“Camila and Omar were amazing. They were responsive and flexible for the last minute request. They were very communicative and loving to Elmer. With a big back yard Elmer left their home happy and tired. Thank you.”


“Chantel and Neil (and their kids!) were so great with our dog when they watched her for a week. We heard from them everyday with pictures or videos and it was great to watch her play with their dog or just laze around with their family. It was important to us that our dog being a comfortable environment that felt as much like home as it could, and Chantel and Neil certainly provided that. We will certainly rebook in the future.”

“I’m so thankful I found Kristen! She is such a kind and caring person and instantly my pup took to her without hesitation! She answered any questions I had and gave reassurance. We were gone for a few days and missing our dog so receiving photos and seeing her happy was a great feeling/experience! Highly recommend!”

“I have been using Karly and the family for a couple months now. I started with daycare and now have done a few nights of boarding. I couldn’t be more happy with their services. Hobey loves going to their house and let’s out a happy bark as we pull up. Hobey is a very interactive dog and doesn’t like to be left alone; so one might say he is high maintenance. The fact that he is comfortable here and enjoys going is evidence of the effort they put in to making sure he is having a good day. Karly is always sharing pics of Hobey enjoying himself which I like getting throughout the day. They have a great backyard that Hobey enjoys playing in. I will continue using them for all my daycare and boarding needs.”

“I wish I could leave more than five stars. Mairim and her family were beyond fantastic. The care that her and her family put into taking care of your (our) dog is clearly evident. Her place is an oasis for dogs (and people) and she is extremely professional. I highly recommend her…you and your pet will not be disappointed.”

“Lesley was great with our two dogs. She was very communicative and sent frequent updates and pictures. My little Brody has a bit of a nervous stomach in new settings and she took great care of him.”

“Melissa and Dan were great while I was in the hospital for two days and an overnight. They truly went above and beyond to keep my toy poodle Charlie feeling secure and comfortable. Dan walked her according the the schedule she was used to and even let her sleep on his chest when she was missing her mom too much to stay in the crate overnight. I can't say enough how grateful I am for their attention and sensitivity to her needs. And for all the photo updates. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again for boarding Charlie.”

“I would recommend Anwar to any and everyone! We had a death in the family and had to drive around to NC with just a week notice. During times like this, we are grateful that we found a sitter that is reliable and we can absolutely trust to care for Otis.”


“Monica had our 4 month old puppy overnight for the second time. She’s wonderful. It was our wedding and with all the hustle of the day we forgot his food. She offered to feed him with no problems. He always comes home clean and happy. We will definitely be using her for our Goose many more times in the future.”

“Shiloh enjoyed her stay with Ms.Jessica and her family . Very informative & kept me updated with Shiloh frequently. Has a very beautiful home & big backyard for your pup to play . An vacation from home to her lol .”

About: As a kid and into my teen years, I raised roughly 7 Seeing Eye Dogs for the blind. We had each dog for the first year of their lives before they went on to do amazing work. Even as a kid I was to-go to person for tips and tricks for the adults. I have always absolutely loved dogs. They’re an amazing part of my life, always will be. I absolutely love spending time with dogs and puppies. I enjoy the flexibility that comes with this scheduling. I also enjoy that I get to spend time with new dogs throughout the week. I will always treat your dog or puppy as I would treat my own. With all the love in the world and give them everything that they need want or required. My goal is a happy puppy. Happy puppy means happy owners. And that means everybody’s happy.
“Ellen was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Xena! She was so sweet and patient, making sure Xena got her medicine on time and stuck to her food and bathroom schedule. Ellen treated her like one of her own, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She also sent frequent updates and pictures throughout the day, which we really appreciated. Her dog, Dot, is just as sweet as she is and got along perfectly with Xena. We highly recommend Ellen to anyone looking for a loving and reliable dog sitter!”

“Steven and his family have taken very good care of our dog and provided updates everyday with pictures. We highly recommend Steven and will definitely use their services again.”

“Meena and her husband are very responsible dog sitter. They sent photos of Sunny although it was just 1 day stay. They accommodated my request as well. I definitely like to my dog stay Meena's place in the future.”

