“Ashely was amazing with Nalu! He stayed with her for 9 days and when I picked him up he was sad to leave! He had a hot spot that needed to be treated with medication and she was good with applying the medicine and it was pretty much healed by the time I picked him up. She gave me updates with pictures and videos throughout his stay too! We’ll definitely be asking her to watch Nalu again!”

“Our dog recently completed a 10 day stay and loves it here. Plenty of room to roam in an expansive back yard. Attentive treatment from a caring boarder. Plenty of social time with a few good friends including Jade’s own sweet dogs. What more could your very own “best friend” ask for?”


“Philly was wonderful with our pup. He was patient and caring towards him as well as met our anxious needs with calm and understanding. We are so happy with Leo’s care and will be booking with Philly again in the future!”

“Joe did a great job with my dog. He sent pictures and updates daily and gave me such peace of mind that my girl was well taken care of. Will absolutely be using him for boarding again.”

“Arielle was amazing!!! This was our first time ever leaving our fur baby with anyone other than family! She made us feel so at ease & remained in contact with us throughout his stay! She sent us pictures so we could see how he was doing & it looked like he was on vacation!!! She accepted him last minute & he came home so content & exhausted from his playtime! We have definitely found Opi’s home away from home!!! If you’re looking for an awesome sitter for your fur baby, look no further!!!”

“We had a great 1st time experience with Rover. Diana was friendly and attentive to our dog. She sent us photos and video updates which provided us with peace of mind. Our boy enjoyed his outdoor play time and stay. We recommend Diana.”

“Kathrine is an AMAZING sitter! I went out of town for 5 days and left my pup with her at her home. I immediately felt comfortable leaving her there when I dropped her off. She sent pics, videos, and updated me on all things (eating, pooping, etc.). Her dog, Ophelia, was the sweetest companion and I could tell her and my dog were besties from the pics she sent! They went on multiple walks a day, and even a weekend adventure! I will definitely be using Kathrine again in the future!”


“Great care. First time my dog was boarded over night. My dog was happy and very affectionate toward Miriam when I picked her up. Great communication so I felt very comfortable”

“Daisy had a great stay! She looked happy in all of the update pictures. She handled her medications for me and her special food needs. Daisy was calm and happy on the way home after her stay. Will definitely use her again.”

“Our experience with Zuri was wonderful from start to finish. She was able to take our two dogs on short notice for a few days. She was incredibly accommodating to the needs and energy levels of our 8 year old malipoo and 1 year old boston terrier. She was able to provide medication for our maltipoo. Zuri was very flexible with pick up and drop off times which made leaving and returning from our trip a breeze. She kept us up to date with adorable pictures and videos of our dogs enjoying extra love, cuddles, and play time. Both dogs felt right at home cuddled up on the couch. Our boston terrier especially loved her dog Bonnie and her daughter. She and her daughter provided a safe and loving home for our babies while we were away! I would highly recommend Zuri if you ever need a dog sitter during the day or overnight”

“This was our first time boarding Ginny with someone who wasn’t family or close friends, so I was definitely nervous. Dezarae was so great and sent daily updates with photos and videos without us having to ask, which meant a lot. Ginny can have some separation anxiety with me and my partner, but the consistent updates (and little details about how she was doing, especially with crate time) really helped ease my mind. Ginny clearly had the best time. She got comfortable with Dezarae’s dogs quickly and loved being part of their routine. We also booked pretty last minute and she was very flexible and accommodating. Ginny came home happily exhausted in the best way. We would absolutely book with her again.”

“I was nervous leaving my boy since he’s never been away from home. Tianna was so kind and caring of Max. Sent me pictures and videos, updates throughout the day. Definitely will book again.”


“Thank you, Carlos, for taking such excellent care of our dog. In just 24 hours, Bentley received great attention, was walked and trained, and even enjoyed a trip to the dog park. He returned home as if he'd had a full day of fun! Carlos truly deserves to be in the premier category.”

“My beagle stayed with Madlin for 4 days, had an issue with another arrangement while I was out of town and Madlin was able to handle everything (picked up my dog and helped both my beagle's stress and my own with great communication). She was a life saver for me and my dog loved her, would recommend her to anyone in the Salem area.”

About: I have taken care of family/friends dogs since I was little, I have also taken care of my own since I was a teenager. I have two puppy's one who is a year and 6 months who is my best friend, I also have an 8 month old. I love all animals. I can help train a bit with basics if need be, am very patient and caring. I am able to take on walks, to the park or just hang out if needed. I can also give baths if they need one. I understand all dogs are unique and have different needs and am willing to help. I currently work part time, Tuesday through Friday. So I will have plenty of time to check in on, take on walks/ to parks and just play with your animals. I can also bring my puppy along for other dogs if you would like so they have someone to play with or just learn to be around other dogs! I can either take care of your pet in your home or in mine if needed. I do have a fenced yard and a puppy of my own. Who is friendly with other dogs and can play/ keep your dog company if you would like. I know how crates work and am willing to learn the routine you have for your animal. (Food/crate/sleeping habits).
“Michael did a great job with Kermit. He is compassionate and contacted us with concerns. Kermit was treated like part of the family. Frequent photos were really appreciated.”

Albany pet parents share their Rover experiences
My dog had so much fun with Shelby. He has a lot of energy and she managed to tire him out every day. She communicated well and sent lots of great pictures. We got delayed on our way back and she held on to him for longer than planned. I will definitely book with her in the future when I have the need.

Ben’s stay at Steve’s home went very well. Seems he adjusted nicely and when I came to get him he wasn’t overly anxious to leave and continued to play with Steve as we discussed how it went in my absence. I would definitely ask Steve and Jackson to dog sit again. They were very gracious. Thank you for taking care of Ben.
