“Tracy and her husband were amazing! They responded quickly and had great communication. They provided a lot of photos and the doggies looked very happy in them. Would not hesitate to book again!”

“Meerim and her partner were absolutely amazing dog sitters for my family’s 9 year old dog! She handled our dog’s reactive tendencies around other dogs like a pro and was incredibly prompt in responding and sending pics throughout the stay. Our dog was very happy and comfortable with Meerim due to her attentive, gentle, and loving nature - I would readily recommend Meerim to anyone looking for the best pet care around and we will definitely happily rebook!”

“Jessica is the best! She watched our dog Roo and instantly became her best friend - she made her chicken, put on a cute sweater for our dog, and kept us up to date on all the fun times. Our trip ran a little long and she was super understanding and kept her for nearly 4 hours longer. We are so happy we found her and will definitely be booking again!”

“Jasmine was very responsible and took care of our easily excitable dog with Love. Before the drop off, she carefully asked for important care instructions, and during the stay she kept us updated and shared photos.”

“Jennifer was the best, she was flexible and kind and sent lots of photos. Our dog clearly had the best time while we were away. Would highly recommend her to walk or board your dog!! Her pups are so sweet as well.”

“Fang took great care of our dog Aspen during her weekend stay. She is very responsive and flexible and sent many updates with pictures and videos during her stay. Thank you so much for taking great care of our pup! Will definitely book again in the future 😊”

“Keira had a fantastic stay with Margaret and her pack! I was nervous to leave our 4mo German Shepherd pup with someone so soon after getting her, and for 10 days to boot. Margaret made me feel confident that she had it covered and Keira integrated nicely into their pack. I appreciate that Margaret had a consistent schedule, providing structure for Keira, and I received a steady stream of fun updates--photos, videos, anecdotes--that made me smile and put me at ease. I love that Keira became close with one of her dogs, Ranger, and I felt very good about her getting consistent socialization at her young age. Keira came back having learned the 'down' command, jumping up less frequently, and being more disciplined than when we left her. Such a relief to have a dependable dog guru available to care for her. Super grateful to Margaret and excited to be able to book her again for stays in the future.”

“Wonderfully responsive and cared deeply for my dog. When my dog got unexpectedly ill during his stay they were very communicative throughout and worked with me to make sure that he was well taken care of until I could travel home.”

“My Border-Aussie (7.5 yrs old) stayed with Kimmy, Jesse and Tycho for 5 nights and 6 days (while I was 400 miles away with my kids). How can I describe their care? Heroic. Yes, heroic. My pup had not stayed at Rover or away from family in about 3 years - and had always had a great time at Rover hosts. This time he apparently decided to express separation anxiety with loss of use of rear legs and bowels for two days! Kimmy and Jesse were sending photos and text every few hours while I tried to get a mobile vet there (they don’t do emergencies it turns out). But we started to reason that all didn’t make sense based on timing! They got a lifting harness and diapers and were on full time watch. But I most regret the anxiety and worry they went through. By day 3 he was up and about and day 5 and 6 having a grand old time. Conclusion? Border Drama - yup it’s a thing. He does have some intermittent weakness in right rear leg but this was a true performance which they handled with so much compassion toward Jango and grace toward me. I literally do not know any friends or neighbors who could have handled situation better or who I could have trusted more. I’ve owned Border Collies for over 25 years and this was a new one even for me! They are exceptional folks who genuinely love dogs and are a blessing. They even took a photo they gave to me of Jango with the caption “Best Drama King” lol. Thku Kimmy, Jesse and Tycho!”

“My puppers can be a bit stressed when in a new environment. Edward and Elisha were able to help her relax and warm up quickly. Communication was great! Lots of pictures. Aspen came home a happy girl.”

“The family was easy to coordinate with - and shared pictures regularly. It was a plus that they have kids to play with our dog who needs that type of attention. It seems like she had a great time!”
“Ahmyah was excellent! She walked Ernie five times a day and showered him with attention. She kept in good communication with me throughout her time with Ernie, sending me pictures and updates on how he was doing! I would definitely recommend Ahmyah as a sitter for your pet and will be coming back to her with Ernie in the future!”

“Mochi had a great stay with Wendy and Boba. She was well cared for and got lots of extra love. Wenyu was an excellent communicator and sent lots of pictures throughout the day of Mochi enjoying herself :). Would highly recommend.”

“Iryna was fabulous with our adult cockapoo. Extremely responsive and a great caretaker. Our doggy was super happy and comfortable with Iryna and her family who live next to a great dog park. Will definitely rebook if our schedules align.”

“This was my first time using Rover service. I was worried in the first. But Manli and his husband were very nice to my dogs and very responsive. They sent me pictures of the dogs everyday and kept us posted all the time. The husband even slept on couch to take care of my dogs since they barked at the new environment in the night. Will definitely use them again in the future.”
About: I have had dogs my entire life. I've cared for dogs with medical challenges and disabilities and my own dog, Harold, is paralyzed in his rear end. Your dogs will be a part of our family for the time they stay with me. I work mostly from home but may go to the office a few days a week for a few hours. I run in the morning, if your dog is athletic they will come with, or go out for a mellow walk in the morning. I live in a quiet neighborhood behind a park where the dogs can run and walk. I care for dogs in my home. The house has a fenced back yard and we can take trips to dog parks, if your dog is into that. I have two dogs (a lab and a chihuahua mix) so your dog will have dog buddies to play with.
“Ali was awesome! We booked with another sitter and that arrangement did not work as planned. Ali stepped in with a very short same day notice and was able to take over and provide care for our very energetic puppy. He provided regular updates and communication was easy. More importantly, he took really good care of our dog and we got him back in great shape. Highly recommended and we'll surly be back next time we need care for our dog. Thank you Ali!”

Barron Park dog parents share their Rover experiences
Rachel is so caring and amazing! She sends pics and updates and she really works well with my dog who has bad anxiety. When my mom was in the hospital she was flexible in keeping Rudy for longer and was asking about my welfare. I could tell she really cares about my dog Rudy!

Yun and Lina are very kind and caring. Tobin can definitely be naughty, he loves food and will try to eat anything he can, but he was well loved and comfortable in their home. I was out of the country for two weeks and they gave me regular updates throughout. Tobin did accidentally eat chocolate but Yun and Lina were very responsible and communicative, they brought him to the emergency vet and I was able to speak to them and the vet for Tobin’s treatment. Tobin was totally fine and remained happy at their home till I returned. I was put at ease as they were able to care for him even with the accident, and he was very relaxed when I brought him home.

Courtney has been our hero, for more than one holiday seasons! She always takes perfect care of our dog and cats, plays with them A LOT, and sends beautiful pictures. We never need to worry about anything during our trips because we know our furry family are in good hands.

When I met Jae on the meet & greet I knew she was a very conscientious dog owner and Bella would be in good hands. She took great care of her and she was open to taking Bella without a lot of prior notice. She sent photos and kept me informed on how Bella was getting along. I would not hesitate to leave Bella again with Jae.
