“We just loved Rebecca and her family. Max just fit in wonderfully. She sent us pictures every day to let us know he was doing great. I think he lost weight from walking him every day. They have a Great Dane and really got along great. We will use her again in the future.”

“Alexis was wonderful! She took great care of Becker and he enjoyed playing with her pup Blue. She shared pictures and both dogs and they were having a great time. Definitely will book with Alexis aagain!”

“Keely took great care of my dog. She sent me pictures and updates throughout my vacation which kept me at ease since this was my first time boarding. Looking forward to working with her in the future!”

“Phoebe took great care of my pups. This was Bea's first time away from home post adoption, and she did really well. Phoebe sent me updates and photos every day, and responded really quickly to any message I sent. I will leave my dogs with Phoebe again soon, and already suggested her to a few friends.”

“Our little guy, Chase, stayed with Rachel for a week. Chase was so well taken care of & when we went to get him, I think he thought he’d been adopted by Rachel! He loved it at her house! We will definitely be using Rachel again to dog sit Chase. She is a dog lover & we have every confidence in using her to care for Chase again. Thank you Rachel.”

“Alina was SO great with our Henry. Her kids were inquisitive, adorable and kept Henry entertained all weekend long. Alina sent photos, videos and updates on how he was doing which kept my mind at ease. Would 100% recommend Alina. I can tell Henry loved being with them. They have a large backyard which is fenced in- which was ideal. We are so glad we found her and her family.”

“Stephanie was amazing with my pup. She went out of her way to make sure he was comfortable. Pictures were sent to reassure me he was doing great. Will definitely hire her again!”

“Alli was a big help with Zoey! She made her feel right at home with her time, care and attention :) We had great communication and she was very flexible when we made a few changes due to our travel plans.”

“Chip was amazing on such short notice! He accommodated us at the very last minute when we had some dog sitter plans fall through and I’d say he’s nothing shy of an amazing sitter! After 10 days, our pup came back extremely happy! He is very thorough, attentive, and communicated well. I’ll definitely be booking Chip from now on for all of our dog sitting needs!”

“My family had a critical medical emergency two days before a long-awaited college reunion, so no one could watch my beloved 12-year old Shih Tzu, Brady, at the last moment. I was desperate to find a sitter for my little dog and decided to try Rover.com, and Katy said she was available. Best decision I have made in years. Katy was loving and so conscientious that I never worried for the entire four days. Her house was lovely, and she cared for Brady like her own much-loved family pet. I cannot express the joy and relief this incredibly kind woman gave me during our trip to West Point. I highly recommend Rover.com and Katy.”

“My two doodles Yogi and Bear have the best time when they are at Beth’s house! When I turn onto her street, they get so excited. They actually know that we’re going to her house. They can’t wait to get out of the car when we get there to go play with the other dogs. They look so happy in all the pictures that she sends to me. I highly recommend Beth as a pet sitter. She does a great job!”

About: I have taken care of all types of animals since a very young age. We one two turtles one bearded dragon and a puppy. We love animals in our home. They are what make a home complete. I am a stay home mom that has all the time to care for pets I really enjoy the company. I have a very open schedule. I have a fenced yard and many years of experience of animal care. I am responsible and caring and love to help out in times of need. I understand how scary it is to entrust your family with a stranger.
About: I have had a life time of experience of have pets in my life and care for them as a kid and into an adult. I love the fur babies, we currently have two boxers and a cat. I am able to do dog walks, house sitting, and drop ins at times as needed. Let me know if there are any special needs, meds, diet /directions i needed to follow in caring for your pet. I have given oral and injection meds to my own pets and is comfortable doing so. If there is a special routine that you have with your fur baby and would like to keep going while in my care feel free to make me aware of it to make the stay comfortable for them also. Also any schedule you have are welcome too. I generally go by what instruction that are giving by each owner. I have a large yard. It is current not fence in. I do have running cord for my pets so they can move freely round the yard with supervision. I also live near a dog park so daily walks are available. My dogs love car ride too, so those are also include in their stay if they are one who love to ride.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for the majority of my life. My current furry companion is a 5 year old Golden Retriever and two cats. I have cared for family pets and take in friends animals for short and long term. I’m currently on summer break from working in the schools, so I am very flexible schedule-wise. I live in the country and have lots of space to walk pets and enjoy the outdoors. My pets are sociable and love other people and animals. We can enjoy the outdoors, snuggle up inside, and just enjoy furry family members. Looking forward to quality time and more pets to love.
“Fynn had a great stay with Megan. She was very warm and friendly. Her whole family spent time playing with him and walking him. She took him to a doggy festival and agility course and even had a little birthday celebration for him with a sombrero and pup cup, so cute. I appreciate all the special attention he received. I would highly recommend Megan to anyone who wants their pup to enjoy their time away too!”

“Benjamin and Elizabeth kept me updated with pictures and some details. My pup is older (adult mid-sized, 10), has seizures, and wasn’t feeling well - they handled it with great care. They picked up and dropped her off, making the transition for my pup easier. I’d definitely recommend them.”
