Irv was a dream! He took such good care of Amaka. I could tell through his updates and other actions that he truly liked watching Amaka. He’s also made me a better owner. Will definitely use him again!

Oliver had the best weekend staying with Vinata, her husband and daughter. He had so much fun playing with doggie friends and snuggling with the family. They sent lots of pictures and videos the whole weekend, which was so nice! Oliver can’t wait to come back!

About: Hi! I specialize in puppy care, separation anxiety, and brachycephalic breeds. Having a Bulldog of my own has taught me firsthand how to handle the unique needs of smushy-faced dogs — from monitoring breathing to keeping them cool and comfortable. For anxious or velcro dogs, I provide a calm, attentive environment with plenty of reassurance. Puppies get the extra patience, structure, and supervision they need to feel right at home. 🐾 I work remotely full-time, which allows me to be home throughout the day. I do have occasional meetings during the week, but they are typically under 1.5 hours and scheduled in advance. Your dog will not be left alone for long stretches of time. I can accommodate morning, mid-day, and evening walks and potty breaks. I’m happy to communicate my schedule ahead of time so you feel fully comfortable. I am fully attentive to the animals. I can provide multiple water/feeding bowls, cooling mats, toys, can give dogs medicine, and lots of love! I guarantee I will respect all boundaries and follow all your directions.

Queeny took excellent care of our pup! She shared pictures and videos every day to keep us updated how he was doing. Her communication was excellent, very responsive, and she was flexible when we encountered a delay in our travel plans that impacted our scheduled pick-up time. We will definitely have Queeny watch our pup again the next time we take a vacation!

Angelina was absolutely wonderful watching our dog for a week while we were out of the country. She was incredibly accommodating and made the whole process so easy. She went above and beyond by sending frequent pictures and updates throughout our trip. It was clear from every update that our pup was happy, comfortable, and very well cared for. Angelina’s training experience and background made her an excellent fit for our Aussie/ border collie/beagle mix. We felt completely at ease knowing he was in such capable hands and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter.

Over and beyond doesn’t even come close. We had a meet and greet and clicked instantly. Dianne took such great care of my fur baby Diesel. When I dropped him off they had a chalkboard that said, “Welcome Diesel”. He went on vacation when his mom did too! I received updates on his breakfast, walks, & snuggles and the cutest pictures each day. She replies so quickly to messages and takes such great care of my dog. When I came to pick him up they made two crafts with Diesels dog prints. I am so happy with her service and so glad I met her through Rover. She opened her home & her heart to us and I’m so overjoyed. Don’t hesitate and book her now! She’s the best! She makes you feel like family. I will be using her again in the near future. ❤️

What an amazing host family! Tanuja took all the appropriate steps to make me and spice feel welcome and comfortable with this being a first time host. We had a meet and greet so both dogs could get comfortable with each other and after that moved towards hosting. She kept me well informed and was very thorough with making sure she had everything to care for spice. I would definitely book again with her in the future and would recommend her to anyone who asked.

Our two pups enjoyed their recent stay with Susan and her husband very much. They’re very nice people and we never doubted that our dogs were being well cared for and getting lots of love. We received daily reports, lots of pictures and prompt replies anytime we checked in. It was a great overall experience and we definitely plan to use them again. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a safe, loving environment for their dogs.

Dianne exceeded my expectations. This was my first time using Rover, and I was apprehensive about leaving my dog with strangers. However, I decided to try it because my dog, Saffron, has been extremely stressed out when I've left her at her usual boarding facility. My worries were quickly put to ease when I met her and Judi during our Meet & Greet session, and again when I brought Saffron to their home yesterday. Right away, Saffron made herself queen of their domain, and I could tell she felt comfortable with them. I had no concerns about leaving her with them overnight. Dianne kept me updated on Saffron throughout the evening, sending both pictures and video, as well as text updates. Saffron enjoyed lots of walks, snuggling with them on the couch, and cuddling at night. When they say one of them is home 24/7, they mean it. They accommodated her small size and advanced age by placing foam stairs at their sofas and bed so she could whiz up and down. When I picked her up today, while she was happy to see me, she also continued to snuggle with them and prance around their home even while I was there. I could tell she bonded with them. I will bring her again soon for a week-long visit and have zero qualms about them watching Saffron again. Even though we had to make a long trek from our home to theirs (over an hour due to construction), it was worth it. I'd drive three hours each way to bring Saffron to them. This is so much better suited for her than boarding her in a kennel. She truly thrived in their care and was fully doted on.

Anna was a wonderful pet sitter. Ozzy stayed with her for the first time for 3 days and he truly didn’t want to leave. He genuinely missed Anna and her dog when we took him home. She sent multiple pictures each day so that I could see how content he was. I will definitely be booking Anna again and highly recommend her.
