“Thank you again! Saige had a wonderful time playing with you, your family and the other dogs! She was very well taken care of during her stay. She is even showing more interest in playing frisbee.”
“Mule was so wonderful with our two dogs! She communicated regularly and sent lots of pictures and even some videos. She's very attentive and the pictures showed how much fun everyone was having.”
“Beckett was very understanding of Marley’s needs. Very responsive and they sent me lots of updates. This was Marley’s first time away from family in 7 years and I was worried. But he had a wonderful time from what I can see. Beckett took great care of him! Would definitely recommend”
“Travis and Danielle were fantastic at every point in the process. They were great to communicate with, and our dog had a great time staying with them. They are easily one of the best hosts we've worked with so far on Rover! We can not recommend them enough!”
“Steve was absolutely wonderful with our dogs! They had a great time with him at his home and enjoyed lots of walks, rubs, naps and exploring. Steve sent pictures to us a few times each day to show us how well they were doing. They came home happy and healthy. We'll absolutely be booking again.”
“Jena was absolutely fabulous. This was our first time leaving our puppy and I was a little nervous. He is a small dog with a lot of energy and not everyone is up to the challenge. From her updates and photos, I could tell Jena loves Frodo as much as we do and he was in great hands! She was super responsive, helpful, and knowledgeable too when we chatted about him at pickup. I’ll definitely use Jena again and recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter!”
“I recently entrusted Maxwell with caring for my dog, Mattie & Daisy, and I was incredibly pleased with their reliability, trustworthiness, and the evident care he provided. Maxwell consistently went above and beyond, ensuring Mattie & Daisy were well-fed, exercised, and happy during their stay. He was punctual, communicative, and always willing to address any questions or concerns I had. I highly recommend Maxwell to anyone seeking a trustworthy and caring dog care provider.”
“Tiffany and family were great with my old pup. They made him feel part of the family while we were gone and were responsive with communication. They were flexible with pick up time when our flight was delayed.”
“Very nice family and sent lots of photos for only being there 1 day. Seems to have a good understanding of dog behavior. Their dog is very quiet and well behaved. Large fenced backyard with a big shade tree. I would recommend Aimee for dog sitting.”
“Jessica and her husband are AMAZING! They took such good care of our two boys as if they were their own. Our dogs are high energy and can be a lot to handle but they felt right at home from the start. We received photos and updates everyday that made us feel like they were in extra good hands. Thank you so much ♥️”
“Ashleigh was so so caring and conscientious in her care of our slightly grumpy and annoyed older dog! Definitely the best possible care out there! We will definitely be back. :)”
“One of the best experiences I have had on Rover. They sent pictures of the dogs playing and having fun. They were even super accommodating when we were very late to pick up due to traffic issues. 10/10 would recommend.”
“Nathan was amazing. Communication was wonderful. I could tell from photos that Wrigley was having a great time. Wrigley is skittish with new people, which concerned me. He warmed up pretty well at meet and greet. Not to the point he would let Nathan pet him, but he didn’t bark or growl at him. To me that was perfect. Nathan was patient and kind. I would recommend him to anyone in our area.”
“Alice is nothing short of amazing!! We’ve never boarded our dog before and I was looking on rover for someone and found her profile. We did a meet and greet at her house. Our pup Jax took a little bit to warm up but after that he was fine! Alice is very kind, informative and worked with our schedule. We needed someone for 10 days. She also had no issues with his eating schedule. While we were on vacation she kept us informed on how Jax was doing. She also went out of her way to make sure we were having a great vacation as well and told us not to worry one bit. Her home is very cozy, clean and welcoming. She has a lot of room for any pet to roam around. She also has a great sized back yard which Jax loved. We will most definitely always contact Alice when we need any babysitting or boarding services! I think Jax would’ve stayed longer if we would’ve let him. :) We could tell Jax was treated exceptionally well and he had a great time. Thanks again! Jen&Casey”
About: I have lots of puppy care experience, and I know how to take care of all types of breeds. I will make sure your animals are loved and treated like family!

Rebecca T.
“Becca’s my dogs favorite person!!! I have yet to meet someone who’s more genuinely happy to be around fur babies of any species. Becca took great care of our new not yet potty trained puppy for a week and when we got back from vacation we got a fully potty trained puppy! The dogs were happy and well cared for. We were also happy and well cared for since Becca sent us regular updates and pictures! Our puppies and their humans fully endorse Becca!”
Nicole B.
“Nicole did an awesome job with Lainey! She sent pictures and videos to me daily while I was gone. Lainey was super happy in all of them.”

Austin did a great job with Teddy while we were out of town for a week. His dog Sadie is a gem, ands Teddy got along really well with her. We are always a little nervous to leave Teddy with a new sitter due to his size, but this was a very good experience and we’ll be using Austin again in the future.
Alex is great with Ruby - she gets anxious when going to a kennel but she loves hanging out with Alex and his family. Alex is great at communicating and sending pictures of what they are up to and I love it. This is our second time using Alex and we will definitely use him again next time.
