“Eli took care of our rambunctious Nala girl for 5 days while in the Dominican Republic. We never had to worry about her and got updates of her walks. We can't wait for our next trips in the future knowing we have an expert caring for her!”
“Michelle has taken our dog Henry in twice now and we have zero complaints. Her and her family are dog lovers by nature and provide an ideal environment for dog sitting. Michelle sends routine and consistent updates via pictures and text messages which has gone a long way in putting our minds at ease. My wife and I highly recommend Michelle and her family.”
“Shuling did a great job with Penny! Excellent level of communication (not too much not too little) throughout the whole experience, lots of pictures, and Penny ate her food which shows an incredible amount of comfort and trust she has built with Shuling. Definitely recommend Shuling and I will be coming back to her again! “Shuling’s Rover experience was the best Rover experience we’ve ever had. She really did go above and beyond, fed her right before pickup and I was surprised Penny ate dinner! This goes to show her level of care for animals. 10/10”
“Megan was wonderful - I would say she went above and beyond. My dog Carter and I had not been apart for a full day or even an overnight since I adopted him in January and I was very worried about being apart from him for nearly a week. Megan clearly made Carter feel at home, listened to the things I told her would help maintain Carter's routine, figured out how to adjust when Carter made clear he wasn't staying in his routine when he out of his routine. They clearly had great affection for one another and Megan sent me many photos and videos showing me that Carter was doing well. It was a great experience and I would want to hire Megan again for a similar occasion.”
“I am so pleased with Elizabeth as the pet sitter for my precious baby. She is very knowledgeable about dogs and had an instant attraction to my dog. She did a great job, keeping me informed with text messages and pictures Remy had such a great time and can’t wait to go back!”
“Mady was absolutely wonderful!!!! My furbaby had such a great time playing with his new friend, Bandit. I was admittedly a bit nervous because this was Balee's first time engaging with another puppy. He clearly had an awesome time as evidenced by the pics that Mady sent which captured the biggest smile. Every photo warmed my heart. Thanks so much for such an incredible experience today. We sincerely appreciate you.”
“Andy boarded our two boys for a night and was very responsive, keeping us updated with pictures, and playing with them. Our dogs got along great with his dog Luna. When our dogs had behavioral problems Andy was honest and understanding about it. I trusted him completely to take good care of them. They seemed relaxed and happy to have been there.”
“The sign of a good visit by your dog is when he falls asleep on the car ride home. Ann and her family could not have been more welcoming of my dog and more tolerant of his initial uneasiness around new people. From all of the photos I was sent, I could see him having so much fun with their dog and also napping alongside -- and at times on -- their family.”
“Candice was so sweet with our girl! Kept in touch and sent pictures every day. She even accommodated her need to sleep near people😂. Our flight was delayed and she took the stress out of the whole thing. Can’t recommend enough!”
“Diana was amazing! Prior to his stay, she did a meet and greet with my little guy. Immediately, I could tell she was very caring and knowledgeable about the care and needs of older dogs. I walked away from that first meeting feeling very comfortable leaving my dog in her care. She provided daily updates on him which put me at ease even more and when my return was delayed she was able to keep him an extra day. As I said, she is an amazing sitter. If you are looking for someone that will love your dog like their own, then she is the one. I will definitely book her again when I need a pet sitter.”
“Trey and Melissa are a gift to not just me and my family but my sweet dog. They took amazing loving care of my dog, sent regular updates and treated Mabel like one of their own. Top notch!!! FIVE STAR!!”
“Ashley was an absolute lifesaver! She came to our rescue at the last minute, and took excellent care of my Rebel. Ashley sent pictures everyday, and Rebel came home a happy boy.”
“Everything went well with Gingerbread's first visit with Jenna. Jenna sent us daily updates and answered text messages quickly. She was punctual and kind and even let us visit before our actual booking so Gingerbread, me, and the kiddo would have an idea of where she would be spending her time.”
“Jessica was great with our Dog Mia! She sent photos everyday to let us know how she was doing and was very responsive! We will definitely rebook again with her in the future!”
“Alie is absolutely amazing! She's sweet and great with dogs! She sends updates and cute photos and enjoys working with animals. I am definitely going to have Alie take care of my dog on my next trip! Thanks again Alie!”
“Shelby was really great - she was flexible as my plans changed a bit and took Elmer to the park multiple times throughout his stay with her. He wasn’t anxious at all when I picked him up - always a sign he had a great weekend. Will definitely book with Shelby again!”
About: I work from home full time on a flexible schedule, so I am able to engage with the pups throughout the day. I’ve also grown up with dogs throughout my life - poodles, Dobermans, hounds, and german shepherds. I now have a Staffordshire Terrier who is 8 years old. Large breeds do not scare me and I understand how to be gently dominant. I prefer treat-based training, but understand their can be other needs on occasion. However, I am firmly against shock collars and will not use them. The longest that I have boarded another dog was for six weeks - a Golden Retriever. I regularly board my Mom’s two dogs who are German Shepherds and my brother’s who is a pit mix. I genuinely enjoy both puppies and dogs and gain energy from them. I work from home, so it is genuinely easy. I also have a large fenced in yard with a large deck, plants, and a coi pond which is nice for dogs. I have a large fenced in yard and do prefer to crate larger animals at night. I also have a large guest bedroom for animals to relax in with their beds.

Donovans Pier dog parents share their Rover experiences
Kathy was able to take care of our Shitzu mix, Cody, for a two night stay on short notice. She made sure to follow his normal routine, along with taking him on fun outings. Cody was clearly well cared for and happy. We will definitely use Kathy's excellent services again.
Maureen was amazing - she and her family were so warm and welcoming to my pup, and she was extremely well taken care of. I got regular updates and pictures so I felt reassured that my pup was doing well, and she was very flexible with both drop-off and pick-up. I will definitely book her again for future stays!
Michaela went absolutely above and beyond in taking care of our Prince. She provided lots of updates and pictures. I had no doubts he was receiving the best care all weekend. Bonus points because she has two fur friends for Prince to play with!! Prince came back super happy
Sally and her family took the absolute best care of our Marley. He only stayed for a day but I could tell he didn't want to leave. Sally was very sweet and really accommodating. Marley enjoyed several walks and cuddle times on the couch. We look forward to booking with Sally again!
