommend!”

“Molly takes excellent care of my dog. She is communicative, very respectful of my home, kind to my dog, and ensures my dog’s safety every booking. I am lucky to have found Molly. I will definitely book again!”

“This was the second time working with Brenda. She did a great job again. I received updates and pictures with every walk/ visit and medication was administered according to instruction.”


“Be prepared for a very thorough prep meeting and detailed updates- like you may expect with a babysitter for a child. Allison wouldn’t be a good fit for someone who is looking for an especially quick key transfer; she takes this very seriously. She worked with my pup on reinforcing some of the training we were doing and communicated about her behavior in detailed notes. She definitely went above and beyond- exactly what you would want for your fur baby.”

“Michelle (and family) took excellent care of our dog while we were out of town for 2 days, even keeping her calm during a storm. Great communication, too!”

“I was nervous leaving our anxious dog with someone else, but Robert was patient with his interactions with Kipling and allowed Kipling to settle in at his own pace. Kipling had fun running around the fenced in yard with another dog and Robert kept us up to date with progress reports. Looking forward to the next visit where we can feel confident Kipling is being looked after.”

“David was great! He was open to meeting ahead of booking to make sure our pets’ personalities meshed. Throughout the stay he was very communicative and sent updates, and flexible around drop off and pickup. I’d definitely book again! 👏”

“Juan has great! He and his son were very attentive with our dog. We were sent pictures throughout the day, and given updates about how our boy was doing! He has very high anxiety with strangers, and he had no problem calming down and napping with this family! When booking, we were told another dog would also be in Juan's care. He made sure that was okay with us, and went above and beyond to make sure our dogs never crossed paths (as we don't know if our dog is good with others yet) If you need a sitter, Juan is a great option! Very flexible, kind, and an overall great influence on your furry friend!”
