“this was my first time using rover. Beckett watched my mom’s dogs with little notice and cared for them for 5 days while my mom was in the hospital. The dogs came home happy and worn out!! Absolutely will be using again for my own dogs!!”

“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.”

About: I've taken care of pets since I was in college. I have experience in small pets, fish, reptiles, dogs and cats. I know how to administer medication including giving injections, and I can do basic grooming. I work full-time for as a professional driver but look after pets on my weekends since I tend to be a homebody! I'm also open to checking on pets during the week and doing the occasional walk. I have a fenced in yard that is suitable for small dogs and large dogs with plenty of space to run! My house is dog and cat proofed as well.
“Ashleigh took great care of my pups, one of which requires plenty of extra attention. She had great communication so I always knew they were in good hands.”
“Chloe’s kennels were perfect for my pupper. Plenty of space to run around and the kennels were separated by a fence so he was able to smell and greet the other dogs. He slept the entire day after he got home! Will use again!”
“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”
“We are SO grateful for Kat. She allowed our Dakota to stay in her home for a week while we were away for our wedding. Before the week vacation began, I was so nervous to leave Dakota with someone I didn’t know, we’d never done that before. Though, Kat went above and beyond. She moved plants around in her home to help keep Dakota safe. She allowed Dakota to drink water from the sink, like she does at home, to help keep Dakota happy! During the stay, she sent pictures and updates each day. And at the end, she had everything packed and ready to go for me upon pick up! It couldn’t have been a better experience and Kat a more perfect sitter. We will definitely be asking Kat for her help in the future! Thank you!!!!!!!”
“Nova had a great stay with Nathan! His responses were incredibly prompt. He was accommodated a last minute request to watch our dog for a week. His communication was fantastic and we had no concerns leaving our dog with him while we were gone. Will definitely use again!”
“Izzy had a great time with Danielle and her pups! Danielle responded quickly to texts and sent lots of pictures so I would know Izzy was comfortable. Would definitely recommend!”
“Our Marley had a great day with Aimee and family! Would not hesitate to book again in the future. Thanks for taking great care of our furry family member.”
“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.”
“Erin took care Neo very well. Seems Neo was happy Neo had a great time with Erin and her two dogs.. He seems to be very happy during his stay. I thank Erin to look after Neo. Definitely I would use her again for sure.”
About: Grew up with dogs my whole life. Treat my own dog like a mini human with loving and care. Very attention to detail person when it come to animal care It’s an every day practice for me before and after work. Long walks after work. It’s also routine to brush and make sure my dogs clean every day. I have a privacy fence backyard for plenty of place to run. I’m also super protective of my dog and don’t let anybody pet her unless I let them.
