“This was our first time using a Rover and Kelti was absolutely amazing! Our pup Willow had such a good time and was well taken care of. We appreciated all the updates and photos Kelti provided. We would definitely rebook with her again!”

“As always, our dog had a great time with Joe and Tasha. He had some recent medical issues and they dealt with it as if he was their own. Can’t say enough about how great they are for boarding!”

“Katie did such a great job watching Reggie while my husband and I were out of town for a few days! We received plenty of updates and could tell he was well taken care of when we picked him up. Will definitely be using Katie again!”

“Monte did a wonderful job keeping tabs on my pup! He was kind and welcoming with the introductions, as well as his furry companion. Definitely will be contacting Monte again in the future.”


“Karen was GREAT with our golden retriever Max and I would totally work with her again! Our family went were away for a week and wanted to leave Max at a house so he’d have 1:1 care instead of boarding, We hadn’t met Karen previously but from the first minute we talked with her it was obvious she was a dog person and Max would be in great hands! Thanks Karen!!!”
About: I have been pet sitting since I was in high school. I have experience in dog walking, watching pets at my home or theirs, and volunteering at local shelters. I'm currently working full time, so I am available nights and weekends to board your pet. This is to ensure that I can give your pet the attention they deserve! I have a huge fenced in yard and also 5 dogs of my own, so your pet will surely get lots of love and exercise at my home!
“I would undoubtedly recommend Jenny to anyone looking for someone to care for their dog! Her communication was excellent both before and during the stay (she sent daily updates and pictures of Piper!) Piper was so well taken care of! She loved the walks Jenny took her on! I was nervous using Rover for the first time but now know I have someone reliable to care for Piper when we’re away!”

“Taylor was amazing. She even accept my las minute request and even came to pick up and drop my dog Pika home. I’ll definitely will contact her again next time.”

“Dion is a wonderful, responsible caregiver. He is kind and thinks of all safety contingencies. He is the kind of caregiver that one wants to have. And he loves dogs and has a very nice one. Our small pup Susie has fears of thunderstorms and also of being touched in certain ways, and Dion quickly won her over. He even took her on three walks per day. I can’t recommend anyone more highly. If/when we go away on a trip, he will be our go-to person.”

“Kimberely was truly exceptional with my dog, Rooster. She treats every dog she watches as if they are a member of her own family, and it genuinely shows. From her daily updates, it was clear she took the time to understand Roo’s unique personality and little quirks — something that meant so much to me. Rooster can struggle with separation anxiety, and this was our first Rover experience where, when I arrived to pick her up, she happily greeted me and then immediately went back to playing instead of making a beeline for the car to go home. That alone speaks volumes about how safe, comfortable, and loved she felt in Kimberely's care. Her home is also clean, cozy, and perfectly set up for dogs, with a fenced-in backyard that gives them plenty of space to play and relax. I can’t recommend Kimberely highly enough. Knowing that I have such a wonderful, trustworthy sitter makes me genuinely look forward to my next trip — and I know Roo will too.”

“Amazing family who took the best care of our 1.5yo dog! Felt so good about leaving our girl in their hands (and paws!) :) our Luna loved playing with sweet Murphy!”

“William & Haley were amazing! They took great care of Auri and sent great updates and pictures. Auri loved her time exploring the fenced-in back yard. Thank you!”

“Gabrielle was a great pet sitter for our dog! She was very communicative and easy to work with. She sent us pictures and let us know everything was going great! Would definitely recommend her to others!”

“Our dog Bratwurst always has a great time with Amir! Would highly recommend Amir to any other dog owners! Amir is always communicative and thoughtful anytime we book a stay with him.”

“Bradley was amazing with Chinook and Apache! They had a great time during their stay—Bradley kept me updated with plenty of pictures, and the boys looked so happy when I picked them up. Now they’re both passed out asleep at home, which tells me they had a fun and active time! I’ll definitely be booking with Bradley again. Highly recommend!”

“Lauren once again went above and beyond with our girl Bernice. She sent photos of her playing outside with her fellow boarders, cuddling and sleeping in the most beautiful setting. She was a lucky dog this weekend and got to spend Labor Day with Lauren's great care, along with a few others that she got to know and love! We appreciate Lauren's responsiveness and amazing care of our sweet girl. She even came down and helped our stubborn golden get into the car while leaving. Maybe she didn't want to come home 😂”

As puppy parents, we were nervous to leave Maisie, but Lauren eased all our worries. She went above and beyond with updates and adorable photos, so we always felt connected. Maisie loved her doggy friends, and Lauren’s care was top-notch. If you’re leaving a puppy for the first time, Lauren is the perfect sitter!

A+ experience! Raider had a wonderful time, and we loved receiving the daily photos and updates. It was clear he was happy, well cared for, and enjoying himself. Kiki was kind, gentle, and truly caring—exactly what you hope for when leaving your beloved pet with someone else. We were so pleased with the experience that we’ve already booked his next stay. Perfect for our spoiled fur baby! Highly recommend. 🐾💕

Madison and Adam are the best sitters ever! They send plenty of pictures and Minnie got plenty of walks. They were flexible when I had to drop her off and pick her up a little after the original scheduled time due to flights. Minnie came back, so happy and energized. She had a mini vacation herself! I definitely recommend them to anyone.

I needed a place to board my dog for a night while my husband and I went to a wedding. Our dog has been to standard daycare facilities but isn't fond of being left alone so we didn't like the idea of her staying in a kennel. Alison was really accommodating and assured us that our sweet girl would get plenty of attention and play time with her own dogs, which is perfect because our girl loves to make friends. We were afraid that she'd have trouble settling in because she's very attached to us, but we were put at ease when Alison sent a picture of our girl sleeping on a comfy couch. They also made sure she had her allergy meds and food. This is exactly the environment and attention our dog needs to be comfortable being away from us for a bit. Thank you so much for watching her!

This was Mango’s first Rover sitter and as a (possibly overly so) doting dog mom I was a little anxious. Lexi was fantastic, providing daily updates and pictures that really helped put me at ease. Mango, on the other hand, clearly had a great time and enjoyed her vacation thoroughly. I would absolutely book with Lexi again!

Stuart & Tracie were absolutely wonderful with Stanley! He went on lots of walks, they sent great pics of him the entire time and Stanley came home exhausted from his fun stay with them! Thanks so much you guys for taking such great care of our Stanley ; ) We will definitely be booking with them a lot in the future :)

Corey was great to work with! He was responsive to messages, sent pictures and gave updates on how our boy, Arlo was doing during his stay! He accommodated our slightly challenging travel schedule that made drop off later than we anticipated, which was very much appreciated! If we’re in the area we would have our dog stay with him again!
