“Sharon took great care of our cat! She stayed in touch with us throughout our vacation and sent pictures each day. We could tell our cat was enjoying her vacation, as well. Thank you for everything, Sharon!”

“Bethani was great! Stella clearly came home very happy and tired from all the play time / outdoor time she got. Photo updates throughout the stay were provided and communication was excellent. Highly recommend Bethani and will be keeping her in mind for future dog sitting needs!”

“Elaina took such great care of our Stella! She consistently sent updated pictures and videos of Stella and provided daily updates on her well-being. Stella received lots of loving attention just like at her home. We felt happy that Stella acted and looked very happy in every pic that was sent. Stella came back clean, and calm seemed to be so relaxed. We will be using Elaina again!! Great backyard for an active dog like Stella. She seemed to have made a new friend with "Bug", their dog and their sweet two-year-old daughter.”

“Absolutely love Cherish! She was so attentive to our pups they were missing her when we got home! She went way above and beyond! Highly recommend you reach out to her if you need someone to care for your pets while you are away! You just can’t have her when I need her! 😀”

“Melody was absolutely AWESOME!!! Our dog was very happy staying with her. She sent many great pictures of our dog that my kids loved. Very flexible with us. Thank you.”

“We cannot say enough about Katelyn and how she took such excellent care of our Charlie. She treated him like he was her own baby. She sent us so many pictures so we felt great while we were away. I cannot thank her enough! Charlie definitely fell in love with her. When we came today to get him, he seemed sad to leave her. Charlie obviously had a wonderful time! We will never trust anyone to care for Charlie except Katelyn in the future. And I know Charlie will be looking forward to being with her too!! If you want to feel comfortable leaving your baby with someone while you are away I highly recommend Katelyn. She is the real deal!!! Kathleen Calabrese”

“Mercedes doggysat our Sophia for 2 nights. She sent us sweet pictures and updates during our time away. With each picture I could see that our sweet maltipoo was so happy and felt comfortable where she was. A home away from home :) We felt complete peace knowing our Sophia was in such loving hands. We will definitely be requesting Mercedes to watch Sophia in the future. Definitely recommend!”

“WE had them care for our 2 dogs for 9 nights due to us traveling to Chicago for a medical procedure for my husband. We received text and pic updates that made us feel good about knowing that our dogs are in good care. Thank you for everything that you did to make our boys feel at ease and comfortable during their stay. Marty & Olga”

About: Your peace of mind and their happiness are my top priorities! I am dedicated to providing peace of mind to pet parents while they’re away. I understand how important your pets are to you, and I treat them like family. When your fur babies are in my care, they’ll receive plenty of attention, snuggles, and love. I have a large, fenced-in backyard where they can play safely and enjoy the outdoors. You will receive many updated, pics and videos while your pet is here having fun. I’m home 90% of the time and make it a priority to plan my activities around what best suits your pet’s individual needs. Whether it’s sticking to their diet, getting the perfect amount of playtime, or providing them with rest when needed, I tailor everything to their routine. I ensure that your pets feel included in everything I do, making them feel like they’re part of my family during their stay. Pet care is at the center of my daily routine. My life revolves around my clients’ schedules, and I always plan activities based on the pet’s specific needs. I try to stay home as much as possible, ensuring the pets feel safe and comfortable in their surroundings. During the day, your pets are free to hang out with me in the living room, kitchen, or even my bedroom. I aim to provide a routine that feels familiar and comforting to each pet, adjusting based on their personality and needs. My goal is to make them feel as relaxed and at home as possible during their stay! I care for pets with the same attention and love that I would give my own. In my home, I have a large, fenced-in backyard perfect for playtime and outdoor fun. I’m also centrally located in a wooded neighborhood, right across from a beautiful forest preserve, which means lots of fresh air and opportunities for nature walks. My split-level home gives me the ability to separate pets if there’s ever any tension, ensuring a peaceful environment for everyone. I’m home most of the time, so I’m always available to stick to your pet’s proper diet and administer any medication they may need. I’m flexible with pick-up times to accommodate your schedule, and I make sure that boarders in my home are treated like part of the family. Your pet will feel loved, safe, and comfortable, whether in my home or yours.
“Andrew did a great job with my pup. Great communication and I very much appreciated his flexibility. This was a vacation stay and if I’m in the area again, I would certainly work with him again.”

“Cynthia is a 10/10 Trusted Sitter. If I could give her over 5 stars on Rover, I most certainly would without hesitation. The ‘start to end’ booking process was seamless and she was excellent to communicate with. She was beyond accommodating and all I needed to really know upon pick up was how my Tegan behaved. She did not want to leave Cynthia’s side which was a GREAT sign. Thank you Cynthia and Miles for opening your new, clean home to Tegan and spending time with her. Having to travel often for work doesn’t make it easy leaving my dog daughter behind but knowing she’s in good hands with you and close by, makes a world of a difference. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for having this service as an option here in Polk County, TN!!! Looking forward to our next Rover boarding with you in a couple of weeks!”


“Joslynne was great. Orey was well cared for and had a great time. We got pictures so we knew our doggo was enjoying himself. He was happy to see us when we got back of course, but could tell as soon as he got home, that he was tired from having played with her dogs. Would use her again in a heartbeat.”

“What an outstanding time Gracie had staying with Darlene and her family! She had never had an overnighted at a strangers house before and now she had 7 in a row!! Darlene had invited us over for a pre-stay visit and within minutes both Gracie & I were sure we’d made a good choice. Darlene has a wonderful place catering to animals, with plenty of space away from traffic & everyday distractions with a fenced play area for the usual shenanigans. ? Both the house and her family (humans & dogs & cats) are so welcoming, safe and clean. As excited as she was to see me after 7 days, I could tell she wanted to stay longer. I anticipated that as Darlene sent photos and updates to me everyday. Gracie has mad some new friends and can’t wait for the next sleepover. Thank you Darlene!!”

“Emily and Samuel did amazing with my little buddy!! This was the longest I’d left him with someone and he did amazing! I credit that to their experience and confidence around him! Will definitely be booking them again ??”

“This was my first time with Brittany. I think she did a terrific job with Dixie. Dixie was safe, fed and came back home happy. I will definitely use Brittany again in the future 🩷🐶 I can tell she loves dogs 🐕 ❤️”

“Mandy and herr family treated Dude like family! The children played with him daily and he loved playing with their dogs as well. Mandy sent daily updates with pictures and videos. If you’re looking for someone to care for your dog like their own, I would highly recommend Mandy!”

“Absolutely amazing and stunning experience. Abigail was incredible! I got so many photos and videos. She took my dog to the dog park many times and even took him in to get a few toys when he chewed up the ones I sent with him. 100% my dog did NOT want to leave her, he had such a great time! Abigail is new to this platform, but has great experience. Definitely give her your business!”

Charleston pet parents share their Rover experiences
Deree and her husband were wonderful with our English bulldog, Parker! She’s not even a year old, so it meant a lot knowing they took extra care with her and paid attention to her needs as she can be very hyper at times and needs some re direction. I felt completely at ease the entire time knowing she was in such good hands. I forgot to pack enough food for the second day, and they stepped in without hesitation to make sure she was fed and well taken care of, which I really appreciated. Their yard is nice and fully fenced in, making it a safe and fun space for the dogs to play. Parker clearly had a great time she slept the entire day when she got home! Thank you so much for taking such great care of our girl. We will definitely be using you again!
