“We had such a wonderful experience! Dior felt right at home from the moment she arrived and was so well cared for during her stay. We loved getting updates and could tell she was receiving lots of attention, love, and even some extra treats. Especially because Dior was in heat we were so happy she was comfortable. The thoughtful gift keychain was such a sweet surprise and really showed how much they care about both pets and their owners. We came home to a happy pup and couldn't ask for more. We will definitely be returning and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and attentive to watch their dog!”
“I’ve probably used 50+ rovers over the years between my dog Betty and my previous and Pamela is without a doubt one of the best I’ve used. She truly cares about your pet like its her own, sends plenty of awesome videos and pics, and takes excellent care of them. She will definitely be my new go to!”
“So responsive to our texts and communication was great. She treated Ranger like a part of the family and send us lots of photos. Ranger got along with her dog and cat and we plan to have Ranger stay here again in the future”
“Judy was wonderful, she sent me regular updates and pictures of my dog. Also, my dog is very nervous and skidish and she did a great job making him as comfortable as possible. I will definitely be using her again.”
“Alba is amazing! She took tender loving care of my poodle Jackson. She took Jackson for long walks and played with him in her yard. She even took special care of him during the Fourth of July fireworks as he was scared and she comforted him. She’s great about sending videos so you can see exactly what your little loved one is doing all day. I highly recommend Alba!!!”
“Teddy seemed to really enjoy his stay with Alissa. He looked happy in the pictures that she sent us and he came back home not mad at us for leaving him. Thank you so much for taking such good care of teddy!”
“Rachel Rachel was absolutely wonderful with Nilo. This was our first time using her services after our regular sitter had an unexpected emergency, and she was kind enough to meet with us right away. Nilo can be a little challenging at times, so I made sure to explain his personality, behaviors, and needs. Rachel was incredibly patient, understanding, and caring from the very beginning. She took the time to make Nilo feel comfortable, took him on several walks, and it was clear that he felt safe and relaxed in her home. It means so much to find someone who genuinely cares for your pet, and Rachel did exactly that. We felt at ease knowing Nilo was in such good hands. We are so grateful for her help and would not hesitate to book with her again. Thank you, Rachel, for taking such great care of our Nilo! ❤️ We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter.”
“This young man is is a life saver and I am truly great full. He has sat for me before but this last weekend was my son’s wedding out of state. My dog started having seizures out of nowhere and not only did he make us feel assured but took detailed notes and videos which were extremely helpful to the vet. He is reliable and I trust him now more than ever. Doggie is fine and we will be monitoring her. 1000 thank yous!”
“Denise is the best sitter she is animal lover, she is communicate with you and sending you pictures of your pet. I recommend her to any one and definitely I'll leave my baby with her any time i need it. Thank you very much Denise.”
“Wenxu and her husband are awesome sitters. They are very communicative, sent a lot of good pictures, flexible, and created a great environment for our dog. Would 100% recommend them!”
About: What sets me apart is the genuine care and attention I give to every dog I look after. I treat them like my own—with love, patience, and respect for their routines. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, and I’m comfortable with both puppies and senior dogs. I understand that each dog has its own personality and needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe and happy in my care. Since I’m not currently a dog owner, I pour all my energy and affection into the dogs I sit for. I also have a fenced yard, which gives dogs a secure place to play and relax. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and always keep pet parents updated so they can feel confident while they’re away. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy, and I make time for it on weekends and some weekday evenings. I’m usually available on weekends for boarding and daycare, and with advance notice, I can provide walks or care after 5:00 PM during the week. Since I don’t currently have a dog of my own, spending time with pets through Rover gives me the chance to enjoy their company and provide the attention they deserve. It’s something I look forward to fitting into my weekly routine, and I always plan my schedule carefully to give each dog quality care and attention. When caring for dogs in my home, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and part of the family. I live in a house with a fenced yard, so dogs have a secure space to play and get fresh air. I stick to their usual routines as closely as possible—feeding, walking, playtime, and rest—based on their owner’s instructions. I keep a calm, clean environment and always give plenty of love and attention. For walks and weekend daycare, I focus on making the experience fun and stress-free. I tailor walks to each dog’s energy level and needs, whether it’s a quick potty break or a longer walk for exercise. I also pay close attention to leash safety, weather conditions, and staying in familiar areas unless otherwise requested. Whether in my home or out and about, your dog’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priority.
