“Kiran was wonderful. She is very communicative and makes sure that she has all of the needs for your little loved one. Plenty of pictures. Toby was very happy. Will use again. Thanks”
“Bre was absolutely incredible with our dog. She’s extremely communicative with multiple updates and pictures daily. Our’s and her dog, Marco, got along great and our dog can’t wait for us to leave town again.”
“Maxine is wonderful! I was nervous about the idea of dropping off my fur baby with a stranger for a week but Maxine really cares about the animals she dogsits. From the moment I started texting her I knew she was the one I could feel comfortable leaving my Bella with. Not only did she give Bella her meds and keep up with her feeding schedule and potty breaks, she loved her as if she was her pet. She cuddled with her and took several super adorable photos and shared them with me throughout the week. I would absolutely call Maxine again to look after Bell for me and know she was loved and taken care of. This route is 1000× better than using a boarding service especially for my pom that needs love and attention. Bella enjoyed her time with Maxine. Thank you for everything, Maxine! 😍 ❤️”
“Valeriia was a fantastic sitter! She was very accommodating when our travel plans had to be extended because of weather. Our dog looked like she was having a great time in all the pictures and videos Valeriia sent. They really went above and beyond and walked our dog everyday on top of letting her play outside. Valeriia's daughter looked like she really enjoyed having our dog there and was very friendly and sweet with her. Over-all we had a great experience and we will definitely be using them again. Highly reccomend!”
“Evgenia and her family were incredible! They cared for my special-needs dog with so much love, patience, and attention. Evgenia kept me updated with messages and photos throughout the stay, giving me complete peace of mind. My dog clearly felt safe, comfortable, and truly cared for. I’m so grateful for her compassion and professionalism. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a sitter who treats your fur baby like their own! 🐶”
“Took great care of our spaniel!!! She provided regular updates, pictures and communication during our time away. We will definitely be using Lauren again!”
“DesaRae was amazing!! It’s always a little stressful trying out a new sitter with your babies, but she put my mind at ease right away with plenty of pics and videos of them having a great time over there. Her house and yard are very clean and well kept. Her pets are very sweet, well behaved and very welcoming to all of mine. I highly recommend her and plan on being a return customer myself. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Jen is the best! She sends photo updates and cares for him like he is part of the family🫶🏻 Bolt loves going to her house and playing with her dog Maisie. We are so so lucky to have Jen!! 10/10 recommend her services”
“This was Jackson's first stay with Hermun. I was impressed by how many questions she asked to ensure that all of his needs were met. Hermun also send several cute pics to let me know that Jackson was content and happy. we already have her booked for another stay this weekend. Kelly and Jackson”
“Jesse was very nice and very attentive to what Cooper has going on and She took care of him very well. I would highly recommend Jessie for anybody who needs a dog sitter. And I will use her again”
About: I’ve been dogsitting other people’s pups since I was a kid and have so much love for furry friends. I finally got my own dog in 2021 and he is everything to me! He loves other dogs and I would be so happy to have your good boy or girl to spend time with us. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, leash trained or not, as well as reactive dog experience. Looking forward to meeting your pups & loving them as I do my own! I work full time from home so my schedule is very flexible for potty breaks, play time, and the like. I’m available for boarding and daycare 7 days a week! Dogs have free rein of the house here so they’ll be as comfortable as they are at home. I have the space for a crate if you prefer one to be used at night, you would just have to provide it. There’s a lovely walking trail in my complex, as well as a large fenced in dog park just a short walk away from my apartment.
“Nicole was excellent with Reggie!! Kept in touch each day and sent pictures too! She's always very quick to respond to messages. Reggie came home a very happy little guy!”
“Eileen took such good care of my schnauzer! This was the first time I’ve left my pup with someone he doesn’t know and I have no doubt she treated him with such good care. She sent me multiple updates a day with how he was doing and pictures which warmed my heart and eased my mind. I will definitely be using Eileen again next time I need a sitter for my pup!”
“Excellent. My pups absolutely loved Matt, kept me updated. I would not hesitate to have Matt sit my pups again and will recommend him to other dog parents.”
