“I'm so happy to have left my dog in Bethany's care! You can tell she's an animal lover and treats pets with so much care and attention. I appreciated the photo she sent me while Korben was enjoying the dog park. I'm so happy to have found Bethany and I most certainly leave Korben with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Sam is a very respectful, honest, and accommodating. He always replies to our inquires in a timely fashion. He notifies us as soon as there is any issue or concern with our dog and offers the best care possible. He sends updates regularly. He optimizes his visits with our pup with long walks and play. I know our dog is in good hands when he is with Sam! I highly recommend.”
About: Over the past 20 years, I’ve had three dogs, a Pomeranian, an Akita, and a Yorkshire Terrier. Each one had a different personality, but they were all very attached to me. None of them went to a training school, but they were all well-behaved. I trained them myself before they turned one year old. I currently live in a clean, quiet, pet-free home. There are no pets living in the house at this time, so visiting dogs will not have to share the space with other animals or adjust to another pet’s presence or scent. I only accept small dogs up to 20 lbs and prefer low-shedding breeds. My home provides a calm, clean, and comfortable environment where dogs can feel safe and relaxed during their stay. I’m home most of the day, so your dog will rarely be left alone. Big park around the house. Like walk and play with dog. Small dogs need lots of attention and one-on-one care, which is why I only host one dog at a time. I follow each owner’s feeding routine and do not give dogs any human food. Small dogs can have sensitive stomachs, so I believe consistency is important. My goal is to provide a quiet, comfortable, clean, and healthy environment where every dog can feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for.
“Jordyn took wonderful care of our senior dog while we were away. She sent frequent updates with photos throughout the stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. Our dog has mobility challenges and needs a little extra help, and Jordyn was incredibly patient, attentive, and caring. It was obvious she treated her with kindness and affection. Our favorite update was that she was “cuddling Mr. Wolf!” When we picked her up, she came home happy, calm, and relaxed, which is the best indication of the care she received. We would absolutely trust Jordyn with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate, dependable sitter.”
“My beagle Beans loved his stay with Shane! He gets anxious at kennels, so we chose to board him for a week with Shane while we went away, and he seemed to settle in right away. Shane sent us daily updates with pictures of him living his best life lounging in the yard and snuggling on the couch. Beans didn't want to leave!”
“Another great stay with Nina and Chris for our dog, Mischa! This was her third stay with Nina and Chris over the past month and she was in excellent hands. They were communicative and sent photo updates while we were away. We appreciate their willingness to watch Mischa within a week’s notice as well as their flexibility with the drop off time after I made a timing error and showed up an hour early! Thanks Nina and Chris!”
“Can't say enough good things about my dogs' stay with Lowell. Big yard, lots of attention and care, photos and texts daily and at pick up the dogs were clearly torn between being happy to go home and wanting to stay and have fun. Will definitely be using Lowell again. ”
“Rachel is the best! She was very patient and kind with my shy dog Fern and made a loving home for her while I was away. I got lots of pictures and updates as well! I could tell my dog was relaxed and really enjoyed her stay. She got to cuddle up on every piece of furniture as part of the family!”
“Terez watched Reese for us during a quick weekend getaway. She was very flexible with our schedule in accommodating a pick up and drop off for us since we lived so conveniently close. Reese felt right at home with her. We will definitely use Terez again!”
“Oh my goodness - Kattia is the best sitter we’ve ever had! Between Kattia, her daughter, and friend our pup Oreo had way more attention and care than I even expected. They were so loving and energetic. Even when we dropped her off Oreo was already smiling and she never does that! They took her on lots of walks and car rides, fed her well, cuddled her up and became best friends. She sent lots of updates and pics to show how happy she was as they spoiled her. I will definitely be booking them again! Amazing service!”
“Elizabeth and her family were great with my husky. They were flexible with my situation and ensured my dog was in a comfortable place. They took him to the dog park and treated him as part of their own family. Will definitely be using them again.”
“Stacy and her family were awesome! They took really good care of our fur babies. Communication was great, we received lots of pictures and updates while we were away. Jaxson and Kobe got all of the love, attention and belly rubs, they felt right at home.”
“Wonderful experience. Felt instantly at ease in our conversations leading up to me dropping my ‘only son’ off! Covey was excited and well looked after. Apparently even spoiled with bits of turkey - which Angela was professional and kind enough to enquire about before she gave it to him. I would definitely recommend her and you will get lots of pictures and updates throughout the day. She is polite, calm and has an obvious love for dogs and that is what we needed and what we got. Very grateful for her.”
“Candice did a wonderful job caring for our dog! She was communicative throughout the booking, pre-arrival, during care, and through pick up. She genuinely cares about the dogs in her care. We will definitely use her again!”
“Mariel and her family were lovely. We received daily updates with pictures and videos. They took Remy on all sorts of fun adventures, entertained him with new toys and gave him lots of snuggles. Our pup is our baby and we would happily use Mariel again in the future.”
“Catherine & Nikhit are very kind, easy to work with, and took good care of my dog once again. Their love of animals shines through in the care they give!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Annandale
Carmen was, without question, the best dog sitter I could have asked for! My old pup can be quite the grumpy little guy, but she treated him with so much patience, kindness, and genuine affection. She took him on walks, sent wonderful pictures, and accompanied each update with beautifully written notes that made me smile every time. It was clear she wasn’t just looking after him, she genuinely cared about him. Finding someone you can trust with an aging, sometimes difficult dog means the world, and Carmen went above and beyond in every way. I couldn’t recommend her more highly, and I would absolutely trust her with my pup again!
Javier was amazing with our dog Brody! It was our first time using Rover and Javier made us feel at ease with multiple updates a day, videos, and photos. Brody loved the backyard and with every update from Javier, we felt more and more at ease that our Brody was being taken care of. Highly recommend Javier!
Annie was super sweet, very communicative, took lots of pictures, and was so easy to work with! We will definitely be booking with her again. It’s such a great feeling to find someone who you know you can trust with your dogs when you move to a new area. She was awesome!
Rachel is the best! She was very patient and kind with my shy dog Fern and made a loving home for her while I was away. I got lots of pictures and updates as well! I could tell my dog was relaxed and really enjoyed her stay. She got to cuddle up on every piece of furniture as part of the family!
Rico loved spending the weekend with Gail and her pup. He actually didn’t want to leave! She was welcoming and flexible when our plans changed. She sent many pictures and updates which we really appreciated. We would highly recommend Gail and Rico can’t wait to go play again.
Yan was fantastic with my three cats! They are all ex-ferals so they are really shy and don’t usually trust strangers. She really took the time to build trust with them and I was so happy to see them gradually relax around her, play with her, and even accept treats from her. I also really appreciated how communicative Yan was. She sent me a lot of photos and videos every day, along with very detailed updates about their behavior, what they ate, and whether they had peed and pooped. It really showed how much she cared about each one of them and their individual needs. This was my first time leaving my cats at a pet sitter’s home so I was a little nervous but knowing they were in good hands was such a relief. I would absolutely trust Yan with them again. Thank you so much for taking such good care of my babies!!
Fantastic experience boarding our baby kitten with Janell and on short notice. She kept us updated with lots of photos, gave our kitty his meds, and made sure he was well taken care of. Nova didn’t want to leave by the end of our trip. Thank you, Janell for taking great care of Nova!
