“Jesse was fantastic with Bear, sent photos while we were away and Bear was in great spirits when we picked him up. It was awesome for Bear to play with other dogs as well.”

“Jessica is fantastic! She is very loving, kind, and communicative! 1 of our 2 pups is special needs and she kept us in the loop with everything and sent pictures. Both puppies came back so happy!”
“Jack and Emily both appeared in happy Murphy photos during another great visit this week- his head resting on them, rolling in the yard, relaxing in his favorite spots in the house, getting petted. Murphy loves his vacation home and we feel lucky he is safe and so well cared- for!”

“What a great experience. We have never used the over night service before but will definitely be doing it again. Jordan and Nathan were wonderful and were so great to our Winnie. I am pretty sure she didn’t want to come home bc she had doggie friends at there house. They will be our only family we use for as long as they let us. Highly recommend. Thanks again.”
About: We've had 2 dogs who have unfortunately left us. Mickey was an 80 pound pit bull that I did everything with - walking, running, hiking,sleeping, traveling. I still miss him every day. One year after his passing we adopted a senior (9 yo) pit bull mix, Bella. Shortly after adopting Bella she was found to have heartworm. We were able to nurse her through the treatments back to health. Bella was a lazy girl who didn't have the energy level Mickey did but she was sweet and we spoiled her the 2 years we had her. I miss having a dog but my wife said "no more." Providing a service through Rover will help me get my "dog fix." Although I have used to pronoun "we" in my pet care experience that refers to our past 2 dogs. Going forward I will be the sole provider. I am retired so I have all kinds of free time to provide daily walks and the option for having overnight stays in our home. We have had dogs for 13 or so years and I am very capable in providing the care and attention to safely provide for them.
“Kim watched my 5-year-old Bulldog/Beagle mix for 10 days while we were traveling and we couldn't be happier. This was my first time leaving her and she unexpectedly had to have emergency surgery only 2 days before we left, but this turned out to be no concern at all. Kim knew exactly what to do, guided her through recovery, administered her medication, etc. Kim was easy to contact before/during the trip and, from daily photos/video she sent, it was obvious Beryl was having a great time and she was very happy/healthy when we picked her up. I would definitely use her again.”
“Emmy was awesome and super caring with Brownie. She immediarely welcomed him and made him feel at home. Her home has a really nice backyard with plenty of space for dogs. I know Brownie had a great time with Emmy and her family!”
“Stacey had excellent communication and took wonderful care of my dog Bunny. I appreciated the pictures and updates of my dog during her stay. I would absolutely use her again and recommend her pet sitting to friends.”
“So kind! Lisa kept me updated all throughout my cats time there, sending me multiple photos daily. She had fresh litter waiting and plenty of beds for them to lay in. She kept them company and showed them lots of love for me while I was gone. Communication was great and I appreciate all of her help. Would definitely recommend and book again in the future if needed. Thanks Lisa for your hospitality! 🐱”

William M.
“Bill M is an incredible lover of animals, both dogs and cats. I have known Bill for over 40 years and I have seen his love and care demonstrated all the time - with his many daily walks with his pet and with his loving interaction with the pet. But to Bill they are not pets, but members of his family and are treated as such. His calm demeanor and his gentle nature are perfect attributes for Bill to become a caregiver to pets with Rover.”
