“I was very happy with Jenevieve taking care of my puppy. She has lots of energy and she seemed to handle that very well. She came home at ease. I will use her again for Zippy.”
“Highly recommend booking a stay with Samantha and her husband. Right away they were very welcoming and all my nerves of leaving my dog were at ease. She makes sure to send multiple pictures each day and provided updates on how Charlie was doing each day and night as well as the activities they did! Will definitely book Charlie another stay with Samantha when I need to leave town again!!”
“Jessica will be our first call the next time we need to board our dogs. She took care of them like they were her own, was very organized and responsive with communication. This was our first time using Rover, but now I can’t imagine sending our dogs back to the kennel.”
“We needed a sitter at the last minute and Clare was able to take our little dog. I feel she took wonderful care of Chewey with ample walks and plenty of attention and sent pictures of a happy dog relaxing in the sun.”
“We are very happy with the care our Dachshund mix, Sophie received from Lisa and Dennis. Our girl is very timid and not friendly with strangers. They worked with her and in the short time she was with them, started to open up a bit. We will definitely try to schedule with them in the future if the need arises!”
“Cliff did an amazing job with my dogs, Belle and Ollie. We typically use family or our Nanny for dog care so I was initially a little concerned as to how my pets would respond to being in a new home. Cliff put any concerns I had to rest the first time I met him. He is very organized, has created a very pet friendly environment and generally just a good person. During our time away he checked in regularly and included a bunch of pictures...which my kids loved! I would strongly recommend Cliff to anyone looking for a kind and responsible dog sitter. I plan to use him again the next time we travel!”
“Casandra was amazing. I was a first time customer and a bit uncertain how Rover worked. Casandra took the time to meet my dog and me in advance of my reservation to both answer my questions and allow my dog to acclimate to her overnight accommodations. Casandra took pictures of my dog playing and sent them to me daily - it totally put my mind at ease! I will definitely use Casandra again! Again, she was fantastic. Highly recommend her and her services!”
“Patty was great to work with and always prompt with responses. I appreciate the updates and pictures. I let her know I have a nervous dog and she was open to a meet and greet and asked what would help my dog to be comfortable while he was with her. Will use her again. Thanks Patty!!”
“Another great visit with Christy and Ekram. I’ve never left my baby with someone else this long but they sent pictures and updates every day and made a huge effort to make sure she started eating again.”
“Elizabeth kept us so informed on our pups adventures! Multiple pictures and updates throughout each day. It was easy to see what a passion she has for animals. Cannot recommend her enough!”
About: I have spent my entire life around animals, especially larger, older dogs. I am home full time while classes are online and am very flexible with sitting times. I am currently taking classes online for the summer, so I have plenty of time to take care of your furry friends! I tend to be busier on the weekends but if you give enough time in advance I am pretty flexible. I live in an apartment complex, and don't have a yard, so animals will have to be leashed when outside. I do not have a lot of space, so smaller animals are preferred, especially for longer stays.
“Cory was very responsive and had great communication before and during Moose’s stay! When we picked up Moose after his stay he was happy and tired. He even got to meet new friends! Cory was easy going and handled my high energy dog well!”
“Oh my gosh! I cannot say enough good things about Lucia and our Chip’s stay with her! She accommodated us very last minute and was the perfect fit for our fur baby! She took him on long walks and even sent us picture updates! Your fur baby will be in the best of hands when staying with her!”
“This was our first rover experience and I don’t think we could have asked for a better one. Ashly took great care of snoopy and sent me some cute pictures as well. He had so much fun playing with the other dogs. We will definitely be back!”
About: I’ve been trusted and relied on to take care of and love family and neighbors dogs of all sizes and needs while they have been away for a weekend or on extended vacations I work fully from home so I am always here to care care of and attend to your animals needs and to take a needed walked over lunch. I have a fully fenced in backyard with no dogs on either side of me. Your dog is more than willing to run and play and will get plenty of walks.
“We hit the jackpot with Ashley and her family- both human and furry! We left our quirky little guy, Dewey, with her for over a week. He can be anxious around new people and in new places. He was so comfortable with Ashley and loved her yard. They loved on him and let him be his quirky self. We will definitely be repeat clients of Ashley’s any time we need a place for Dewey to stay.”
“This was our second time boarding our shy little firecracker with Carson and we couldn't have found a better sitter! Carson sent pictures and videos everyday and is so competent with chihuahuas. She put us at ease from the very start and is flexible. She rolled right with it when we got scatterbrained and gave her 10-minutes notice only to realize the next day we had picked up the dog at the wrong time. She never called us out or made us feel embarrassed. We are so fortunate she is offering so much of her family, time, and compassionate care on Rover. Can't wait to have her take care of Keefer again!”
