“Danieris and Julian are a wonderful and kind couple. They welcomed my dog and communicated regularly about his stay and questions. I would absolutely use them again.”

“During time with family and mourning we are thankful that Shelisha was able to watch our pup. I normally am very communicative with sitters while he is under their watch but was unable to due to many reasons. Thank you for making sure our pup was cared for and keeping him safe, which is all we could ask for. Thank you for your help!”

“Kyli was amazing the whole time we were away. She looked after our 2 dogs and sent us updates everyday and videos of them playing with her dogs. They looked like they had an amazing time which made us happy. I 100% recommend Kyli for your animals. :)”

“Angelica was wonderful. She took exceptional care of my pet. I felt so comfortable leaving Punkin with her. She treated her like she was part of her family!! Thank you so much. I will definitely trust you with my pet for any future vacations.”

“I have used Angie's services for the third time in a row and she is a wonderful person and I couldn't have found anyone better in my area to take care of the love of my life Mimi. Thanks Angie”

“Thank you so much for watching our boys, George and Cooper, again! It’s great to find someone who loves our boys as much as we do! Thank you again, and see you next year!!”

About: As an experienced and trustworthy dog caregiver, I provide attentive, reliable care tailored to each dog’s unique needs. With a strong background in dog nutrition and firsthand experience caring for a special-needs pup of my own, I understand the importance of patience, compassion, and individualized attention. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or specialized care, I treat every dog as if they were my own. I’m currently working at home so I’ll have plenty of time to care for your pup! I will make sure to stick to your pups routine. In my home, pets are welcomed into a safe, loving environment where they’re treated like family. I will send daily pictures and updates. I follow their usual routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, and any special instructions. I have 2 friendly pups that your pup can play with!
“This was our first time using James’s for our fur babies and both Winston and Bella just fell into a routine and made themselves right at home! He did a great job entertaining both of our dogs at the same time and loving them equally. They have different foods, and he was able to take care of each of them as they needed to be taken care of. Also, he mentioned that he would keep in touch and send pictures. He absolutely did a great job letting us know how our babies were doing even within a couple hours of dropping them off, and letting us see that they were getting the love and attention they needed. I highly recommend him, and we will use him again in the future!”

“Matt and Nicole are the ideal sitters you could ever dream of! I wanted to find a boarder with whom I felt my golden doodle had a safe, fenced-in, clean, and loving environment while we’re out of town. They went above and beyond! These are genuine people who truly love animals and will treat your pet as their own with all the love, respect, and attention you’d want for your furbaby. After staying about 8 overnights with them now, my dog runs to them both as if they’re extended family. I couldn’t feel more comforted knowing my puppy-girl is well cared for and loved while I’m not able to be there. If you’re looking for a sitter, these are your people! Look no further - they’re also wonderful at sending lots of great updates and photos. You will NOT regret booking with them! We will also plan to rebook with them in the future! 🐾💕”

“Angela and Jorge were so good with our poodle Bailey! They made us feel comfortable in their home and Bailey to feel welcome. The communication was superb and we felt she was well cared-for and happy. We will definitely use them again.”

“I am torn between telling you how fabulous Christian is and lying and telling you he is terrible…so he doesn’t get booked up!😂 Seriously, our two dogs had a great stay with Christian, he truly loves animals. He’s reliable, flexible, trustworthy and communicated wonderfully. We feel blessed that we found him, will definitely use him again.”

“I’m am very happy leaving my Gus with Annette he loves and enjoys her company and doggie friends. She is always very nice to send me updates and pictures of Gus playing with friends. He was certainly very happy staying with Annette”

“They were amazing to my kitty Buggy, super understanding of all my crazy asks and nervous jitters leaving my friend behind. They sent update pictures and even went to the store to pick up more food and treats because I had miscalculated how much she would need. I would definitely use them again.”

“Love love love Karla! This was the first time using this app and trusting our 3 fur babies to a new person. Karla is very sweet and caring person and our dogs loved her. We were away for a week and during this time we stayed in contact to check on the pups , she sent us pictures almost daily with updates. Our dogs love her and so do we. Will be staying our dogs with her again! Thank you ❤️”

“Megan went above and beyond for my pups. This was the first time that I’ve boarded my dogs, so I was extremely hesitant and toured a few major pet hotels in the area. When I saw Megan’s profile on Rover, I knew instantly it was the right choice. She sent me several updates throughout each day and provided many pictures and videos, which I really appreciated. I wanted to pick them up at an extremely late time, and she accommodated that as well. She sent my pups home smelling fresh with a new bandana and bow, plus some homemade treats. I was so impressed by her care and love for my babies. She is very attentive and answered all of my messages within minutes. When dropping them off, she double checked that they weren’t on any medication in case she needed to give them some. I would trust her any day and night and will plan on using her in the future ❤️”

We left our dog with Joanne for close to two weeks and Joanne went above and beyond for our girl. Shed send us videos every day and made sure to ask us questions about her to make sure our dog was comfortable during her stay. Shed send even went and mulched an area of her backyard because she noticed our dog did not like the grass at certain times, and gave our girl an oatmeal bath to help with her itching. Will absolutely book with Joanne in the future.

Kyli was amazing as always. Milo wasn’t feeling well and had an upset stomach while we were away and she made sure to keep him hydrated and keep us updated on how he was doing. Milo was doing much better by the time we picked him up. Kyli took amazing care of him. We will always recommend her and will keep booking for Milo! Thank you Kyli!!

This was our first time using Rover so I was very nervous. We all know our pets are our babies! Our Zoro fell in LOVE with Danieris and Julia instantly and that alone calmed my nerves. They sent updates the whole time and expressed how much they enjoyed him. I would book with them everytime if I have the choice.

Cherisse took wonderful care of my two dogs while I was away for a few days. One of my dogs has separation anxiety, and she went above and beyond to make sure she was comfortable, eating well, and getting the attention she needed. Cherisse sent daily updates with pictures and videos, which gave me great peace of mind while I was on vacation. Her home also has a fully fenced yard, so the dogs could safely roam and play. When my dogs are with Cherisse, I know they are in great hands.

Melissa was a wonderful babysitter for our fur-baby, Chevi💗 She was so thoughtful of our feelings of leaving her with someone we didn’t know before. She sent us several pictures every day of their walks, which is Chevi’s favorite thing to do, along with playing Tug-o -war with her stuffed animals. Chevi had to be on a specific diet for a while and she did great at making sure that this diet was followed. Melissa was a great comfort to us during this time away!!

Maria took great care of Loki! Communication was excellent throughout the stay, and she made sure he was treated with so much kindness and attention. I really appreciated how well she looked after him, Loki was happy and comfortable the whole time. I would definitely book with her again! 🐾💙
