“Shashank was a wonderful dog sitter for Artie! He was very flexible with my last minute schedule and he was thorough in asking questions about Artie to make sure he provided a comfortable environment. I received consistent and fun updates throughout his stay. I can tell Artie really enjoyed his vacation! I would highly recommend this sitter and will be reaching out again.”
“Darcy and Dan took wonderful care of my pup! They asked very thoughtful questions during the meet and greet and are clearly huge dog lovers. I felt completely comfortable leaving my dog in their care. Darcy and Dan provided updates, photos, and a video throughout the stay. I already booked my dog's next stay.”
“Beth was a superb dog boarding host for our sweet boy Mac! She was easy to reach, highly responsive and sent lots of updates on Mac’s fun times while we were away. 100% recommend!”
“I am so grateful for Katie and Kristen for their amazing care of my Boston Terrier, Abby! I was going to a conference for two days and plans fell through for her, but Katie and Kristen were amazing and I was able to book with them for two nights. They sent photos and updates which I absolutely adored. Abby is totally pooped after having an amazing time with them and I wholeheartedly can say with certainy that you should book with them when they’re available. You can leave your beloved pet with them as they are in good hands. Thank you so much for all of your help and all of the updates. I am so grateful for you both! And Abby says thank you for taking care of me!”
“This was our dog’s second stay with Ariana and her dog Yogi. I was very impressed with our dog’s care during her first stay and I was equally impressed during her second stay. Our dog is not easygoing, and at one point I worried whether we would ever be able to find a sitter who would make her feel comfortable. Ariana is that sitter. She provides a loving, relaxed, fun environment and is exceptionally good at communicating with owners. She sets a new standard.”
“Renee took very good care of Bean for eleven days while my husband and I took a cruise. It was so nice to know Bean had company and was in good hands while we were away. This was my first experience with boarding a cat and the Rover app was a great help. I searched offers in my area, read Renee’s profile and we exchanged information. Bean enjoyed the meet and greet and that sealed the deal. Renee sent pictures and kept us informed. I highly recommend her service.”
“Teresa was amazing! She took great care of my little guy! I felt very comfortable and you can tell she loves the animals she sits for and treats them like her own pups! She sent me a bunch of pics while I was away which reassured me he was well taken care for! Would 100% book again!”
“I’ve had Deaunna help me out with day care and walking. I’m so glad I chose her for my Bode- he loves her and their adventures! She keeps me posted with lots of pics & videos when I’m away and loves up my lil guy just as much as I would! Highly recommend :)”
“Kayden did a great job taking care of our two large dogs during our 3 week trip. Communication was excellent, including regular updates with pictures. I was a little concerned about the very small yard, but the kiddos got frequent walks so I don't think it was a problem. We'll be happy to use Kayden's services again on our next trip.”
About: I have been a pet owner since 2010 but an animal lover my whole life. I am also a mom so I can handle pretty much anything and I have a flexible schedule. I currently work a remote part-time job so I am very flexible during the work day and at times after work and on weekends. I have my own car. I have a fully fenced yard at my house and my dog Clementine loves all animals! I am also interested in walking dogs or caring for dogs in other people's homes during the work day.
“Overall the dogs experience appeared to be positive. The pictures and videos provided were very reassuring. Given one dog has a health condition and takes medication twice a day there was concern about exacerbation of his condition. He actually is doing very well.and seems to have had a very positive experience. Unfortunately both dogs developed some gastrointestinal difficulties and Erin had to call our veterinarian for consultation. . We appreciate their attention to the well being of our dogs. Definitely highly recommend Erin and her husband as highly qualified dog sitters who are dog centric , communicative and adaptable to unique situations . Would recommend that they develop a report card that could be filled out daily which details : dog activities dog behavior dog daily diet( quantity consumed, any new medical concerns dog sleep This would provide owners with a clearer sense of the dog’s experience and would mirror the experience that many providers of this service furnish to the dog owners. Overall this was a positive experience and would not hesitate to have Erin provide this valuable service again.”
“Amy did a fantastic job taking care of our dog while we were away for a weekend. She was very attentive, sweet, responsive, and provided daily updates. We will definitely have her watch our dog in the future!”
“Catherine did a great job taking care of Lita. Lita had a blast playing with Mel B and all the kids and other dogs at the house. She was thrilled with all the friends she made and would definitely love to stay with Catherine again.”
“Monica and Razvan took great care of my puppy for her extended stay with them. They were so accommodating and picked her up from a boarding facility and also took care of her for a little bit longer than expected due to travel delays. The communication is great. Monica also sends the cutest photos.”
“As usual Mina always takes care of pur pups in the best way. Their family is always protective of our dogs and it reflects. I even think his son gets mad everytime when we pick up our dogs, which is so adorable.”

Amazing! I am SO happy that we found Daniel and Darcy! They are the first pet sitters we have ever used for our 2 big guys and I left them knowing that they were in such good hands! The dogs had the best day ever, and I was so relieved knowing they were in such caring environment. We loved the photo updates and texts. Highly recommend!!
Wonderful overnight stay with Shashank and his pup. He is so great at dog training and anticipating our dog’s emotions and needs. We were fully happy and anxiety-free leaving our dog in Shashank’s trusted hands. One of the BEST rover homes (and we have tried a dozen!)
Kayden went above and beyond. Over the course of boarding, my dog, Goose's, neurological condition worsened such that she could no longer move herself around. Kayden went to much extra trouble to make sure she was still comfortable and getting up and moving around with his help. He kept us well-informed about how things were going and was really patient with Goose and nursing her until we got back. He was really great, and I can't express my gratitude enough for all he did for Goose!
Deaunna took wonderful care of our Daisy, a 4 y.o. Golden Retriever. Having a couple of other dogs around made her feel comfortable in the new surroundings and she settled in like she was part of the pack. The routine of Deaunna's busy family kept Daisy happily engaged with people coming and going. We particularly appreciated that Daisy had free rein in the home, and the back yard is fully fenced for playing with her new furry friends. Deaunna sent lots of pictures of her on the long walks and Daisy's tail was happily standing tall. Thank you to Deaunna and family.
Kiersten did a great job boarding our dog, Jillie. She charged a fair price, communicated well throughout the stay, and regularly sent pictures and updates which gave us peace of mind while we were away. She also took Jillie on walks and clearly cared for her like her own. We would definitely trust her to watch Jillie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable dog boarding.
Josie absolutely adored Madelyn, who provided attentive and loving care during her stay with us. Madelyn kept us updated throughout the visit and made us feel completely at ease being away. We’d love for Josie to spend more time with you again soon!
Brigitte was absolutely wonderful with Zhu Zhu. She will be our go-to in the future! She sent a daily update, and was reliably communicative while I was away. Best of all, Zhu Zhu was calm and relaxed when I came for pick up. Definitely rebooking if we need someone in the future.
Aylin was flexible, attentive, and responsive— it was great working with her to watch my big pup Athena. Her location is great and it was awesome that she could tag team watching my pup with her partner. I really appreciated the peace of mind on my long weekend trip.
