“couldn't be happier with the help Melvin and his partner gave us, we were at a bind and they came to the rescue! On top of that our Moka was treated like family and they sent pictures regularly, we will definitely ask for their help later on. 1000% recommended !”

“Christina was great with our dog Asher! She was great at communicating and sent pictures of him to us while we were on vacation and showed us how he was loving spending time with their dog. They even sent us home with a new dog toy for Asher and he loves it. Thanks for helping us out! We will definitely request to book with them again.”

“Leslie is so patient and kind! It sounded like my dog was a little more rowdy than usual (suspecting due to new medication she was placed on) and Leslie appropriately reached out to check if I had tips or tricks to make her feel more comfortable. She reassured me many times to not worry, which was nice to hear she had the situation under control! Would definitely trust Leslie again to watch my dog!”

“Pam is a delight. I highly recommend. She is professional, kind, thoughtful, detailed with care needs, ensured Toby's safety, preferences had been provided and comfort. Pam was very prompt with responding. Provided timely updates with pictures. From our initial meet, drop off and pick up, I experienced such a loving environment and felt Toby was very much welcomed, cared for and had fun running with Pam's little fur babies. Pam's dogs and two cats are very social and adorable. Pam let him sleep in her bed at night knowing he does same at home. Toby returned home very relaxed and showed no signs of being stressed. She truly welcomed and cared for Toby as if her own. I already booked his next stay. Thank you Pam!”

“Jenn was amazing with our pup! This is the longest we have ever left him & I never was worried about him! I missed him for sure but that was helped with updates & pictures from Jenn! I also had so many changes I had to make to my boarding because of not knowing when our flights were going to be exactly & Jenn was so happy to help. My dog also ended up being on a 5 day course of antibiotics & she had no problem giving them to him. She was understanding of the whole situation. She was also very understanding with our pick up time not being set in stone because we were coming from the airport! I will forever recommend her & continue to use her for when we need a sitter!”

“We are so glad we found Felix! He took such great care of Kylo! This is the first time we've left him with someone other than family or friends, so we were a bit nervous. Plus we we're gone for 10 days! We picked up Kylo this morning and he couldn't be happier! Honestly, I think he might miss Felix!”

“SO so grateful to have found both Jacob and his wife through Rover - I think I suffer from far worse separation anxiety being away from my dog than she does being away from me (?) however, after meeting these two and their own four rescue dogs during a pre-boarding meet and greet, I had absolutely no worries that she would be in great hands. They were both SO kind, communicative, and welcoming. Their genuine compassion and love for dogs was immediately obvious, as was the fact that they both possess thorough knowledge of canine care and behavior. Wrigley even immediately recognized the house when I dropped her off and was so excited for her stay - that and the consistent updates/photos/communication gave me SUCH peace of mind and I will absolutely be reaching out for any future dog sitting needs. Thank you both SO much!!”

“This was such a great experience. So many fun updates with pictures. It was clear she was well loved and had so much fun with the other dogs there. She was absolutely exhausted after coming back and slept all day. Will absolutely be coming back for more services.”

“Sam kept Appa very happy. She sent pictures to show he was doing well. Immediately when we got out of the car, she engaged with Appa and it was obvious this would be a good place for him to stay. I would strongly recommend Sam and if I have a future need I hope she will be available.”

“Renee was able to board our 2 bulldogs over the 4th holiday on short notice and we are so grateful! She has a fenced backyard, works from home and was able to spend quality time with them so they weren't lonely. They had such big smiles on their faces the whole time. Will definitely come back on our next trip!”

Joe M.

“Our Kobe had another wonderful stay with Tatyana!! Tatyana takes the most amazing pictures and keeps us updated on his stay with her. Thanks for taking such good care of our fur baby 🐶 for us !!”

Wendy C.

“Molly was wonderful and took great care of my spunky toy aussie! My dog got along great with Molly’s dog, and my dog doesn’t always get along well with bigger dogs. Molly sent pictures and made me feel at ease while I was away. She also took my dog on plenty of walks, so my pup was tuckered out when she got home. Highly recommend Molly’s services!”

Kacie B.

“Ru was amazing! She didn't hesitate to agree to board my three month old Frenchie, and was super accommodating about last minute changes when we had a huge snag in our trip. Thanks for everything!”

Andrea F.

“This was our first time using Rover and our first time boarding our dog. Our dog can be timid of changes but Stephanie was great and our dog adapted well to her stay there. Stephanie was easy to communicate with and responsive and we look forward to her being available to watch our dog again in a few weeks! Relieved to have found an option for our dog she needs a home away from home.”

“Always does a great job. Reese loves your family.”

“Lauren was absolutely amazing with my 16-year-old Chihuahua, Ralph! This was his first time staying with a sitter instead of family or friends, and I couldn’t be happier with how it went. She kept me updated throughout the day with messages and photos, which really put my mind at ease. Ralph did great—even around her two much larger dogs, which was such a relief! Lauren created a calm, safe environment, and her communication was top-notch. I’m so grateful for the care she gave him and would 100% book with her again. Highly recommend!”

“Suzanne was so kind to take care of my Puppers for the day over Memorial Day weekend. She sent many photos and kept me up to date at least 3 different times during the day. You cannot go wrong choosing Suzanne to care for your furry best friends!”

About: Within the last few years, I've had plenty of experience with overnight dogsitting for family and friends. I've also been taking care of my family dogs since I was 11 years old. From feeding, to bathing, to running around the backyard, I've enjoyed every minute of watching my rescue dogs grow. I love all animals in general, and being a graduate student has prevented me from spending as much time with my pets as I would like to. As a sitter, I'd love nothing more than to give your dog the care and attention it needs! I have recently graduated from my Master’s program although will not be starting my full-time job until the new year. Until then, I am available most days during the week, and would love to devote this time to helping others take care of their pets. I am open to any kind of schedule, long-term or short-term. My partner and I live in a spacious first floor apartment with an un-fenced front yard. He and I are both animal lovers and would be happy to host your pet in our home.

“Kyra was very attentive, accommodating, and kind about Jessie’s quirks and needs. It was very helpful to see a daily update and photos as Jessie settled in with new friends and another routine. I felt like my special canine friend was well taken care of!”
