“Tricia watched my 2 cats for a week and a half. She wasn't just a sitter, she LOVED on the kitties and the kitties loved on her and her 2 sweet kids as well! Her home is very clean, nice, very warm and homey feeling. She has all the accommodations needed to watch cats and dogs! She kept me posted with lots of pictures and updates which made it so much easier to relax and not worry while on vacation!”

“This was our dog's second stay with Deana and Gerald. They again took wonderful care of Savannah. They go out of their way to make sure she feels comfortable and are willing to deal with her little quirks. It is obvious that they love dogs! We are grateful to have found Deana and Gerald and highly recommend them!”

“Tasha and Joseph were awesome with my dog! I was updated daily with tons of pictures. Also, my dog got sick while in their care and they handled it perfectly. They were extremely responsive with updates and took great care of her. They even followed up after to make sure she was doing well!”

“Amanda and Mike were super welcoming and we felt very comfortable leaving Dolly with them for the weekend! They have two labs of their own which made me confident they knew how to handle our high energy girl. They sent lots of pictures and Dolly seemed to have a great time!”

“Jane was great Penny. We really appreciated her pictures and it looked like Penny really enjoyed her time with Jane. Would recommend and definitely will use her again!!”


“Karen was amazing! This was our first time using Rover since getting our sweet pup and Karen put all of our worries at ease. We will definitely be using her again!”

“Matthew was amazing. I’ve only had Oakley for two weeks and am still getting to know his habits, on top of the fact that he is already 85 lbs, but none of that bothered Matthew. He sent daily pictures and confirmed that all was going well. He is very relaxed and Oakley got along very well with his three dogs. Matthew has a very large backyard and a 100’ lead that was great for Oakley since he loves to just lay outside. I highly recommend Matthew and will be using him again.”

“Monte did a wonderful job keeping tabs on my pup! He was kind and welcoming with the introductions, as well as his furry companion. Definitely will be contacting Monte again in the future.”

About: I have been pet sitting since I was in high school. I have experience in dog walking, watching pets at my home or theirs, and volunteering at local shelters. I'm currently working full time, so I am available nights and weekends to board your pet. This is to ensure that I can give your pet the attention they deserve! I have a huge fenced in yard and also 5 dogs of my own, so your pet will surely get lots of love and exercise at my home!
“Eliza took on our dogs on a short notice on a holiday week . And was AMAZING!!!! She sent us updates and pictures of our dogs and took great care of them. We highly recommend and will use again.”

“Amy is awesome!! Hazel had a great day playing with her and other new friends. Hiking, playing ball, chasing birds and running to get her zoomies out. This was a great experience. We recommend Amy very highly.”

“Chrissy did great with my Willow! I was at a loss with having people watch her due to her anxiety and rowdiness but while she was with Chrissy she seemed to get plenty of play time and I got photos while she was there! I’ll definitely be using her again! Highly recommend.”

“RYAN is our super thorough dog boarding expert. Mavericks and Goose had a long stay over the week before and during another holiday weekend. We appreciate it very much!”

“Cori and her family treated dreamer like family. She had a great time there and was spoiled. It was my first time using her and she kept me informed with pictures and videos. I would definitively use her again.”

“I highly recommend Taylor, Brian, and their sweet boy, Shiloh! This was my first time leaving my rescue Scout, and I wasn't sure how she'd do. They took excellent care of her and sent updates and photos throughout my trip. Scout and Shiloh hit it off right away, and I think being in a home with another dog, rather than a boarding facility, helped Scout adjust to being away from me. This was a great experience from start to finish.”

“Bradley was amazing with Chinook and Apache! They had a great time during their stay—Bradley kept me updated with plenty of pictures, and the boys looked so happy when I picked them up. Now they’re both passed out asleep at home, which tells me they had a fun and active time! I’ll definitely be booking with Bradley again. Highly recommend!”

Alexandria pet parents share their Rover experiences
Jobe and his girlfriend were amazing with our 2 dogs! We went out of town for a week and were very nervous about boarding them, but it worked out so well. Jobe sent multiple photo/video updates each day, which I didn’t have to ask for and I absolutely loved getting! It gave me peace of mind that our pups were happy and being given the attention we hoped they would get. They were so worn out from how much fun they had when we picked them up. He even sent them home with a new toy, even though they broke one of his. I will definitely be asking Jobe to watch our babies again in the future! Thank you for loving our dogs like your own!
