“The dogs literally brought me a leash today. I rarely walk them, so I credit Danielle for "spoiling" them with walks, toys and adventures. Super easy to work with, many photos, great experience.”
“Jessica is the best person to watch your dogs ever! I almost didn’t want to write this to gatekeep her and how amazing she is! We had to leave out of town last minute and Jessica was so sweet and attentive and allowed us to drop him off early in the day! Throughout our puppy’s entire stay she sent pictures and was very communicative which was great especially for this being our first time leaving our puppy without a family member in which we were nervous! Jessica is family to our puppy Ice and he had the happiest time with her and ever broke out of his shell of being shy around other dogs! Jessica is the literal dog whisperer and I will definitely be using her services again after this 100000/10!! ❤️”
“Dale was great! Sami will definitely be back! Dale sent pictures, videos and texts multiple times a day, and she looked happier and more playful each day. We were nervous about leaving her, and how she would react. We got Sami 3 months ago from the shelter, and she usually barks at anyone new, but she climed in Dale's lap like he was an old friend, and we neww she would be fine. We have another trip planed in a few months, and Sami will definitely spends that time with Dale!”
“Adelina is great! Always keeps us updated and is very accommodating, our puppy seems to have lots of fun and I can trust she is being looked after very well and is in safe hands. Thank you!”
“Daisy had a great time with James & Winnie. Will definitely rebook another time. He provided photos and updates about Daisy was doing and didn’t keep her locked up like most dog sitters.”
“Terra is amazing. This is the second time our Harper has stayed with her in the past 9 months. Harper loves playing with her 2 dogs also. Thanks again Terra! Also thanks for the bath too!”
“Jacob and Family were great. Our dog Harvey had a great time playing with the boys, and we looked forward to the daily pupdate telling us all about the fun Harvey was having. Would definitely use again.”
About: Hi, my name is Erica and I am obsessed with animals lol. Ever since I was little I have had all sorts of pets from cats, dogs, rabbits, birds, hamsters, and even bugs! But being a dog mama has always been my favorite 🥰 If I could have all the dogs in the world I would, but for now I have four and I love my fur babies so darn much! They are so sweet and playful with other dogs, so I thought this would be a fun way for them to have some friends around 🥰 I’m a stay at home dog mom so I’m home 24/7! Your pup will have our undivided attention at all times 😊 I might even send an obnoxious amount of pictures and videos throughout the day haha We have a clean fenced yard with lots of green grass to run around and play fetch in! We also have tons of healthy treats and home cooked dinners for the dogs or a custom meal for your pup depending on what he/she likes ❤️
“10/10 would recommend!! My dog Moose absolutely loved Mia because she felt like she was at home and loved her to pieces while I was gone. Great communication and also a plus she kept sending me pictures which I love.”
“Anthony watched my Italian Greyhound Rocco while I went on a weekend trip. He was very easy with communication and Rocco had a blast. He introduced him to squirrels in real life and came back happy with smiles. :-)”
“Hannah was wonderful! We met at a dog park a few days before so we (and our dogs) could meet and it was obviously a good match. She took care with Kage's meds and was mindful of his arthritis. Kage got several walks every day, which he loves, and actually played with her dog, which is highly unusual! She sent updates and photos and he did really well. He is a rescue and has never been left except with my daughter, so I was reluctant to leave him especially going out of state. Hannah was wonderful with him and he seemed to enjoy his stay. I will definitely have her sit again. Thank you!”
“We had a last minute change in our original plans, and I reached out to Corlena to see if she had any availability to watch our dog for the weekend. She was so prompt in her communication and we were booked with her immediately. Drop off went great; very quick and easy, and our dog had no time making himself at home. We received picture updates of him relaxing in their spacious yard and being walked. Pickup was just as smooth. It was a great experience and I will definitely book again. Thank you so much Corlena for taking care of Finn and easing our minds while we were away for the weekend!”
About: Loving, dependable dog care tailored to your pup’s age and personality. From playful puppies to gentle senior dogs, I provide safe walks, fun playtime, and attentive care—plus photo updates so you never miss a tail wag. I currently work Monday through Friday 8-5 but between my stay at home wife and I we will have eyes on your fur baby 24/7! I have a fenced-in backyard with two separate sections, providing a safe space for play, exercise, and keeping dogs separated if needed. Additionally, can keep them in crate if necessary.
About: As someone who has traveled a lot I understand the need to find trustworthy care for our precious pets. I would love to help ease your mind knowing they would be well cared for. My schedule and lifestyle are very flexible. I have the freedom to be home or gone from home as often as needed to care for your pet. I have a fenced in yard with lots of room to roam. I also live in an area perfect for walks and play. I look forward to providing detailed attention to your pet.
“I booked Kirsten fairly close to Thanksgiving to watch my two dogs. I was nervous because we've only ever had in-home pet sitters and this stay would be at someone else's home. Kirsten was great. She met with the dogs for a meet and greet ahead of time so they were familiar with her when they were dropped off. Over the course of 7 days, I received pictures four of those days. I would have liked to hear how Thanksgiving went since this stay was over the Thanksgiving holiday but they are dogs, so I can't ding Kirsten for not spending any additional time to send me pictures during the holiday. The dogs made it back with all of their eyes, appendages, and were well fed. I wouldn't hesitate to utilize Kirsten's services again.”

“Chris was so good with my pups. He took care of them as if they were his own. My 3 dogs loved playing with him. He was very patient and made sure that they all got fed and that there were no accidents. My dogs were well cared for when I left them boarding in his house and whenever he would do drop in visits my dogs were excited to see him. He would also give them treats. Overall great experience!”

Abilene dog parents share their Rover experiences
Erin was absolutely amazing with our dog Skye while we were on a week-long cruise. From the moment we dropped Skye off, we knew she was in great hands. Erin kept us updated, which really put our minds at ease while we were away. It was clear that Skye was comfortable, happy, and very well cared for. When we came home, she was her normal, playful self—which says everything about the love and attention Erin gave her. We’re so grateful to have found someone we can trust like Erin. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!
