“Xu and Sam were absolutely wonderful. We left our senior girl with them for the weekend and couldn’t have picked a better home. They truly took care of her like she was their own.”
“anays and francis were so great with our little nervous girl! love that they requested a meet and greet before watching her for 4-5 days. they asked a lot of questions beforehand and provided us with updates throughout her stay. they’re both knowledgeable and easy going which was great for our dog who can be a bit nervous in new places and with new people. they’re great about only having one dog at a time if that’s what your dog needs, definitely will have our pup stay with them again!”
“Yamile and her family and her pets have just been amazing. Yamile is Extremely responsive, followed a special diet, took her for walks , gave me frequent updates and generally took great care of my little girl while we were away!!! In fact she seemed sad to leave when it was time for her to come home. We have already booked a follow up stay!! Thanks yamile - you have been a life saver:)”
“Carisa did a wonderful job. She took really good care of my dog Simba. She was really attentive, and everything went off without a hitch. I could tell Simba was comfortable and happy, and it just gave me so much peace of mind. Overall, I’m really grateful for how smoothly it all went.” I would highly recommend her.”
“I cannot express my deep gratitude and appreciation for Balaji. He treated my Mocha like a family, she was treated like she is their own. Lots of playtime, exercise and love. As a bonus Mocha found her soul sister in Mocha ( Balaji’s own) .It is like a playdate everyday! He has the ideal set up to host furry babies. He sent me lots of photos throughout the day, it felt like I never left her side. Balaji exceeded our expectations, I think no one can top the services he provides. I picked Mocha up and she looks immaculate and she smells so good, one of the proof she was well taken care of. He even sent toys ( which Mocha adores❤️) and treats. Balaji, you are the best!!!”
“Kathy is an amazing dog sitter. This is her second time watching Clark and she and her family always do a fantastic job of caring for him. He loves his time there. I would 100% leave Clark in Kathy’s care again.”
“This was the third time that our puppy stayed with Maureen and again it was great. Our puppy is always happy when arriving at Maureen's house and we believe this is a good sign. We now consider Maureen as our official 'pet-sitter'! Thanks Maureen for being so supportive!”
“First time using Rover! Yessica was awesome ! We have a Covid 4yr Multipoo who is very needy. She was amazing from the day we met her and her beautiful sights who were going to care for Wesley while we were on vacation. Yessica sent us pictures and videos through our trip. We knew he was in great hands! Highly recommend Yessica and fam. Will definitely be rebooking.”
About: Growing up, my mother would buy and sell dogs. It was quite traumatic. I vowed to be better than her. I've had my dog Odin for 8 years, and I will happily care for your pet as well. Fortunately, my trauma is your gain. I'm well versed on most dog breeds and I know how to research breeds if something comes up. You can sit back and relax because my care for your dog will be the best. My commute is only 15mins away. So I take care of the dogs in the morning, then I care for them again on my lunch break. Then again after work and throughout the night with my own dog, Odin. I have several dog beds and comfy spaces for them to rest. I have a zone in my home that is for dogs only. They can grab a toy from the toy box or they can look out the balcony window as shades are always open for your pupper!
“Michelle was a great dog sitter!!! We did a meet and greet before to make sure the her dog and our dog meshed okay. That put me at ease going into our vacation. Also, it gave us some time to get to know each other. We got daily messages and pics that were fun to see. She has a fenced in yard and deck where the dogs like to pal around. Rosie seemed right at home at her house. Michelle is very communicative and very on top of your pups needs. I can tell she’s a true dog lover!”
“I just picked up my dog from a 12-day stay with Bob. This was our second time using him & both times everything seemed to go really well. Bingo had a great time playing with other dogs; I received numerous videos so I could see how much fun he was having, how many chin rubs he got, & even where he liked to snooze. Bob seems to have a way with dogs.”
“Shweta took great care of Libby and was able to accommodate a very last minute 2 night boarding request. I got pictures and updates from her throughout the day and pickup and drop-off were very easy to coordinate. Thanks again!”
About: I've had cats and dogs since childhood, so I have a life-long experience with dogs of different sizes and breads, German shepherd, Husky, Chihuahua, at this moment I have a wonderful maltipoo kind of bread. I’m currently not employed and can take care of our small friends full time. Usually waking up at 7:30 and going to bad at 10:30 if the schedule for walking different I can fit it into mine and make adjustments. I live in apartments on 1-st floor, but don't have a fenced yard. Right by my building locates a good walking zone for dogs, the area is treated for ticks.

Peace of mind! That is what Michele gives you when she watches your pet while you're away. Excellent, responsive communications during our vacation. And thoughtful care -- taking our dog on numerous walks and spending time with her doing mentally stimulating activities. Can't say enough good things about Michele!
Anastasiia did an amazing job taking care of our pup while we were out of town and I highly recommend her for boarding! She made drop off and pick up a breeze and she sent me plenty of updates throughout the week which was so nice! We will definitely be booking her again for our next trip. Thank you so much Anastasiia! :)

Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