“Kimberly did amazing with our Great Pyrenees Franklin, who is usually quite anxious of new spaces, new people and bad weather. I was amazed when Kimberly was sending photos of them on the couch together and Franklin getting belly rubs a day into his stay during a nor’easter. Kimberly provided a safe space for him with a backyard for him to explore and feel comfortable in. Thank you again.”

“Our Layla loves being taken care of by Kerri and Harry! They treat Layla like one of their own and follow all of our care instructions. It is always evident that Layla had a good time when we pick her up. We can not recommend Kerri and Harry enough!”

“One of the premier providers on this website. Angela and her family took better care of our dog than we do. Wonderful people. Exceptionally caring and attentive. Overall great experience. Thank you Angela!”

“Swapna was the best! She truly treated Bolo like family. So much so that Bolo did want to come home! Swapna sent updates, videos and pictures. Comnunication was great! She has a huge fenced yard for your " pup to play in! She is now my go to on Rover.”

“Extremely satisfied with our babies care! The whole family loved her as their own. Never had any issues or concerns very open and communicative! Definitely would recommend and she will definitely be back! ♥️”

“Jackie is the best sitter for your dog if you need peace of mind, safety, love, accountability, and everything that is needed for a great dogsitter! We were very nervous about leaving our baby and visited many dog sitters before finding Jackie. Immediately we trusted her and saw in her the warmth and attention and professionalism that we needed. She is well knowledged with all dogs and works with you and according to your specific dog's needs. Her home is a perfect environment and she communicates wonderfully. She is a responsible and calm sitter who will present you with zero red flags. Most importantly is the peace of mind you will get knowing that your dog is getting the protection and the love and caring warmth that you can just sense. Affection. Our dog sensed her safety and love and took to her right away (which he rarely does with new people) It is hard to find that peace of mind especially if your dog is a child to you. Trust me completely. Jackie saved us from worry and nothing means more than knowing that your pet will get loved and cared for and treated the way you treat your pet yourself. She is affectionate and sweet and also relaxed enough to allow your dog to sleep with her and take over the home...being "chill" is also important because you dont want your dog to suddenly have strict rules and to be afraid of a new environment with new rules. Jackie is very relaxed and will not be strict or demanding of your dog. She is attentive to the food needs, senior needs, bathroom habits, anything that is needed she attends to. But in a gentle and correct way. We didn't want our dog to suddenly be in a strict environment with a strict new person. She provides the opposite. Just a safe and loving home... but with a sitter that watches your dog and provides the care ..not halfway but whole and responsibly. I am a worried and concerned and judgemental dog mom who wanted only the best for our baby. I was naturally wary of who I was choosing since it meant so much. So believe me completely when I tell you that if you are discerning too ..but want a wonderful, warm, safe, professional environment for peace of mind and a good home while you are away so you dont have to call a million times and worry and wonder... Jackie is the answer. We will leave him with her in a heartbeat again without any worries. Nothing can buy peace of mind and trust. She was a true find for us. We got lucky.”

Central West dog parents share their Rover experiences
Camilla and Omar's entire family was delightful and very loving with Oscar. He especially loved running in their big fenced yard chasing Tantor as well as the other pets they were taking care of. Even though they weren’t able to take him on walks, they made sure he got plenty of exercise and outdoor time running in the backyard. He seemed to be having a lot of fun based on the innumerable photos they shared. They were great at communicating with us by giving multiple daily updates on Oscar, which helped put us at ease while we were away. Their home was clean with a great loving vibe. We highly recommend Camilla and Omar as excellent pet sitters. We will certainly use their services again! Thank you Camilla & Omar.

Barbara and her husband were absolutely wonderful! They took such great care of my pup and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. It’s clear they truly love animals—and they’re just amazing people overall. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

Jerrica has been dog-sitting Belle for years, and we couldn’t ask for anyone better! Every time we drop Belle off, she’s so happy and excited to see Jerrica. We always have complete peace of mind knowing our pup is in such excellent hands. Jerrica sends us regular photos and videos and takes amazing care of Belle. She truly goes above and beyond, and we’re so grateful for her!

Lauren was excellent, she took great care of our dog Rambo. She was very prompt with her communication and met every single request without any hesitation. We were so happy and relieved to receive daily updates via pictures of Rambo along with her dogs during his stay. I am very satisfied and look forward to using Lauren’s service for future boarding/pet-sitting needs for Rambo.
