“Julie is amazing! From start to finish, she was quick to respond, provided many updates, photos and videos, and was so friendly, kind and professional. She and her family had a ton of patience for my boston terrier Lily, who is obsessed with playing tug of war and fetch. I never once worried about Lily. Julie was also very accommodating for my last minute request for a sitter, and I really appreciated that!! Don't hesitate to book her services! I definitely will again!”
About: I have been taking care of dogs for neighbors and family friends for 10 years. I love taking dogs for walks and even to the dog beach if possible. I have a 10 year old beagle/bulldog mix and also a 7 year old miniature terrier. I have done everything for dogs from, changing doggy diapers, cleaning any house accidents, giving them medication, laying with them if they can't fall asleep, running with them and even giving them a bath. I give lots of love and attention to any dog that I meet. Any dog that is put into my hands will have the greatest time and will be taken care of. I am very easygoing and will do anything to make sure your dog is safe. If scheduling for the weekend, I am available anytime of the day as long as given a heads up. Comfortable staying as long as necessary to accommodate your pet and make them feel safe and loved. If having the privilege to stay at a customers home or having the pet stay ay my own home, they will be taken care of the way you would take care of them. Want them to feel like nothing has changed and they are with someone that cares for them.

Pet care is part of my daily routine—I enjoy morning walks, play time, feeding, and cuddles. I’m attentive, reliable, and flexible to each pet’s needs.

About: I’ve always wanted a bigger pack. Caring for your dog like family gives them a loving home away from home while fulfilling my lifelong passion for dogs. I work from home during the week so I have the flexibility to give your fur baby play and bathroom breaks as their needs dictate. I have a spacious backyard equipped with 20ft. tie outs for supervised fun in the sun. Two to theee walks a day in the Avondale neighborhood as weather permits.
“Aspen was simply outstanding. She's experienced, professional and easy to work with. She offered us the peace of mind of knowing our senior hound dog was in good hands during our time away. We strongly recommend her services and will seek to use her again in the future.”
“Highly recommend Derek! He took such good care of my dog Lola while we were away for 10 nights!! He sent daily photos and videos of her, which assured us that she was having a great vacation as well. This is the second time Derek has watched Lola for me. His home is a dog's dream as it is set in the woods and very isolated from any traffic. He is definitely a dog lover and cares for his visiting dogs just like his own!”
“Jennifer and Wayne were actual saints. We left our German shepherd with them for a long weekend and she was having a really hard time with separation anxiety. Jennifer and Wayne were the most kind, understanding, nurturing people and put SO much time and effort into caring for our girl. I genuinely cannot recommend them enough.”
About: I've taken care of animals since I was a kid and I love watching all animals. I groom, walk, train and reward them. I can handle stressful situations with many types of animals. Im currently working part time so there’s worry about my schedule I work around it easily. When scheduling I take into account my own animals as well and don’t take on more than I can handle. I take my 2 dogs for walks everyday they get baths when dirty and are very well trained. I handle fights and defiance camly and try to correct them without confusing them more or intensify the situation. I work with scared and timid cats and high energy cats. I love working with exotics and that’s my passion.
“I had Ron watch my 2 small dogs. My one dog is very scared and doesn’t like to go for walks. He has a fenced in backyard that was perfect for my dogs. He was also very calm with my dogs which helped my scared dog feel comfortable. He is flexible with times and communicates timely. He had a big dog bed and some toys and treats in his home.”
“Great couple to watch our pup. We wanted someone with a fenced in yard and other dogs to help socialize and tire our pup out and that’s exactly what we got. Our girl was happy to come back after the initial meet and greet and happy to book with them in the future.”
“Lorie took great care of our senior dog who has lots of medical needs. She is warm and compassionate and clearly loves all of the doggies as her own. She sent us regular updates and pictures while we were away. We felt like our dog was in better care with Lorie than when we have boarded him at the vet - and he was definitely more comfortable with a home environment. Thank you, Lorie!”
“Shannon took really good care of my service dog Ruby while I was away. She was giving me updates everyday and sending me photos of Ruby. Shannon is my go to whenever I need a dog sitter. Thank you so much!”
“Abby was amazing! We had car issues out of town and she completely worked with us even with us not getting in until 1am. Luna enjoyed her time with Abby. We will definitely use her again!”
“Leslie is amazing. She takes great care of our fur babies and always does a little extra that helps us know things will be fine while we are gone (water plants, bring in mail, etc).”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Columbia Station
This was our first time leaving Kylo with someone other than family. We couldn't have found a better person to care for him! David treated Kylo like his own and his communication is outstanding. We received 30 photos during the few days we were gone, which really helped put our minds at ease. Kylo hadn't had prior experience with other dogs off leash and he absolutely loved David's goldendoodle, Cocoa. David also carefully picks who he will watch and makes sure that the dogs have the same temperament. That is important to us, since our dog is small and somewhat timid. Overall, we had a great first experience and hope we are lucky enough to book David every time! Kylo agrees!

Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
