“Zenith cared for my dog from February 19–22, and I am so grateful for her. From the start, her communication was thoughtful and consistent. She sent sweet updates, photos, and videos that truly put my heart at ease. It was clear she treated him with genuine love and care, just like I would. I never once worried while I was away. I would happily book with her again and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for someone special to care for their pup.”
“I can’t say enough about Samantha! She accommodated a last minute request to board our pup Rosie when we had a travel emergency, and it gave us so much peace of mind. Samantha took great care of Rosie, gave us frequent updates and photos, and was so helpful preparing her for the next phase of her journey. Thank you Samantha!”
About: I am very good with dogs, because I pay attention to their body language. Dogs communicate through their eyes, body and barks. Similar to a person using sign language. Most communication is non-verbal and I definitely pay attention and make sure I treat every furry friend with respect and love. Dogs have feelings and like to socialize in healthy environments and that is what they will get with me as your dog sitter and / or dog walker. I will take your dog walking, I will check-in on your dog and play ball or tug of war with them, if that is what they like to do, I will provide water refills and food refills, even mix food upon request and follow instructions specific to your dog's need. I like to take dogs to the park, go jogging with dogs, belly rubs, hugs and playful affection. I like making dogs feel important, so they know they matter. This way, they feel happy and fulfilled while you are working or away on vacation, or away for that day or moment running errands. I am currently an entrepreneur. Trying to start my own pet business. Served, previously in the United States Air Force. Used to have an emotional support dog for 14 years who is no longer with us due to old age and health problems. That was my peace and joy who helped me through difficult times in my life. I actually feel happy spending time with dogs. Running with dogs, playing ball with dogs, training dogs, walking dogs, dog sitting and playing, cuddles and hugs! I make dogs feel important because they are our fur babies who deserve the best life can give them! I will give your dog fresh water, food, medication; if necessary, pay attention to their body language to figure out what they need from me to feel more comfortable and supported. If you have instructions or a routine I will follow those set of guidelines. I will keep all owners well informed with updated photos and possible videos on how their fur babies are doing! If they need a bathing that is extra, but I will clean your dog thoroughly after playtime. If, you want me to take your dog to the park, I love doing walks and runs in the park with your fur baby! Get all the extra energy out, so when you come home they are well satisfied and content. I have a house and a yard. Yard is not fully fenced in yet, but currently working towards fixing it or getting a new fence. My house is dog proof to keep all fur babies safe and happy, but there are always other options available to keep your dog as comfortable as possible. Depending on the service you hire me for pertaining to your pet.
“I can’t say enough amazing things about Deidre, her husband Chris, their kids, and their dog Cannoli! Our Ollie is afraid of most people and things, but they made him feel so welcome and he was calm and starting to open up during his stay with them. EXCELLENT communication from Deidre! We are so happy to have found another home for Ollie when we need one. Thank you so much for caring for our baby dog!!”
“Perfect. Reliable. Communicative. Flexible. Easy to work with. Lauren is a dog whisperer and our dog fell in love with her! She's knowledgeable about animals on a professional level and genuinely loves them. Our dog misses her already!”
“Lauren and Hunter were amazing with our dog during a week of boarding. It was our first time using Rover and they made the pocess super easy and sent us picture updates everyday. When I picked up my dog, she felt so at home at their place she barked when I knocked. I will definitely ask Lauren and Hunter for help again the next time we need a sitter. Give them a try, your dog will love it!”
“We can’t express how amazing Ginger is! Our pups are both rescues and have their own little quirks and needs. Our Margo is very anxious and attentive, and both pups aren’t the best walkers. Though, Ginger was so incredibly amazing with making sure they were comfortable and worked with them on their tendencies while taking them on wonderful long walks. She was so communicative, sharing pictures and updates throughout the stay, which meant the world to us so we knew how things were going. We can’t thank Ginger enough for how caring, friendly, and active she was with our pups!”
“Elizabeth is a rare find and absolute gem. She took such great care of my Luna, administering meds and getting her out for walks. Elizabeth provided frequent, excellent communication without being asked. Luna can be a bit extra sometimes and she was putty in Elizabeth’s hands. Thank you, Elizabeth!”
