“Thank you so much! She is BEST sitter for us. She sent many photos for us. So We could know how our fur baby were doing. My dog had a very relaxing stay and is very good condition the next day. We'll definitely request again next time.”
“We recently had Hiromi watch our dog, during a two-day family obligation, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. She was incredibly kind, responsive, and flexible with our schedule. Our dog was comfortable from the start, and it was clear he felt happy and safe—he was excited to return the second day! It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. Highly recommend Hiromi to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”
“Marco had a wonderful day! I really appreciated all the updates and photos throughout his stay. It was great seeing that he got a nice walk and lots of attention. He came home happy and relaxed, which is always the best sign. Thank you for taking such good care of him — I would definitely book again!”
About: I have been caring for dogs for over 40 years, off and on and for the last 6 years. I work part time from home and my teens are homeschooling so I have time at home to play and care for your loved ones. In my home, pets are family and they are treated as such! I have a big, enclosed backyard for lots of playtime fun and doggy door access from the house so they have plenty of places to roam and explore. I have 2 small dogs (Coco 5yrs. is a Pug Mix and Luna 4 yrs is a Pug), both rescues. Luna we raised from 3 months old. They love meeting new friends and playing in a pack! I have been using Rover myself, for almost eight years, whenever we go on vacation and I love this service! My dogs have so much fun when they are away with their sitter family and I want to help other dogs and families feel the same peace of mind while they are away! I am lucky enough to be able to work part time from home and assist my homeschooling teens. Because I am home everyday, I make time to get outside often. I include all of the dogs in our playtime and the more, the merrier! I live in a house with a fenced in backyard. I have easy access to the backyard with a doggy door. I allow dogs on our furniture. They are part of the family, after all. My home is dog proof and I gate off areas they are not allowed, such as kids rooms. Dogs sleep in my room, either in a dog bed or kennel, whatever you prefer. I have extra beds & blankets as well. We spend time doing outdoor play a few times a day.
“Armando saved the day for me when I had to last minute go into the office. My dog is very playful and active which makes it hard sometimes to find a sitter that is ok with that. Thankfully Armando has a dog with similar energy as mine so they had a great time playing all day. Armando was very communicative and responsive. i will definitely be using Armando again! Thank you!!”
“Arriyanna was one of the best dog sitters I’ve had. The communication and care for puppy was amazing! Her professionalism didn’t go unnoticed. I will be a repeat customer. Thank you so much.”

“Already rebooked! This was my first time leaving my pup with a sitter. He can be really anxious so I was worried but about an hour after I dropped him off, Elaine sent me a video of him playing and thriving. I was so happy and relieved. She continued to send me numerous updates all day long! She really tends to each dog and goes out of the way to ensure they have a good experience. Would highly recommend!”
“I had to find a sitter for my dog at the last minute and Staci was available and very accommodating! She is super nice, attentive and asked questions to make sure she could give the best care possible. She sent me pictures throughout the day and my dog was as calm and relaxed as I have ever seen him with someone new. I will definitely be using her again!”
About: Hi, I’m Zionya and I absolutely love animals!! I lived on a farm for a few years and really enjoyed caring for our lovely farm animals. I have spent the last few years house sitting and pet sitting for many friends and family. I’d like to show your pets the same love and attention. I provide a safe and loving home, I’m very attentive and patient. I also offer grooming services if needed. Your pet will always be in good hands. When I am house sitting I treat the home as if it were my own, with respect, allowing you to enjoy your vacation, business trip or family visit without worry. Please let me know what your needs are. I aim to provide the best service tailored towards your individual needs. I currently have a lot of flexibility as I work from home. I usually will spend the entire day watching and hanging out with the pets. After work we will have walks, play time an dinner. They will have all my love and attention until bed time. I have a fully fenced front and back yard with 3 young small female dogs to keep your dog company and I also have a few crates, toys and beds available to help them get comfortable. We watch the dog YouTube channel, which my baby girl absolutely loves!!
“When our pet, Rico, is happy, we are happy. Rico is timid and avoids other dogs. Every time we have used Rover, he has fit in nicely with other dogs present. Thank you, Traci. Your chihuahuas have given Rico new amigos and I think I heard him bark in Spanish.”
“Heather was absolutely wonderful watching my dog, Hugo! From the start, her communication was clear and reassuring. She was punctual, attentive, and treated Hugo like her own. Hugo can be a little shy at first, but Heather’s patience and kindness helped him warm up quickly. She sent me regular updates with photos and messages, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. It was clear Hugo was happy, well cared for, and enjoying his time with her. When I came home, Hugo was relaxed and content — a true sign of how comfortable he felt with Heather. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter. I’ll definitely be booking with Heather again!”
“Sylvia was amazing! She kept me updated on my two dogs throughout their stay in her home and made sure they got plenty of playtime ! I would highly recommend her and plan to rebook !”
About: I grew up with dogs and cats and can understand how they are feeling. There is a huge park nearby that I can take them on their daily walks and exercise if opting to stay at my place. In general, I love taking care of them like they are my own. I work full time remotely on East Coast hours, which means I finish my work early while spending more time to take care and play with your fur baby! I live by myself and can fully dedicate and commit my time to your dog or cat's needs. I have a plenty of space for your fur baby along with a fenced patio if caring in my home. I can easily crate your dog if needed. I stay with your fur babies and take lots of pictures throughout the day to make sure they're having a good and relaxing time with me.
“Vivian was really great with our pup. She’s responsive and provides those updates that always put a smile on our face throughout the day. Our pup seemed to be comfortable there and looked like having fun too! Would definitely request for her services again.?”

Tracie was honestly amazing. I was a little nervous leaving my pet at first, but she made the whole experience so easy and stress-free. She kept me updated with messages and pictures, which I really appreciated, it felt good knowing everything was going well. You can tell she genuinely cares about animals and takes her time with them. When I got back, my pet was happy, relaxed, and clearly well taken care of. I’d definitely trust her again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter. Thanks tracie.
Nicholas and Carole are the best! Our 8-month old high energy dog Fozzy loved his time there and slept so well at home afterwards, and even the next day! Nicholas took him on fun walks, exercised him with play time in their backyard, and let him run and play with their dog Bruce. They sent frequent photo and videos during the day. They even got him to go potty right before I picked him up, so that I wouldn't have to do that after we got home late at night. We hope to book them again in the future!
Armando was terrific! My 35 lb 2-year-old had stitches and needed to be kept calm and supervised for a couple days that we were unable to stay home with him. Armando was available on short notice and asked the right questions about what sort of care was needed (one of his dogs had just gone through a similar experience). His dogs were very sweet and he took terrific care of my boy both days, lots of play and socialization while keeping it nice and easy. Stitches came out on schedule after and he's healing up nicely. Thank you Armando!
Hiromi was wonderful with our mini goldendoodle Mozzie! She was very generous letting us walk Mozzie to her door to help him get settled (as this was one of his first Rover experiences). We received lots of photos and video of Mozzie snuggling on her couch and playing with the other dog she was watching that day. She fed him lunch and walked him around the grounds of her gated apartment complex so he could get out for some exercise. Hiromi was also flexible when we had to make a later pick up time than we expected. Mozzie is already looking forward to his next visit 😀 Thank you Hiromi!
