“Jesse did a great job with our puppies. I can tell our boys are very happy and excited when they see him. Jesse has a very comfortable place for the dogs to stay and relax while we are gone and he treats them nicely.”
“I am beyond happy with Kelly. She took such good care of Molly. I received pictures everyday and Molly always looked so happy. Will definitely be using Kelly again to take care of Molly.”
“Chelsea & Derek did a great job taking care of our boys. Definitely nice to know our guys are being cared for like they would be at home instead of at a kennel.”
“Emma was great to communicate with, always quick to respond and sent me updates on how my dog was doing with pictures ☺️ My dog has a lot of energy but I was comfortable with the fenced in yard and knew he was getting attention. I would definitely use Emma 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.
“My dog seemed to have a good time while staying with Melissa! Melissa’s dogs were friendly and got along with mine at the initial meeting. The fenced in back yard was perfect for my dog who enjoys spending time lounging outside. Drop off and pick was easy and flexible.”
“Ashley was wonderful! Oreo had a great weekend with her. He can be nervous but she calmed him which was very reassuring for us! We would highly recommend her. Thank you again! Tina and John Duffy”
“I have a very high energy, 120 lb German Shepherd, and I worry about boarding him because of his initial impression. I cannot say enough good things about Jess & Christopher. They set up a meet and greet so we were able to meet them, and their dog, before his stay. They were flexible with drop off and pick up times, excellent communication through his stay, gave him medication as requested, and did everything possible to make it a great experience overall. I’m getting ready to book Coopers will definitely be staying with them again, and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a sitter!”
“Joan and Timothy were so amazing with our son! We were gone almost a full week for our wedding and it was such a blessing that we found them. It was clear from the moment we first met them that they were very experienced in dog sitting and their home was perfectly equipped and spacious for our boy. They made sure to walk through his entire daily routine with us when dropping him off and they provided us with daily updates, pictures and videos on how he was doing. He came back to us a smiling and happy pup. Would absolutely book with them again - thank you so much Joan & Timothy!!!”
“I booked Beverly because I thought she would take good care of my Lola while I was away. And she did. She messaged me almost every day I was away and sent pictures! Lola had a good time and got along well with Bev’s dog, Daisy. An added “perk” is the fenced in back yard where I knew Lola could do her “zoomies” safely. I didn’t worry about Lola getting good care while I was away. I highly recommend Beverly and would book with her again.”
“Carol was wonderful with Star. Being an old dog I have not left her with a non-family member in a long time. I felt very good leaving Star in Carol's care. Star even snuggled with Carol's other old dogs. I would not hesitate to use her again.”
“Danielle was excellent with Bob, and even was flexible enough to accommodate another night when I couldn’t get home! She is very communicative and sent pictures daily! I was totally comfortable knowing he was in her hands and would rebook in a second. Thank you!!”
“Tona and Wanda (the Girls) spent a week with Alena. We enjoyed seeing the pictures and notes Alena sent. The Girls were in great shape when we took them home. And Alena went out of her way to help with getting the Girl's crate ready to travel. We highly recommend Alena when you need to board your pups.”
About: I have been taking care of dogs both large and small, young and old, for as long as I can remember! I got my first dog when I was 3 years old, and have had a dog by my side ever since! I have dog sat for friends and family members with dogs of all different breeds, backgrounds and ages. My first job as a teenager was at a local dog kennel & vet office where I learned a lot about helping a dog feel safe and comfortable while away from home! We have a dog (35lb 2 y/o golden doodle) who absolutely loves making new friends, and a cat who keeps to herself but gets along well with other animals when she does come out to play. My husband works from home and my work schedule is flexible meaning the pets are not frequently home alone. I have a very flexible work schedule paired with my husband working from home most days of the week to prevent extended time home alone for any pets. We have a dog who loves to make new friends and a cat who is comfortable around dogs but tends to keep to herself. We have a large yard and go outside with the dogs (on leash) to ensure they stay safely in the yard at all times.

“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.”
