“Kim was great with our pup. He came home very happy. Trusting someone you don’t know well with part of your family isn’t easy. But from the moment I dropped my dog off, I knew instantly he would be loved and cared for. I had no fears leaving him and would absolutely recommend Kim as a sitter/boarder. My family does a lot of traveling and I would be more than pleased to have her watch him again!”
“Ralph was very friendly and took very good care of our 1 year old Milo (large lab mix). We were new to Rover and Ralph was a great ambassador for the service. We plan to book a stay for Milo at Ralph's home with Rover again. Thank you Ralph for your services!!”
“Kayti is awesome!!! First time for my pooch was a great experience and we plan to have more. I was updated with photos and could tell that my dog was having a great time! I highly recommended.”
“Susan was great! very communicative and flexible. We came from out of town for a wedding and just needed someone for the night and it worked out great. Calvin, my dog, is a very dog friendly dog and got along with her dog finn very well who seems mild tempered. Susan sent me pictures and reassured me that Calvin was enjoying himself. If we’re ever back in the area I will definitely be using Susan again.”
“Logan is a fantastic dog sitter! He went above and beyond with communication about my Cheyenne. He was incredibly conscientious about making sure she ate, exercised, and was generally happy. I am very grateful Logan was available on short notice, and I’m glad he and Chey hit it off, as I will surely reach out to him again.”
“Thank you Vickie! Bita and Bash had a great time. We will definitely be back for another stay. Your cozy, homey, dog friendly atmosphere is exactly what our pups need for boarding.”
“Jessica was amazing with our pups. She kept us updated on how their days were going along with pictures and video. I would definitely book with her again and anyone reading this should as well.”
“Alisha was amazing to work with! She took great care of my dog, Ruger, and kept me updated the whole time. I received lots of cute pictures of Ruger and her dog, Bella, playing together. She has a big fenced in backyard which gave Ruger lots of opportunities to get in his exercise and to play with Bella. I highly recommend Alisha to look after your fur baby and I will definitely be taking Ruger to her again if I need a sitter.”
“10 out of 10. No Notes. Attentive. Responsive. Patient. Understanding. Just a few words to describe Erin and the level of care she (and her family) provided. Each day, I received photos and videos, including some behavior updates (Pearl is a puppy after all). While Pearl was excited to see me, I could tell she missed Erin and her family— whimpering the entire car ride home. :) Without hesitation, I would book Erin again. One of the best Rover sitters I have ever experienced.”
“Michelle was great! This was the first time I’ve used Rover and I was nervous leaving my dogs for the weekend but they seemed to have a great time with her and I’m so grateful!”
About: I regularly care for the dogs of friends and family and thought I’d open my home to Rover as I’m also a client. I have a fenced yard and a 3y goldendoodle + lab mix who is very friendly with all dogs big and small. We enjoy field trips to parks and walking the neighborhood. I have a somewhat flexible work schedule, but I’m at the office most days 9-5. I can come home on lunch or work from home a few days as needed, but mostly we walk and do field trips after work. I have a big fenced in yard and I have a crate and plenty of toys available as well as food dishes. My dog Bailey roams freely while I’m out, but he can also be crated if that would be best for your pet. He loves new friends and we’re happy to do a play date meeting at your convenience.
“Bennet did an amazing job with our 1yo Frenchie-away from home for the first time. Honeybun came home happy and clean, well fed and having made new dog friends. We received pictures and frequent updates and appreciated them all. We look forward to using Bennet’s services again in the future! Thank you so much!!🙏💕”
“Sarah helped me out last minute with boarding my two dogs while I left town on an impromptu vacation. She was very kind, communicated timely, and gave me updates on how much fun my babies were having while I was gone. I don’t know what all she did, but the dogs I got back were so much more behaved! I will definitely be booking with Sarah again for training sessions!”
“Kaleigh was great with my dogs! She took great care of them while we were out of town. Sent me several pictures too which eased my mind about having a new sitter. Will definitely rebook with her in the future. Thanks Kaleigh for everything you did for the girls!”

Kim was incredible! Our mini schnauzer is 2 1/2 yrs old and has never been away from us. We were definitely concerned but from the time we dropped him off and picked him up we knew he was in good hands. Kim immediately put our mind at ease and kept in touch with updates and photos. We definitely recommend Kim and will use her again.
Stacey is a Pro, a true animal lover and thinks of everything! Her easy going manner makes our communications very positive. She shares video and pictures daily and I appreciated her quick turnaround in responding to my texts. I will definitely reach out to her in the future to care for our corgi pups!
