“Brianna was great. This was my first time leaving my dog with anyone. He looked very relaxed and comfortable. Her communication was great. I enjoyed the pictures.”
“I am a true helicopter mom with my little doggie Toto. Amanda was just the best at making me feel good about leaving Toto with her. She sent pictures and comments often so that was a big plus. I will be using her and nobody else from now on. Love her!!”
“This was my first experience using Rover and someone besides family to watch our German shepherd. I was worried about him getting along in a new place. Turned out, he had a great time. I was sent pictures of him playing. Now that he is home, he looks a little bored! Thank you to Sharon and Michael. I am planning on using your services again.”
“Cadey & Jacob were incredible! They were the kindest people and took such great care of our dogs! They took them on all kinds of long walks and loved on them. Plus they sent plenty of pictures throughout their stay, which was fun to see and reassured me our dogs were in excellent care! Couldn’t recommend them more! Thanks for taking such great care of our boys!”
“I’m so happy that we found Lisa and Joe to mind our two pups while we were in Anchorage. They took great care of Ruby and Chance, made them comfortable in their home, and provided updates. Lisa is very responsive and easy to work with. I highly recommend them!”
“Crystal met all the needs of our two puppers. Communication was excellent and both doggos had a fun time. We will definitely use Crystal the next time we need to board our fur babies.”
“Our dog seemed to enjoy her stay. Great yard for play, and neighborhood for walks. Kaitlin gave great updates during the stay and was flexible with us for drop off and pick up.”
“Trey took in my very high energy husky mix last minute and was amazing throughout the six days that I was gone. Trey shared photos/videos of my dog and kept me”
“This was my first time to ask someone watch my puppies as TWO 5 months old Siberian Huskies which are super energetic and still on training phase. Andrea seemed to know dog’s characteristics already and she probably expected how my puppies will be. However, she took care of them so good for two nights without any problems and I had no worries during whole time. I am not sure if it is coincidence but puppies’ behaviors seem to be better with physically and emotionally after Andrea! I highly recommend anyone Andrea’s care for their dogs. Thank you again, Andrea!”
“Fantastic dog sitter. Emily clearly cared for our dog like it was one of her own. Ivan was very happy and healthy when we picked him up. We will definitely be using Emily again!”
About: When I was around 12, I started taking care of my neighbor’s chocolate lab whenever they went camping. Ever since, I’ve known that caring for animals was a passion of mine. When I was old enough, I worked at an animal daycare for a year. Right now, I work 8:30–5:00 for a travel design company, but I can do walks during my lunch break, as well as check-ins, boarding requests, and feeding appointments. These days, I mostly help take care of my family and friends’ pets, and I’d be so happy to help care for yours too! I am a part time retail manager during the week and am a barista in the mornings on weekdays which i get off at 1 pm, so I have lots of time in afternoon. I think the biggest thing is this communication between the pet owner and the sitter. Any and all expectations will be met and I strive to go above and beyond.
“It was my first time using Rover for my dog and would 10/10 recommend Ryan to watch your pet! He gave constant updates, sent pictures and made sure my dog was well cared for. He was also very accommodating to my schedule and plans when dropping off and picking up my pet. Will definitely book with Ryan again in the future!”
“She is awesome and she send pictures of my dog and letting me know how the days go. She walked my dog along with her dog. They both get along well. I am happy!”
“Ashley was great! She sent photos and updates every day. She has a big house with a big fenced yard. Also a very cute basset hound puppy. Thank you Ashley!”