“This is my second time boarding my dog with Tamikia (she has also done dog walking for me!), and she kept up the photo updates and responsiveness. She truly loves animals.”
“Tim was great! Friendly demeanor and lives in a wonderful location with quick access to the SRT; our pup was very happy. He came home clean, loved, and well taken care of. We will absolutely reach out to Tim in the future!”

“Our Luna absolutely loves Alexis and is so comfortable with her! We sincerely appreciate the updates Lex sends and the peace of mind we have that Luna is in such loving and trusted care!! Thank you Lex!”
“I can't say enough nice things about Renee! This was my first time leaving Billie with a sitter and she made it such an awesome experience. She asked great questions to get to know Billie's needs and preferences and sent cute updates, even! What a huge difference from a kennel. Billie would be stressed and upset and wanted to be held when I would take her there, but when I picked up Billie from Renee's she seemed really happy!! Renee is a lovely person and a great sitter!”
“Cynthia took great care of my dog at her place. She followed instructions, kept me updated, and even made my dog rice to encourage her to eat. Her dog was very friendly with my nervous greyhound. They even played together in Cynthia’s back patio.”
“Tu-Anh cares so much about the health and happiness of the dogs she looks after. Grace enjoyed her stay and was happy and relaxed when I picked her up.”
“Shakira is amazing. She is so friendly and takes wonderful care of my dog Stella. She sends updates and pictures throughout the day and gave Stella lots of love and attention. Shakira is really responsive on rover and is always right on time when I drop Stella off or pick her up. Shakira even gave Stella a bath so she came home smelling great.”
“Glenda was loving and attentive to Blair & sent many pictures to reassure us that everything was going well. And Trufa is a very sweet dog…we will reach out next time we need help!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Blackwood
2nd time using Rover. 1st time with Nicole and Eric. We have a longer trip coming up and wanted to do a quick overnight before, to make sure everyone jived. Nicole is very responsive and made me feel at ease. Ringos a chihuahua and felt real comfortable since they have chihuahuas. Flexible with pickups and drop offs.
Danielle was amazing! You can tell she absolutely loves animals. We could tell just from meeting her that Cannon and Chup were in good hands when we boarded them. We requested to board last minute and she was great about it. Danielle sent plenty of updates as well.
Stacy did a great job with Burt. He seemed to enjoy their animals and looked like he may have gained a “happiness” pound…usually he looses a bit with being away from I’m home and his routine, but this time he filled out a smidge and that was a good sign. Stacy always sends us pictures and lets us know how Burt is doing. We enjoy taking Burt there knowing that he will be well cared for and happy.
Adrianne was wonderful with Lucky! From the very beginning, I really appreciated how available, responsive, and communicative she was. She kept us updated on Lucky throughout his stay, which gave me so much peace of mind and made me feel like he was in great hands the entire time. I felt very comfortable leaving Lucky with her. I would definitely recommend Adrianne to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their pet, and I would absolutely leave Lucky with her again!
So happy Karleigh was available to watch Dingo again (: He had such a great time as always and had fun with their pup Noodle and was calm and relaxed when we picked him. He really loved staying with them at their new house with a wonderful fenced in big backyard. Perfect setup for him to feel safe and comfortable. She sent us pictures, videos, and updates which was really sweet and we were not worried about him at all. Outstanding sitter! Will definitely book her again. They are the best. Highly recommend (:
Kaila was such a wonderful sitter for my girl GG. She made sure GG was the only dog she was watching because GG can be picky about other dogs. She sent me daily updates, even shared concerns about GG licking herself sore at her elbow, and had it treated and healed before I even got back. I could tell from the photos that GG was happy and felt comfortable and well cared for. She provided pick up and delivery service as well which was super helpful in the middle of travel planning. I hope any time I plan a trip, Kaila is available and able to take care of her while I am away.
Lynn was the absolute best. I have never left my dog overnight with someone other than family, and I trusted her right after meeting her. My very anxious dog loved her. I feel so lucky to have found someone like Lynn. She played with him, walked him many times, welcomed him right into her home like he was her own dog. We are so appreciative of having such a positive first experience with leaving Ty and will absolutely be using her in the future!
