“Corby had a wonderful time with Andrea and her family! She was great with communication and I picked up a very happy dog at the end of my trip! Thank you for taking such good care of my boy!”


“Kathryn and Jeremy were great, can't recommend them enough. They were extremely communicative both before Bella's stay and during, updating us with pictures etc throughout the day. The couple are very well versed in dog behavior/needs and asked all the right questions to make us feel confident Bella was going to be well cared for and safe. When we picked Bella up she was very comfortable in their home and was resting with Kathryn and Jeremy. If you are looking for trustworthy couple to watch your pup with love and attention, this is it!”

“I would highly recommended Ifan! This was the first time I have ever boarded my dog Charli and he regularly updated me about how Charli was doing and provided Charli with great outdoor/indoor playtime with other pup friends as well. Ifan himself was very responsive to any messages I sent him. If I ever need to board Charli again I will definitely do so with Ifan and would suggest others to do the same.”

“Christle is actually the best! She was a wonderful communicator and made my dogs feel safe and happy. They were actually sad to leave! I was so nervous to leave my dogs but I’m glad I found someone I can trust to watch them!”


“Alan & Luis are always great with Tyson. They welcome him into their home like he was part of their family. They are flexible and I always feel confident Tyson is getting the best care when we are away.”

“Wonderful couple! They give your pet lots of love and ensure that your pet is happy and well taken care of. They send photos and updates on a regular basis. I would recommend highly to use this couple for dogsitting your loving pet! Amazing! I am definitely having them again!”

“Bella had the best time with Tiffani and her family! Tons of updates that helped put me at ease! Will be using her every time we go out of town! Thanks so much!”

“5 stars!! Haoran is absolutely amazing! She is extremely thoughtful and took the time to get to know us and Shilo. She asked lots of questions to make sure Shilo felt right at home. Shilo became best friends with her dog. Highly recommend and we look forward to booking with her again!”

“This was our third booking with Triba and our dog’s first overnight stay - it’s so wonderful to have a sitter who we really trust & who our dog absolutely adores!”

“Janelle was amazing with our Jimmy, yet again! I feel so comfortable leaving him at her house with her sweet family. I know that I do not have to worry about him at all. It's a great feeling to have, as a dog owner.”

“Rumi was great! From the moment I arrived she was so sweet and I could tell I had found the right place to leave my little guy. She has a large fenced in yard that my pup was able to run in safely. I received lots of picture and video updates through out the day and he always looked like he was smiling 😊. Every vitamin and food regimen were followed to a T. Rumi will definitely be our go to! This was my first experience with Rover, but I will definitely not be looking elsewhere. Thank you so much Rumi, you made Sky's stay so joyous and peaceful!”

“Anita and her family sent photos and stayed with me on text letting me know how she was. She was very happy to help us and gentle with our husky who gets anxiety away from us! She is now the permanent person to care for our pup when we go away! Thank you Anita if I could give 10 Stars we would!❤️❤️❤️”

About: I grew up with dogs-- Freckles, Shadow, Trixie and Coco! Rosie was my first dog on my own -- 13 years together and she recently passed away. I'm looking to fill the gap by taking care of other people's pups. I will treat your dog like my own. I know what it feels like to worry when entrusting the care of your loved one. I love a good snuggle and going for walks, and I will keep you updated with photos while you're away! I work close to my home, so I can go home on lunch for a quick potty break. I like going for walks. I took care of Rosie for 13 years, so I am comfortable with the integration into my life and spending time with a dog at home. What's the point of having a dog if you're not hanging out together? Morning, noon, after work (4:45 p.m.) and before bed -- we go out for potty breaks. We go for a walk and play with toys on the floor together. We can set up a bed and/or crate. I have a crate for medium sized dogs and also doggy steps if needed. I also have a room off the kitchen that could be a hang out area and closed off if that's the kind of set-up your dog is used to. It has slider doors to the back porch (sunshine and a little bit of a view). One door could be closed and then roam between room and kitchen with a doggy/childcare divider on the other end. It just depends on what your dog needs and prefers and we can figure it out together.
About: At home I've been taking care of Ramsey, my small, high-energy, dog for almost 9 years. In these 9 years I've gained a larger a sense of responsibility and my love for animals has grown tremendously. I know how to communicate with dogs and read dog body language in order to cater to their needs and give them best care. As a recent graduate, I have more flexibility in my schedule, I can dedicate ample time to caring for my pets. This includes feeding, grooming, walking, and spending quality time with them to ensure their well-being and happiness. Engaging in activities like playing, training, and companionship not only enriches their lives but also brings a sense of purpose to my day. While job hunting, I find solace and a sense of responsibility in taking care of my pets, creating a positive and fulfilling routine amidst my current situation. At home I make sure my dog cannot access anything that can harm him. I close doors to the bathroom so he can’t access the trash can and I put gates up around the house to areas he can’t be in. During walks I am very careful and aware of my surroundings. If I walk at night, I walk in a well lit area with a few friends.

“Ricky and his family provide the best care for my girls! They are extremely loving, caring and flexible! I am so appreciative always for the love they give my girls! ❤️🐾”

“Loved Jennifer! She was awesome and met me in the park to introduce Cooper to some of the other dogs she was currently watching prior to the stay. She gave regular updates and did a great job with socializing Cooper with other dogs. She is a great photographer and put together an album of the week. Loved her and wouldn’t use any other sitter!”
“My labradoodle Joye loves to stay with Angela and Tommy, I can say by his demeanour. I also like the updates about Joye with pictures and promptly responds to my messages .”

About: I grew up with a dog since I was 5, I absolutely love dogs and think they are so easy to dead with and fun to hangout with! My past dog had kidney issues and a specific diet so I have experience dealing with both low and high maintenance pups. I am currently in school but have a decent ammount of time during scattered throughout the day. I am very flexible on tuesdays, thursdays, and of course weekends. I am very caring and loving toward pets. I am respectful of peoples spaces and how they operate with their pets so am usually very good at taking care of the pet and making them love me back!
Barry Square dog parents share their Rover experiences
Rumi is our go to every time! Sky loves going to their house and he is always so happy when I pick him up. I can tell he is treated like one of the family and I always feel at peace when he is there. Thank you again Rumi & family for providing such a lovely stay for Sky and being so accommodating 🙏🙏

Didn’t get to meet Inam but Jennifer was amazing with my Ralphie! She’s very patient and kind, all the good qualities needed to take great care of your pets. They sent pictures and updates almost every day which was much appreciated. Looked like my pup had a lot of fun. I’ll definitely be using their services again!

This was my first time ever leaving my Freddy with someone he didn’t already know, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She took the time to meet Fred, sent me pics, and made him feel at ease right from the start. I got regular updates that completely put my mind at ease, and I could tell he was getting unlimited attention and love. I’d 100% trust her with him again!

We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter than Shannia! She took amazing care of our pet Nani over the 4th of July weekend. Despite the fireworks, she made sure Nani felt safe and comfortable by spending lots of time playing and cuddling with her. Shannia kept us updated throughout with plenty of adorable pictures and videos, which we really appreciated. We highly recommend Shannia for dog sitting — she is kind, attentive, and truly wonderful with pets. We will absolutely reach out to her again whenever Nani needs boarding. Thank you, Shannia, for being so amazing! ☺️
