“Absolutely wonderful from start to finish! Communication was excellent throughout the entire process. I had a few specific instructions for my pup’s stay, and not only were they followed perfectly—they even offered helpful suggestions and kept me updated with pictures and videos the whole time. The level of care and attention my dog received was outstanding, and I could tell he felt right at home the moment we arrived. There’s a warm, calming energy in this home that you can feel immediately and clearly, my pup felt it too. I’m beyond grateful and will definitely be booking again whenever I’m out of town. Thank you so much! Can’t wait to see you all again soon!”

“Alex took very great care of our dog while my partner and I have to both be away for a week. My dog has rarely been with sitters and is very nervous around new people. Alex has been great at accommodating all of my dog’s needs, and have a great environment to make my dog feels as comfortable as she can. Alex is very prompt with communication, and provided daily picture/video and detailed updates of my dog. Alex has a ton of experience with dogs so I would definitely leave my dog in her care again.”

“Chawntea is amazing! Bear was well taken care of and she sent many pictures and videos of him so I could see how much fun he was having. Definitely recommend!”

“Erika was so wonderful with Oliver! It was so nice to get pictures while we were on vacation! He had a blast and has so much fun with her! We will definitely book with Erika again! We thank you!”

“We left the country and left our German Shepard our love , our precious Lexi with Chad . And while we traveled we felt she was safe,cozy,happy and comfortable even though she missed us . Thank you Chad .”

“Kelly took wonderful care of my two senior dogs. They can home happy and relaxed and showed no signs of stress. I was able to enjoy my vacation worry free because Kelly provided lots of photos, videos, and updates and I could see his happy my pups were. I am so grateful to have found Kelly and am looking forward to being able to enjoy weekends away again.”
“I really trust Benny to look over and work with my pup (Lucky). He made Lucky's stay very welcoming and comfortable. I definitely want to keep in touch with Benny to work with my pup and look over him.”

“Isaac and Jordan did a great job watching our boy! They were very communicative and were there to answer any questions. They also sent photos which was much appreciated. He slept the whole next day after we picked him up which is always a sign that he had a good time!”

About: I am a veterinary technician with 16 years of experience providing skilled, compassionate care for pets of all ages. I specialize in senior and medically inclined pets, in-home boarding, medication administration, and creating a calm, safe, nurturing environment where pets feel comfortable and secure. I work Tuesday through Friday from 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM. Pets are never left unattended for long periods, and if a pet needs to accompany me to work for continued care or supervision, I can safely accommodate this. Evenings, overnights, weekends, and Mondays are fully dedicated to pet care, boarding, medication administration, and attentive companionship I provide a safe, structured, and nurturing environment in my apartment with a large, secure outdoor courtyard for supervised exercise and enrichment. The building has elevators and multiple exit points, allowing for safe, controlled movement during potty breaks, walks, and emergencies. Pets are closely monitored at all times to ensure comfort, security, and well-being.
“Matthew and VJ were so good with Lily. They treated her like one of their own dogs, giving her treats and lots of cuddles. Lily also really enjoyed playing with their dogs. I can tell Lily likes them, and I'll definitely have them take care of her in the future.”

“I had an excellent experience with this dog sitter caring for my elderly dog. They ensured that all of my dog’s needs were met — from medication management to gentle exercise and plenty of love. Their regular updates gave me peace of mind. I highly recommend their services to anyone looking for high-quality, caring support for their senior pet.”

“Suzanne did a great job with our dogs. It seems like she was able to spend a lot of time with them, provided frequent access to her beautiful yard, and took good overall care of them. It was great to get a picture or two of them each day -- it's a small thing that makes a big difference if you tend to miss your dogs while on vacation. Her prices are magnitudes lower than what we would have paid to board them somewhere like Citizen Canine or Wag Hotel. I'm really glad that Rover exists and that we found Suzanne.”

“Sharon was wonderful. She was very understanding of my dogs separation anxiety and really went out of her way to make sure he was able to settle. Sent lots of photos and updates!”

“Rachel was very patient and attentive with my senior dog who has separation anxiety and some medical needs. She was communicative and easy to work with. My dog did really well staying with her and I would definitely use her services again!”

“Melina was our first Rover experience and she made the process so welcoming. We'd never left our dog overnight with someone he didn't know – he's anxious, reactive and has separation anxiety, so it was important to us that we worked with with someone who understands and is patient with him. Melina was all of that and more! Within hours she had him snuggling up to her, and by the evening he was sleeping curled up next to her head. We got regular updates throughout the stay (including pictures) and felt so at-ease knowing he was well cared for. We would absolutely recommend Melina as a Rover, and especially for anyone with a special needs dog or a shy pup. She was amazing!”

“Booked last minute, Mrs Ayanna for the rescue! Thank you so much Ayanna! She took care of our puppy Tux even before the drop off. Ayanna is a great host very nice and attentive to our dog needs she even took our pup without being all the way potty trained at 5 months. Daily updates with pictures and even gave our pup a bath and blow dry. Definitely booking again with Ayanna hopefully not last minute next time. SUPER A++ HOST!”

“Baxter had a great first stay with Kristen and Ryan! He took advantage of various comfy lounging spots in their home as well as sunbathing in their backyard. Baxter was in great shape when I returned. Kristin and Ryan are very friendly and kind, and their communications were clear throughout. I received updates with pictures at least once a day, as requested. I greatly appreciated their flexibility to extend Baxter's stay a bit and coordinate a different pickup arrangement when my trip plans changed. I would certainly book with them again!”

Coliseum dog parents share their Rover experiences
Susan took wonderful care of our dog Mikasa. As a rescue, Mikasa needs time, patience, and understanding to get comfortable with new people, and Susan handled this beautifully. She carefully followed all the instructions we provided and approached Mikasa with so much patience and determination that, by the end of the stay, they had truly become best friends. While we were abroad, Susan kept us updated every single day with photos and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing Mikasa was in such good hands. She also made sure Mikasa received her medication and paid close attention to her needs. What meant the most to us was how much effort Susan put into building trust with Mikasa respecting her boundaries, letting her set the pace, and helping her gradually gain confidence. Seeing Mikasa relax, play, and bond with her was incredibly reassuring. We're very grateful for the care, dedication, and love Susan showed Mikasa. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful and attentive sitter.
Angela took great care of Archie, he played with Maple, went on walks, and rested and ate well while in her care. She even noticed he had a hot spot and was licking and put a donut on him so he could sleep well. Archie was happy and nice and calm when he got home meaning he played very well. Thank you Angela!!

Our pup was there for just one day, but I could tell she was looking forward to going there based on how fast her tail was wagging when we got out of the car. A few weeks earlier we had a meet & great to see if this would be a good match. Clearly it was based on the tail reaction..
