“Mikayla and Alen were amazing and so accommodating. Our pup enjoyed a fun weekend with them. They were very flexible about pick up and drop off and they sent frequent updates. You won’t regret using them for your dog sitting needs! We will definitely be back.”
“Amazing! Responds quickly and is flexible. Luke loved staying with her family and not sleeping in a kennel or crate. Lots of pictures of him relaxing on the couch. Would book again!”
“Our long weekend away was the first time we've had to leave behind our 6-month-old mini doodle Sam. We were a bit nervous but Xiaofan set us at ease immediately. She provided the friendliest and safest home away from home we could ever wish for our pup. Xiaofan went above and beyond in every respect. Also, she is so very kind, and so generous with her time and energy, and she really got to know Sam! Our pup got lots of attention and exercise. And Xiaofan kept us updated with a steady stream of pictures and text messages. This was a perfect boarding experience and we'll definitely have Sam stay with Xiaofan and her lovely family again in the future. Recommended without reservation!”
“I always worry that Cheese comes on a little too excited when she first meets people, but Dalyce seemed super prepared. Cheese came in for the meet and greet and after a good sniff laid down to chew on one of the toys she provided for visiting pups. Communication was great and she sent lots of updates and photos. Will definitely book again!”
“Reesi and Tanner made themselves right at home with Sindy and her family within a few minutes after arriving there. We were a bit concerned about how they might adjust in a new place with new people, but we soon discovered we didn't have to worry at all. We were able to leave them for the day and not worry about a thing. Sindy even sent us several pictures of them throughout the day to let us know they were safe and sound while we were able to enjoy our 4-year-old grandson's birthday party in another state. We highly recommend Sindy when you need someone to care for your pets while away!”
“Mike and his family did a wonderful job taking care of our Bernese Mountain Dog. They send lots of photos and really treat her like one of the family, she has the best time there and I know she is being well cared for, highly recommend.”
“Sara was an absolute delight! Warm and welcoming, my large breed pup did great with her and her two dogs; I received regular, daily updates with pics. I will be utilizing her services in the future!”
“Luiz was quick to respond, has a wonderful home and yard that is dog friendly and safe. His family is lovely and I know my pup was cared for, entertained and loved during her stay. I couldn’t have asked for a better weekend home for Daisy Mae. Thanks Luiz.”
“Amanda was great! She was calm and gentle with my Sadie and made me feel comfortable leaving my puppy in her care. I received multiple photos and notes each day from Amanda, keeping me abreast of what and how Sadie was doing. It was very clear that she understands the needs of dogs and their owners and made the entire Rover experience a wonderful one. I will be using Amanda again!”
“This was first time using a dog sitter for my 12 yr old Roxie. Would highly recommend Melissa as she made me feel very comfortable from the initial greet and meet all the way thru the 6 days she had Roxie. Received daily text and pictures on how Roxie was doing!!! Will be using Melissa in the future!!!”
“The booking for Gojo’s stay was very last minute and Sergio was able to accommodate us. Gojo had a blast at Sergio’s over the weekend and I would definitely rebook with Sergio. Thanks so much!”
“Williana did an amazing job with are dog Gizmo. She kept us updated every day with pictures and letting us know how he was doing. We were afraid he wasn’t gonna eat, and she got him to eat. She made him feel comfortable. They went for walks and Gizmo got to enjoy being in the nice big back yard. Gizmo also made a new friend Ripley. Would definitely leave Gizmo again. Thank you so much Williana for taking such good care of Gizmo!”
“Emily is the sweetest person ever!!! She went above and beyond and made sure my pup had the best stay ever! I am new to the city and to Rover and was very uneasy at first on having someone new watch Kingston for me but Emily reassured me everything would be ok. Emily kept me update everyday throughout the day with videos and pictures of Kingston. He absolutely loved playing with her boys and I could tell he was in great hands. I could tell Emily and her family was giving him a lot of love and he felt right at home. I will definitely be booking Emily again as she made this the easiest process ever and was very considerate of my mine and Kingston’s needs. Thank you for everything!❤️”
“Philip did a great job watching my dog Tucker. He provided updates and pictures, and read and followed my instructions about his care which made me feel comfortable while away. I’d recommend him!”
“Kayla and Michael were awesome! They sent lots of pictures and kept us updated on our boys. They had a nice big yard that our dogs loved. Our boys came home happy and healthy. We will definitely use them again when we are back in the area!”
About: In addition to my own 2 dogs and all of the family and farm dogs I grew up with, I have fostered rescues at various times over the years. I have a fenced backyard and my boys (both neutered) are calm and friendly fellows. I'm a mindfulness coach that works from my home. Most days I can be found meditating, reading, or hanging with my two boys Farley (old man) and Fawkes (young man). Lots of snoring dogs here with the occasional community bark at around dinner time. I have a fenced in yard where they pups are free to roam, an enormous dog bed, and a free range policy within the house. I can, of course, follow any crating practices that you use at home during your friend's stay.

Henry always has the BEST time with Laura. I got so many pictures of him doing his visit, and he was so happy and comfortable for his stay. Laura is my go to sitter whenever I need someone to watch Henry, and I know he's being loved on and cared for like a part of the family.

Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
