6. Margaret B.

“Margaret is probably the best dog sitter we’ve ever worked with. Let me give some context: our utterly cute dog was adopted in 2020 (pandemic dog) with already deep fear and trauma. We think something happened when she was a puppy that caused deep fear such as abuse or some sort of trauma. Basically, she was afraid of everything and utterly shy. We worked with multiple trainers for almost two years and finally got her to a good place. We learned with time and patience she gets comfortable with strangers and once you’re in her pack. You are there for life. She loves playing with dogs but dog parks would get complicated because other dogs sometimes would teach bad habits or become aggressive (trainers also mentioned things can escalate and certain owners have no control). We also learned she is scared of certain breeds and afraid of cats. But she has an incredible memory and is the smartest dog we’ve ever had. However, most people dog kennels, individuals have zero experience and patience. Given her memory, there are certain vets or dog daycares she will cry and try running away from if we are walking by. The true test of dog unhappiness. Fast forward to 2023, we’ve built trust and loyalty with our baby but the problem is she is still afraid of strangers and the unknown. She is al highly protective of her territory and will start barking (think a stranger walking up to me or a stranger entering our home). We’ve learned methods to make her feel safe and comfortable and ways strangers should approach. Basically it’s hard to find a dog sitter for her than the average dog. Most places are money machines and do not give her the time making her regress. Margaret is beyond words incredible. She knows how to work with all types of dogs including very shy dogs and dogs with behavioral challenges. She has ample experience and genuine care for animals. Also our dog is highly fearful of the breeds: huskies and German shepherds. Margaret has both and was able to get our dog comfortable going out on runs and walks with them. When we came to pick her up she was sad to go and saying bye to both Margaret, her partner John (another amazing human) and all their dogs. She loved all of them from Luma the chihuahua mix that made ours more social to the Willis and Jackson that made her confident to even Jackson who made her feel safe and like a queen. They even were flirting hahaha Never have we left our dog and received so many pictures and saw her so happy. She did not even want to leave when we picked her up and learned new commands in just one week like paw. Our dog even cried while we drove away and loved her new pack. Margaret said she fit right in. If Margaret and John open a doggie daycare, our pup would be there every day because we have never seen her so social and happy while remaining in a safe and controlled space. She was loved, fed like crazy (the way to her heart) but did not gain weight because of all the exercise, games and activities provided by this wonderful couple. Margaret is also an incredible trainer and has so much patience and love. I felt so easy on our holidays with my baby there, did not even think twice. We are beyond proud and since that week with Margaret she is a different dog. Sweeter, calmer and just more confident and trusting. Please open a daycare that this area so desperately needs. One thing- I recognize the price is expensive this was our biggest challenge but they are truly worth it!!”


7. Nicholas & Christine K.

“Christine and Nick took wonderful care of Spruce for 9 days. From our first interaction at the meet and greet, I knew Spruce was in good hands. Their years of experience raising Remy and caring for friends' dogs truly shows. They took Spruce for multiple walks each day, gave him love and cuddles, and sent regular photo updates.”


8. Jennifer C.

“Thanks, Jennifer Milo felt like home when he was with you and your family. Thank you again for making him feel special. No words describe my gratitude, Thanks.”


9. Ahmyah H.

“I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for my high-energy pup! Ahmyah was incredibly attentive and patient. It was our first time apart, and I was a bit nervous, but the regular updates and knowing my dog was in such good hands put my mind at ease. Thank you for taking such great care of my dog and would definitely recommend to any other first-time dog parents!”


10. Florence T.

“Florence & Wen took care of my pug named chewy at their home. From the moment I met them during the meet and greet, I felt very comfortable. I knew that they would take care of my dog very well. During chewy’s stay, I receive constant updates on how he was doing which put my mind at ease as it was the very first time I boarded my dog. Chewy looked very happy in every single photo that was sent to me. I will definitely be booking again! Thank you again :)”


11. Marivel & Alvaro A.

“Our dog gets so much activity and care with Marivel! Lots of walks and treats, she also sends photo updates which are especially nice when we are missing him out of town.”


12. Andrew & Melissa L.

13. Cesar S.


“Cesar is one of our dog’s favorite people :) He is caring, super communicative, and takes wonderful photos of our pups. You can tell he loves animals and we are so grateful to have found him to trust Lila with!”


14. Michael V.
“Michael has taken care of my dogs over the past 12 years. My dogs were always happy to see Michael for their walks. They happily followed his lead. He did a great job of keeping to feeding times and portions, following the instructions I left. When Michael took care of them in my house overnight while I was out of town, he made sure they had "one last trip" out before going to bed.”


15. Jesse & Kimmy R.

“Bagheera had very good care with Jess and Kimmy. Their big fenced yard and friendly dog made him comfortable, and he became attached to Kimmy! I will definitely ask them to care for my little sweetie again!”


16. Svitlana K.

“Svitlana was a phenomenal dog sitter for my puppy! She and her partner gave such good care to him, treated him with kindness, and gave so many updates! I felt so comfortable out of town seeing how happy he was getting time outside, relaxing time indoors, and lots of walks. I would recommend her to anyone, and plan on using her again soon!”


17. Andrew & Claire L.
About: Hello! Welcome to our profile. We are just starting out on rover because we miss having dogs. Please reach out with any questions, we’d love to take care of your dog. A little about us: I took care of my golden doodles for over a decade and have pet care experience working for Wag. My girlfriend also regularly dog sits for her friends. We both really want a dog but can’t commit to adopting right now. We work from home so we’re always here, and would love a furry friend to get us out on more walks :) We have a nice clean apartment with a dog park across the street, access to great walkable neighborhoods, and nearby outdoor spaces. Since we work from home, we can give your dog attention around the clock. We’re also regularly available for boarding pets multiple days in a row. We don’t have any other pets at home, and are flexible with the type of care we can provide. We don’t have our own backyard, but our residential community has a nice dirt walking trail and a dog park across the street. We both have experience caring for older pets and pets with various health conditions, so we’re very accustomed to medication regimens. We are also always on our phones so we’re easy to get a hold of.


18. Ethan L.

“Ethan took great care for our dog Niko. He sent daily updates, many photos and videos which provided us comfort and peace of mind. His dog Astro went along well with Niko and they had fun together. In future, I would definitely rebook for Niko.”


19. Jifu Y.

“Jifu did an amazing job taking care of my puppy! He was attentive and caring, and his dog Joki was very friendly, making the experience even better. I loved receiving videos and pictures throughout the day, which gave me peace of mind. I definitely recommend him!”


20. Julie C.
“Julie is an incredible dog-sitter! She looked after my pup, Patty, for up to 3 weeks at a time and Patty always had an absolute blast. Julie is really caring, super communicative, a genuine animal lover. She kept me updated with cute photos of Patty and texts to let me know how she was doing, made sure Patty always had plenty of exercise, and generally took amazing care of her. Patty was always so happy and healthy when I went to pick her up, and clearly had a wonderful time with Julie, getting lots of treats and cuddles. I would 100% trust her to look after Patty any time, and highly recommend her to anyone looking for help with their pets!”
