“Alexandra did a wonderful job. Very responsive to text messages and provided daily updates. Her residence has plenty of space for dogs to run and have fun. Definitely going to book with her next time we need a sitter. I felt very comfortable that our dog was in good hands.”

“Mark and Marie did a wonderful job getting our old girl Sasha to feel comfortable and safe. I had never left her with anyone but family before so I was worried until our first meet and greet. She was so comfortable right from the start. The pictures they sent while we were gone showed she had a great time! We will definitely use them in the future.”


“Beth was awesome. My dog was being a dog and had a medical issue (by no fault of Beth at all) while he was with her and she got a hold of me immediately and took Ryker to the vet for me. She handled it perfectly!! I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter. She kept me updated on how Ryker was doing and sent me pictures frequently.”

“Brandy and Chad did an amazing job watching our dog Otto! In every photo it looked like he was having such a good time. Will definitely be bringing him back the next time we need a Rover.”

“We needed our two dogs watched over the weekend! I love that she had a fenced-in yard for the dogs to play in. Jaymie was very quick to respond to my texts inquiring about the dogs. Would definitely have her watch our babies again!!”

“Nicole and Josh are life savers and helped me with my dog Parker last minute while I was out of town. They are such kind and loving people and I can not appreciate them enough for the care they gave my dog. You guys are amazing!! Definitely recommend them to anyone”

“Lily was a great sitter for our dog! She was excellent about communicating in advance of the stay and was diligent about sending daily updates! Our dog loved their stay and got lots of playtime in with their two pups. She was also great about handling some anxiety at bedtime for the first couple nights. I could tell she is experienced with dogs and cared about marking our dog’s stay as comfortable as possible. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again.”

“I left my Toby with Michelle for a long weekend. She was great with communication from the very beginning! Michelle let me know what to expect and put my worrying at ease. Drop off went smoothly and at least once a day, I received pictures or videos of him! I will absolutely use Michelle again in the future. She was patient and calm with Toby who is nervous around anyone new!”

“Our 2 dachshunds loved spending the weekend with Kayla! They are exhausted from having so much fun! GREAT communication, lots of photos and videos and they have the cutest pup who welcomed us with excitement to meet new friends! We’ll be using them every time we are in town!”

“The dogs loved both Alyssa and her husband and their new brother, Scamp! :) We loved Alyssa's communications and pictures and trusted her taking care of our fur babies. We will definitely bring the dogs back! Thank you!”

“Brandi and her family were WONDERFUL!!! They treated my dog Hank like family, with lots of love and plenty of neighborhood walks. They comforted him during a thunderstorm, and he even got to join them on the bed for a snuggle. I'd book Brandi again in a second, in fact I already have! 🙂 She gets 10 stars in my book, and in Hank's!!!”

“Jacky and her family were great! They were able to accommodate a last minute request and made us feel very comfortable. This was our first experience using Rover and we are so happy we gave it a try. Jacky was very sweet, responsive, and sent great pictures and videos. Our pup had a great time and seemed so comfortable and happy. We will definitely use Jacky for future pet care needs!”

“Scott took excellent care of Finnick when I was getting married nearby last weekend. He was very good at communicating and responding to messages, and made sure to send me cute pics of Finnick and his puppy Argus (so cute) playing together. You can tell he loves dogs and being able to provide quality care for them. I would Highly recommend Scott for your dog watching needs! Finn was absolutely tuckered when I picked him up.”

About: I have taken care of all kinds of farm animals incliuding ,cats and especially dogs. I raised miniture schnauzers in my home for 5 years . My family had so much fun with puppies. I now have an adorable doodle ,Tip who is 5 years old and the most gentle dog I have ever owned. I live on a hobby farm now and I have five chickens and 2 guinneas. Tip really enjoys the chickens and they are not afraid of her at all. I do not have a fenced yard so I would not let a dog out with out being on a leash. We will have frequent playtime and walks around our property. I really like dogs and having dogs in my home. Tip lives in our house and sleeps in our bedroom. I am a retired nurse so I can administer any medication needed. Our vet is just five blocks away if any care is needed. I would only be able to care for dogs as my son is very allergic to cats. I am retired and spend mos.t of my time at home. I have social engagements like church and grandchildren's basketball games on Saturdays. I enjoy our farm and love gardening. Tip is always out with me when I care for the chickens and if I am gardening Tip is very gentle with other dogs. She will play if they want to play but will leave them alone if they are not in the mood to play. Tip goes outside and does not go to the road which runs in front of our house she wears a halo collar and responds very well to her boundries. I will play and walk with a visiting dog but always keep them on a leash for safety.
Balsam Lake dog parents share their Rover experiences
We were looking for a special person to watch our two dogs while we were away. One of our dogs is insecure and the other has a lot of energy. We were so happy to find Beth! We wish we could give her 10 stars! She and her husband did such a great job with both pups. Beth was in regular communication and the pictures she sent told us everything we needed to know. The dogs looked so happy and comfortable. We are truly grateful for the wonderful care that was provided. A+++!!
