We went on a vacation for an extended time and June provided an excellent service so we could enjoy our time without any concerns. She sent us the pictures with brief details everyday and we could definitely tell that our dog has been in a good hand at the end of the stay. We definitely want to be a regular. Thank you!

Jessica was very responsive and took care of my dog well. My dog was happy and played a lot when he was boarded at Jessica’s. Thank you Jessica for accommodating our last minute request.

Dorothy is amazing and we couldn’t recommend her enough. She took the time to get to know my pup and her needs, and sent many updates while we were away. We are happy to have found someone we trust so much!

Elena and her family were great. From the start at drop off, I could tell our pup would be treated like family. She was really good about keeping me updated on how things were going on a frequent basis. She sent us some great pictures and a few brief summaries of how the day went. Two weeks is a long time to take someone else’s dog for any reason but I’m really happy it was Elena and her family. Will try to use her again if they’re willing.

Once again, Derek and his family were the perfect caregivers for my dog Bear. They are kind, caring, and willing to do all of the small, nice things for Bear that I do. I am so happy to have found Derek, as we have several long trips planned in the next few months. We will go away knowing that our sweet pup is in the best hands possible. Thank you so much, Derek!

Jackie is beyond amazing. My very anxious fur baby has become so much more comfortable (and happy!) with overnight stays thanks to the patience Jackie and her family have taken to make her feel at home. There’s no one else I trust to take such great care of her!

Melynda was amazing, she responded quickly when I messaged her. She made sure we had a meet & greet prior to our dogs stay which was great so we knew everyone would get a long & so she had a more thorough understanding of the care our dogs needed. We got picture & text updates each day which I loved so knew my babies were happy. They came home very happy & tired even our little 6 month old corgi was napping all night which is rare for her lol!

Natalie was awesome! She was so kind and understanding with a few last minute changes of my booking. I appreciated her flexibility and willingness to take care of my pup while I was out of town. She sent plenty of pics and videos showing the dogs playing. Her dog was super sweet and playful and the perfect playmate for my dog. I would definitely recommend her and book with her again.

We had Maverick, our 7 months old Husky, with Shauna & Peter for 10 days..They took such a wonderful care of Maverick and shared many photos and videos every day..They took Maverick for multiple walks and lot of outdoor activities. He was very much loved and enjoyed his stay with Shauna, Peter and their daughters. We are glad we found them on Rover. They are wonderful! I would highly recommend Shauna & Peter and would definitely have them to take care of Maverick next time!

Tricia was awesome! Her dogs are so cute & you can tell she really loves animals as this is all she does so her main priority is your babies. We got so many texts while we were away which we thought was amazing. Knowing our babies were happy & doing good made us feel really good about leaving them with her. They loved her & she loved them too & my little Bella was super tired when we got her back and napping all night which was such a relief. We can’t wait to have them stay with her again and I’m sure they’ll be excited too!

About: With many years of caring for my own dogs and my friends dogs. Whenever I care for the dogs it is a pleasure and fun! I always find time for my dogs or the dogs I care for. By showing them a good time either by walking or just hanging out they reward you with so much love. I am respectful, thoughtful and ready to provide top notch service. I enjoy going on walks, playing and being with different breeds and sizes of dogs.

I originally took my 3 yr old rescue pittie, Canela, for a meet and greet at a local boarding facility. They did not leave a good impression, and Canela hated it. Then I checked Rover and found Derek. It was a no brainer to have her stay with Derek's family (instead of in a sad kennel with who knows what kind of attention), and the cost was about the same. He's been caring for dogs through Rover for a while and fully explained how things would go for the meet and greet, dropping her off, and picking her up. With Derek, Canela was treated as a member of his family. I got daily updates and pictures, and a video of her playing with their sweet dog, Ellie. I couldn't ask for a better first experience, and I will definitely seek out Derek the next time we find ourselves needing pet care.

Tyler did a great job taking care of my two dogs. He played with them every day and made sure they got plenty of enrichment, and made sure to send a lot of pictures and useful updates. He was also very flexible and kind when a flight delay caused us to need to push the pick up time a lot later. I highly recommend Tyler and only have good things to say about him as a dog sitter. We would happily work with him again in the future!
