Matt is phenomenal and we couldn’t be happier with our experience! From the moment we dropped our dog off, it was clear how thoughtful, attentive, and genuinely caring he is. His home is welcoming and clearly set up with dogs in mind, and we felt completely at ease leaving our dog there overnight. We received great updates, and it was obvious our dog was comfortable, well cared for, and having a great time. When we picked him up, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly had been treated like one of the family. It’s such a relief to have a sitter we trust completely - this is exactly what you hope to find. We will absolutely be booking again and can’t recommend Matt highly enough!

Aaren & Jordon are truly wonderful puppy sitters! Throughout my pup’s stay with them, I received multiple updates during the day of the fun activities they were getting into. We were put at ease and loved to see our girl so happy while we were apart! We are thankful for them for welcoming our pup into their home with open arms.

During July 4th, we planned on going out of town for the weekend. We were impressed with Julie's rover profile and decided to contact her. We were able to meet up with her twice, once so that she could see our dog, and the second time so that Mozzie could check out her place. This was the first time since adopting him over a year ago that were had ever boarded him somewhere, so we were understandably nervous about it, but Julie proved to be a great sitter. She sent us status updates and pictures while we were away, so that we could know what Mozzie was up to. When we came to pick him up, she also helped us with tips and ideas on how to help Mozzie socialize with other dogs. We could definitely tell that Mozzie was in good hands. Definitely recommended!

Myrna is a lifesaver. My sitter canceled on me last minute and Myrna was available within the hour. Ellie usually is pretty shy in new places but she warmed up to Myrna quickly and had a great time.

Alex is so kind and provides the best care. My 5 year old Aussiedoodle is very nervous around new people and dogs. Alex was so mindful of her needs and helped her settle in quickly to a new place while we were away. She sent photos and updates which made me feel more at ease while on our trip. I will definitely board my dog with her again. I can’t recommend her enough!

Hilary was incredible with our pup, Indo! This was our first time using the rover service and our first time leaving Indo with someone who wasn’t family. She sent me updates and pictures on how Indo was doing and it really put us at ease knowing we left him with a sitter that really treats your pups like family! 10/10 would recommend Hilary and we will definitely be returning if we ever need her again in the future!

About: I bring over 10 years of dog care experience and 5+ years managing a stable multi-dog group. I carefully watch body language, work to prevent issues early, and keep feeding routines steady so each dog feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for. I’m comfortable working with multi-dog households, different energy levels, and group dynamics. My focus is creating a safe, structured, and positive environment where dogs can socialize, play, and settle comfortably. Pet care is part of my daily life. I’m home throughout the day and organize my schedule around the dogs in my care so they receive consistent supervision, play, and individual attention. I have a fenced backyard and fenced front yard, giving dogs safe space to move, explore, and play. Inside, I provide a dedicated dog room and crates for dogs of all sizes, creating a comfortable and secure place to rest when needed. Dogs are thoughtfully grouped by temperament, with attention to proper rest rotation and consistent feeding routines to support balance and comfort. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I focus on safety, supervision, and each dog’s individual needs. I follow established routines closely, maintain a steady and secure environment, and make sure every dog feels comfortable, cared for, and at ease.

Above and beyond care for Princess! This sitter didn’t just watch our fur baby; they truly cared for her. Every detail was handled with so much compassion, and it showed in how calm and content Princess was when we returned. Our sweet Princess was treated like family. We received thoughtful updates and photos and videos that reassured us every day. Exceptional care for our sweet Princess. Reliable, kind, and very attentive. Knowing she was safe and happy gave us total peace of mind. An absolutely wonderful experience overall! She was punctual, communicative, and incredibly kind with our pet. It’s such a relief knowing your furry family member is in safe and loving hands. We will definitely book again. A wonderful experience from start to finish. Highly Recommend!!

About: I love dogs so much and my experiences with them are endless! I have been around dogs and cats since a young age, senior-puppies-kittens. I have raised and trained a puppy before, dog sat many dogs in the past and have experience administering medication. 🐕 I am majoring in psychology to go into animal behavioral therapy, I’m knowledgeable on animal language and understand their boundaries. So I guarantee I will have your dog/cat feeling safe, loved, and cared for easily! 💛 I am currently free most days if not all of the week. I have classes on Wednesdays and Thursdays, but still may be relatively available these days. The best available times for me for drop-in/day-time care range from 8am-8pm each day. At my home I have a small fenced in backyard and I live in a walkable area nearby a park for walks and zoomies. Indoors or outdoors I will make sure your pet stays safe and entertained. Whether it’s brushies or playtime I can care for them in these ways in your home or in mine. 🐈‍⬛

I could tell that Fiona had a great time because she came home completely exhausted. Donetta was also flexible when I needed to extend the reservation and additional night. Thank you so much. Highly recommend! Will definitely book again!

Joanna was warm, friendly, and easy to communicate with from the start. She’s clearly a dog lover and has two dogs of her own, which made me feel comfortable leaving Rocco in her care. Communication was smooth throughout the stay. Rocco came home healthy, clean, and in good spirits. His personality was the same as usual, and he adjusted back easily. I appreciated the overall experience and would feel comfortable booking with her again.

Jakiya is SO lovely! Jakiya watched our young puppy, which was our first time leaving her. Jakiya was so attentive and very willing to follow all of our very specific puppy needs/details. She was an incredible communicator, sending frequent updates and pictures. Jakiya also went the extra mile for us when we had a last minute flight cancelation, helping us out and re-assuring us without any hesitations! She even went as far as to wash and pack up all of our puppy’s bedding and crate for a speedy hand off at pick up. I would 10/10 recommend her and will definitely be using her again for any future Rover needs!
