8. Amy D.

“I was so nervous boarding our two dogs with a Rover sitter vs a facility, but both Amy and her husband took SUCH good care of our babies. I had a family emergency and had to leave them for five days. They went on tons of walks, got ample amounts of snuggles, and I was updated with pictures every step of the way. I could focus on family knowing they were in excellent hands, and we will certainly be using them again!”

My dog is my baby, and I do not just leave her with anyone. I will definitely be using Makhayla in the future if she will have Gracie.”

16. Cait B.
About: I have been a dog mom for more than 9 years but have grown up with a house full of animals, so I feel my experience with animals goes far beyond a decade. I have crate trained multiple puppies, and litter box trained kittens and rabbits. I am now learning senior care for my own fur-baby, a Yorkie mix. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, from the smallest baby to the biggest, bestest pups. You can trust your pup will be in excellent hands. When boarding at my house, your pup will get lots of outdoor playtime. Or, for senior dogs or tiny babies who prefer to a cushy indoor life, snuggles would be on the schedule! Whatever the need is! I spend all my weekend time at home, so your pup would not be left unattended for any length of time. I have two dogs of my own, but there is plenty of space for new friends in my home. My 9-year-old pup, Daisy, is more cat than she is dog, and tends to seek out high places to avoid new fur friends. But my 1-year-old Australian shepherd, Dax, is always eager to play and greets. Dax is submissive, and will lay on his back to play no matter the size of your pup. Both of my doggies are also good with cats. I guarantee that stays with me are far more comfortable, safe and fun than any traditional boarder or kennel -- all of which means less stress for nervous pet parents! I am available almost every weekend. I have two dogs that I have built my schedule around. Working out of the home most week days means I spend all my weekend time at home. My hours are flexible and bend entirely at the will of what my pets need -- the same would be true for any fur-babies I am trusted to sit. My home offers a nice sized, mostly private yard. It is not fenced. Dogs with off-leash training have plenty of space to run without leaving the yard. Leashed play time is also not a problem. I am very active with my dogs, running alongside them to play outside or going for long walks on our quiet street. Pets are always 100% supervised when outside.


17. Ashley & Bob B.


“Ashley was wonderful with our 3 very energetic dogs! She was very laid back and sent daily updates and pictures. We felt great leaving our dogs with her and they were well cared for! Will definitely use her again!”


18. Mary L.

“They were absolutely amazing with Nellie. We couldn't of have had a better experience. Nellie enjoyed her time with them and they treated her very well. It was our first time leaving Nellie with anyone and the random updates on her with pictures and videos helped ease our minds during our time away. We would definitely recommend them to anyone who is looking for pet care/boarding.”


19. Alexis A.

“Alexis was amazing! This was our first experience with a Rover sitter and I was a little nervous, but Alexis was incredibe and communicated with us throughout our pups visit and sent a lot of great photos! She was so sweet and our pups really enjoyed their stay! I'd recommend her to any of our friends!”




20. Alina L.


“Alina was great and took care of Mishka as if she were her own. She sent lots of pictures and asked for my permission before taking my dog to a dog park. We will definitely be coming back.”
