“I had not had anyone watch my puppy before and was anxious about how she’d do with it (especially as she can be quite shy sometimes). I’m happy to say that I don’t think it could not have gone better! Ruben sent pictures and updates throughout the day, and it was great to see that she was getting more and more comfortable with him and the other dogs. I look forward to booking her with Ruben again!”

“Moses was wonderful with Nioh! His patience and calm energy made such a difference, especially for my high-energy dog who gets anxious in new places. He cared for and played with Nioh like his own, and I could tell at pick-up how much Nioh enjoyed his day. I’d highly recommend and rebook with him anytime! Thanks so much Moses!”

“Aaron is one of the very best dog sitters around! He took such good care of our 2.5-year-old husky, Bowie. Aaron was watching several other dogs as well and took them all to the dog park in Oak Park. She had a blast. He sent us lots of updates and videos while she was in his care. He also asked all the right questions, even some I hadn't thought of, to best address Bowie’s needs and comfort. I highly recommend Aaron’s dog-sitting services. He took Bowie into his care on short notice for the 4th of July. He is a true gem! Thank you so very much ❤️”

“Jackie was amazing with my energetic boy Tucker!! He loved playing in her backyard and snuggling with her and her pups on the couch. He is tired and happy after picking him up. It was my first time dropping him at someone’s house for Rover so I was very anxious, however Jackie eased that immediately when I met her and her two cute pups. I will 100% use her services again next time I’m in the area.”
“My Shih Tzu, Coco had his first visit with Erica and her family. He was very excited to meet them and he had a great time. I got photos that reassured me he was happy and didn't seem to show any of the separation anxiety he has had. I'm happy to recommend Erica and Ricardo to all and I am definitely adding them to my list of fave Rover people.”
“Luciano & Luciene took excellent care of my 2 Cavaliers, Charlie and Sammy. They went on 3 walks in nearby parks and my dogs love to walk. Luciene sent pictures and a video for me to enjoy and ease any concerns. I do not leave my pups very often but I am vacationing in Sarasota for the month and wanted some time to enjoy some sites. I felt completely comfortable leaving pups with this sweet family and plan to again very soon.”
About: I’ve been a dog owner for my whole life and trained both of my dogs! Throughout college I’ve taken various dog sitting jobs and will happily send my references.

I will plan for morning, afternoon, and evening walks with dog(s). I will plan multiple walks throughout the day with the dog(s) and feedings depending on the specified instruction of the owner. I also will also plan for plenty of quality time with them!
“We’ve left Honey with Adolfo a few times now and whenever she sees him she gets super happy. She always comes back exhausted from playing with the pups. Adolfo also is very flexible in terms of pick up and drop off, and also send tons of pictures of Honey having fun with the other doggos. 100% recommend.”

K9 UniversityLocal facility
“My dog has been going to K9 University for about 8 years. When I’m out of town or not I take him there for doggy daycare. They take care of his grooming. I also have enrolled my dog into their classes for nose work, agility and obedience and my dog absolutely loves it. I am also satisfied with the results and experience of K9 University INC. Their staff members are well trained and they all practice the same delivery of services, for instance, what one staff members provide in quality customer services so does the remaining 5 staff members, therefore the quality you receive from this company isn’t compromised; moreover, they go above and beyond. They are all very professional and possess a wonderful attitude – they look very happy to be there. I’ll most definitely recommend using K9 University INC.”

Caroline D.
“When Caroline met my two pups the first time, two things struck me. First, she paid more attention to the dogs than she did to me (as it should be) and second, my dogs immediately took to her with an affection they usually reserve for family. The dogs adore her. When she sat with the dogs, we received regular updates and pictures of happy pups and came home to a house that was tidier than it was when we left. She is a delight to work with! I give her my highest recommendation!”

Austin dog parents share their Rover experiences
Rubin is wonderful - very flexible, accommodating, responsive. We had a lot of moving parts over the last few weekends and had to reschedule on him a number of times but he was always gracious and willing to work with us. Kevin loves spending time with Rubin and his 3 pups and is so happy when we drop him off there. You can tell Rubin truly loves dogs and we felt so comfortable leaving our 4 month old puppy in his care. Thank you Rubin!

Our pup loves going to Erica and Ricardo’s for daycare. She’s an anxious girl, but she gets so excited when we pull up and runs into the house as soon as we get there. She gets lots of playtime and love, and we get cute pictures and updates. Would definitely recommend them!
Can’t recommend Kayla enough—she took amazing care of my (very needy) pup, Teddy! From the start, she was incredibly communicative and responsive, which gave me so much peace of mind. Teddy absolutely adores her, and it’s easy to see why—she’s kind, patient, and clearly knowledgeable about dogs and their needs. I was so happy with her doggy daycare while I had to work, knowing Teddy was in great hands. It’s such a relief to find someone who truly cares and goes above and beyond. If you’re looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and loving sitter, Kayla is the best!
Moses was wonderful with Nioh! His patience and calm energy made such a difference, especially for my high-energy dog who gets anxious in new places. He cared for and played with Nioh like his own, and I could tell at pick-up how much Nioh enjoyed his day. I’d highly recommend and rebook with him anytime! Thanks so much Moses!
Damaris took my puppy for a few hrs a couple of days before our week long trip. This way when we left her there for a week, she was familiar with her sitter. Delilah took to Damaris right away and seemed to enjoy her visits there. So glad we found Damaris! She is warm, and friendl. I will not worry about my puppy.