“Christie was phenomenal with tater and sent plenty of pics and videos/updates during his stay. Tater and Milo got along very well and I will be and recommending Christie for future stays :)”
“Silvana and her family were amazing! They treated Mac like one of their own…even dressed him up during the World Cup to make him feel apart of the family! Mac took walks, played outside in their gated backyard and slept with their son every night. It felt good knowing Mac was well taken care of, especially bc this was his first experience spending time in another home. I know Mac had a good time and I will definitely be using silvana again in the future.”
“Estephan and his kids provided sox with a loving home away from home for the weekend! I got plenty of pictures and updates to ease my worries. Sox loved staying over. Can't thank him enough for taking care of Sox like one of his own pups. I highly recommend Estephan!”
“We had a wonderful experience! They’re incredibly kind, caring, and flexible — which made the whole process so easy and stress-free. We felt completely at ease leaving Jax, in their care. He was so happy to be with them, and we could tell he felt right at home! We also really appreciated the updates and knowing he was getting lots of love and attention. It means so much to have neighbors we can trust with our dog. We’ll definitely be reaching out again in the future!”
“Nick was amazing with our dogs! One of our dogs has anxiety and the other is a senior, but he was able to manage their special needs with care. He sent daily updates and photos/videos, and really made us feel a sense of calm while we were away. He was also super flexible with our drop off and pick up times which we appreciated since we were flying and experienced some delays. Would definitely recommend and book again!”
Ballast Point dog parents share their Rover experiences
Kiran did an excellent job taking care of our doggie. She took him for walks, a light jog on Bayshore Blvd, trips to the dog park and even had dog videos to watch with him. We were very happy with the care she gave our doggie and we know he was happy too! Also Kiran would send us 3-4 texts each day with updates and pictures. We definitely would use her again and highly recommend her!
Silvana did an excellent job of sitting our dog for 8 days. Our dog Lance really likes Silvana, her husband, and son. She sent photos daily that showed Lance was being taken care of well and that Lance was enjoying his time there. Silvana has a very nice backyard for Lance to explore. I highly recommend Silvana as a dog sitter.
Melissa was so wonderful with Figa. She sent texts and photos each day, took her for walks and let her sleep in the bed with her - I couldn’t ask for more! I had never left Figa this many nights and she almost wanted to just stay at Melissa’s instead of coming home, haha! Melissa even sent her home with a new toy, that was such a sweet touch. Will definitely use Melissa again in the future!
Maliyah was absolutely fantastic with our nine-year-old French bulldog. It was my first time using her after reading her fabulous reviews and I’m already looking to book again. She has a calm energy and loves dogs. Her house has an enormous backyard and she sent us daily updates.
Don’t really have words for how appreciative I am of Morgan. Didn’t think I’d ever find someone like her to watch my sometimes crazy handful of a boxer Kylo, but hands down my go to for as long as she can keep doing Rover. She constantly reassured me through updates everything was okay. Truly feels like I’ve known her for years. Kylo agrees ♥️
Lauren was awesome and treated our 13 y/o dog with the upmost care. She was spot on with the amount of communication and updates to maintain my peace of mind that our girl was in great hands! Will definitely have her care for our dog again and highly recommend her to care for your pet too!
Valeriia and her family are great! They took such good care of our little guy Ziggy whilst we were away for a Thanksgiving vacation. Valeriia provided regular updates, photos, and frequently communicated with me for any issues that came up (Ziggy can be fussy with his food etc). Highly recommend and I’ll be rebooking with Valeriia the next time we go away!
Gynett watched my pomeranian Leo over thanksgiving this year. She was extremely responsive and nice throughout his stay. I received tons of photos of his daily walks, naps, and hangout sessions with her sweet black lab Mimi. She made him feel perfectly at home and lives in a beautiful community with a retention pond and screened porch to watch squirrels every pup dreams of. I would definitely contact her for future stays.
We were lucky enough to have Shana AND her mom (staying in town) when we had her watch our two pups for a four day stay! Right off the bat when we met Shana, we knew it would be a great fit. Our older dog is a bit of a grump and doesn’t take to new people very well and doesn’t like other dogs (other than his brother). We had Shana and her mom both “ignore” both of them (at our request) until we could see that Jax was comfortable and at ease and then the rest is history! We will definitely use Shana again in the future (and her mom if we are lucky enough to have her in town during one of our stays!). Cannot recommend Shana enough! I’m sad we didn’t connect with her sooner!