“Vanessa and her family were very caring and accommodating toward my dog. She was immediately comfortable and treated like a queen the entire stay. Would absolutely recommend and, if I were not moving, would make her my first choice for dog boarding.”
“Sharon is a great dog sitter. Fortunately, her son was home for the holiday this week and he paid a lot of attention to Snowy. I received picture updates the entire time I was away and Sharon was very, very responsive to my queries. Will definitely use her services again!”
“Bridget was great! Super communicative and easy to work with! She was great about any of my crazy- puppy mom concerns and checked in throughout the day to let me know how it was going. Archie will definitely be visiting her again!”
“extremely reliable, consistently providing loving care and attentive walks, with excellent communication throughout the stay, ensuring my dog felt safe and happy even while we where away. Thank you Vanessa”
“Erica was great with my dogs. They were well cared for and nurtured. She kept me up to date on their daily activities, which gave me lots of comfort. Erica is very friendly and personable. I will definitely be a repeat customer.”
About: Have had dogs my whole life. I am very patient and kind to dogs. My wife and I have a fenced yard. Our last dog was 18 years old and we loved her to the end. I’m currently working 4 days a week at home so have plenty of time to play with the dog, feed the dog or let the dog outside to play. I can also walk the dog a few times throughout the day as needed. I have a fenced yard and work from home so can easily watch your dog in a safe environment and will be able to give your pet the attention it deserves.
“Jenna and Greg were fantastic! They were very flexible with drop off and pick up times and sent so many photos of Kali having a great time throughout the weekend! We already have plans for a second stay”
“Look nor more!! KAYLA and her wonderful family provided a secure, loving environment for our mother and son golden retriever duo!! Their young children were very sweet and loving to our pups, and Kayla was kind enough to text me pictures throughout their stay. The kids made it so much easier to leave them for the very first time! We would request Kayla and family again if we are ever in need. They have gained our trust!!”
“Krissy is an awesome pet sitter! She was so sweet and gentle with our two senior dogs. My dogs are both on several types of medications and she administered them several times throughout the day. I felt so comfortable leaving my dogs in her care. She sent me photos of the dogs everyday that we were away on vacation and gave me updates on how they were doing. I would definitely book with her again!”

Michelle is truly a dog-sitter superstar! We left our two sweet pups with Michelle when we went away for two weeks, and we felt more happy and comfortable on this trip than any other before knowing the dogs were with her. Michelle sent us daily updates, photos and videos of our fur babies playing in her backyard, going for walks, and romping with her own sweet dog. Our babies were truly treated like a part of her family!
We left our pooch with Alba for seven days! My daughter was so upset. Alba was fantastic. At the meet and greet, we could see that Alba is an experienced dog sitter. She sent us updates and pictures that put my daughter at ease. We enjoyed the whole vacation because we knew everything was fine back home. Alba also took our booking on short notice which helped greatly. I cant thank her enough!!! 100% recommended.
Kayla and her family were wonderful to work with. My family could truly enjoy our trip without worry, knowing Daisy was well taken care of. Kayla and her family welcomed Daisy into their home. We received daily pictures and communication. We will definitely be repeat clients! Thank you!
Cindy did great with Candy! Candy is definitely spoiled and needy most days but Cindy was able to meet all her needs and keep her content and resting while we were away on vacation. We enjoyed receiving little videos of her everyday and We will definitely use Cindy again in the future.
My husband and I recently needed a last minute pet sitter for our dog and Susan came through for us big time! Our girl Lexi had never stayed with people she didn't know but she warmed up to Susan and her husband immediately. They are super kind, trust worthy and provide a warm safe haven for your fur baby. She sent lots pictures and updates. We feel very fortunate to have found her and wouldn't hesitate to book with her again. Thank you Susan!
AMAZING. Melissa was very kind. Mandy had an awesome time. Melissa kept us informed during her stay with pictures. It made as feel at ease leaving her with Melissa. Definitely would recommend her to any pup needing a pet sitter. Melissa thanks again for watching our Mandy.
