“Kerri R was great with my dog Peppa. She treated her as her own and welcomed her into her home. Peppa had an excellent time. I will definitely be using Kerri R again. I suggest you do the same! 😊🐶”
“Chris and Cass were awesome sitters! They are really kind, cool people who love dogs. My Sammy had a blast staying at their place and I know he loved it. I actually felt bad taking him back home because he was having so much fun :) My pup Sammy is a pretty nervous and anxious dude around strangers, but not Chris and Cass. He loved them both and I’m so happy to have met them.”

“Our Harlo stayed with Dawn for six days. Dawn was kind and flexible. I appreciated Dawn holding our dates in her calendar prior to arranging online payment. Dawn sent us daily photos of our boy and he was just fine when we picked him up. Would definitely book with Dawn again!”
“We love Irma & Daniel! This was our second time using their boarding services for our dog, Sakari, and it is obvious she had a fabulous time and loves them too! We received frequent updates and pictures that let us know Sakari was getting tons of attention, playtime, walks, and love! She can be very weary of newer people, but she warmed right up to them. We will definitely be using their service again in the future!”
“I can’t thank you enough for helping me last minute watching Chelsea last week.

About: I started dog sitting when I was a young teenager, but I didn’t have my own dog until 2019. Since then I’ve been able to watch friends and family members dogs. I used Rover services for my own dog and realized it would be fun to care for others’ pets and provide play dates for my dog at the same time. I work from home Monday-Friday and we’re typically home on weekends. My dog is friendly and happy to play with others or relax all day. We have a fenced in yard and are very focused on safety. We have plenty of sidewalks to take walks on. I allow dogs on furniture and have plenty of dog beds and toys.
“I had an amazing experience with Kadi! She was incredibly friendly, reliable, and showed so much love to my dog. Her communication was great and she sent regular photo updates which we loved. My dog came home happy and ready for a nap. I would refer her to anyone!”
“Oh, my goodness! Pattie is the best dog sitter ever! My Mini Labradoodle usually has high separation anxiety, and is very skittish around strangers, but he knew right away that he had friends in Pattie and her little Yorkie! He warmed right up, and felt right at home. Pattie sent many pictures and updates, and even sent daily letters from Buddy to Mom & Dad! I like that Pattie stays outside with the dogs in her fenced yard when they need to go outside. She also carefully followed each of my instructions that were written out for her, and messaged me when she had questions. Buddy felt comfortable on her lap as well as the dog bed that were available. I don’t think he missed us much at all. We will be sure to ask for Pattie the next time we have to be out of town!”

Lisah was wonderful with our dog! She was very responsive and sent us pictures while we were away. He looked like he was the one on vacation, playing and cuddling on the couch! We felt completely at ease knowing he was in good hands. We’d definitely book with Lisah again!
Andy was great with our Remy! We were in a pinch because of a late cancellation (family emergency) by a different sitter, and Andy was super accommodating and understanding. Andy knew how to easy Remy into her new environment. We received great communication and pictures throughout her stay. We highly recommend and will definitely use Andy again!
Couldn’t recommend Megan more! Excellent and easy service. Took great care of my pug and provided daily updates. She naturally cares about your pet and ensures they have a great time on their vacation from home. This was my first experience with Rover and I was blown again. Thanks again!
We had a wonderful experience with Tanios! This was Sparky and Milo’s first time staying with him, and they stayed for 5 nights. Milo has a little separation anxiety when we leave him, especially when staying with someone new, so on the first day he was a bit unsettled and was whining/whistling for us. He’s also a picky eater and wasn’t very interested in eating at first. To top it off, there was a thunderstorm and even a tornado warning during their stay, which made him a little more uneasy. Tanios was incredibly patient, caring, and understanding with Milo. He made an extra effort to help him feel comfortable and even gave him chicken so he would eat. By the second day, Milo had settled in beautifully and was feeling completely comfortable. Tanios was wonderful with both Milo and Sparky and consistently sent us updates, which was very reassuring, especially since this was their first stay with him. Both pups came home super happy and well cared for! We truly appreciate the care and attention Tanios gave them and would definitely trust him with Sparky and Milo again. Highly recommend!
They were recommended to us by a previous guest. We did an overnight stay to test run a longer trip in the future. She was very communicative, receptive, and sent pictures and pupdates without me asking. Definitely recommened if you are looking for a comfortable stay for your pet!
Demi was absolutely amazing! She was very professional, caring, and went above and beyond while watching my pet. She kept me updated throughout the stay with pictures and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear my pet was surrounded by a loving family who helped provide plenty of care and attention. I could tell my pet was treated like family, and I truly appreciated the love and dedication. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!
Megan was an amazing dog sitter. She checked in with me regularly and kept me updated throughout my trip. I truly appreciated that her top priority was making sure my dog was comfortable, which gave me peace of mind during my vacation. Knowing that Bacon was well cared for and comfortable allowed me to fully enjoy my time away. I will definitely book with her again for my next trip and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter.
Everything was amazing! Joanne is so amazing with everything and I know that my fur baby is in the best hands whenever she is watching him. The updates with pics and videos is so great to get when away and lets me know with certainty that our pup is doing well and having a good time. Thank you again for an amazing stay!
