“Samantha was wonderful with Nellie! She sent updates throughout the day, gave my dog her meds and nellie settled right in! She was also very flexible with scheduling, due to an unexpected winter storm. Will 100% use Sam again to watch Nellie!”
“It’s my first time to use Rover.and I’m glad I found Sebastian-he’s taken exceptional care of Rocky’s first boarding experience. He’s amazing and kind. We’ll definitely book him again. I’m appreciative of him sending me pics and video clips of Rocky every day during his stay. Thanks Sebastian!”
“Stan and Barbara took such great care of our dog for the week. They shared daily updates and pictures which we really enjoyed. We will definitely contact them again when we need a dog sitter. Happy to have found them using Rover!”
“Trista has been incredibly helpful and flexible, she was helpful when I had a last minute need and was very understanding and open. She makes the stays easy and my dog was very happy staying with her.”
About: I'm home fulltime so your dog won’t be alone! i love to go for walks, give belly rubs + keep them entertained and feeling loved! i’ve taken many courses on dog behavior and My pup is actually trained for therapy, service and he’s a Canine good citizen! ( a 6 year old 22 lb Cockapoo who is super sweet and really keeps to himself!) i only board one dog at a time, so your pup will get lots of attention AND also their quiet time! I consider dogs as members of the family, and know they have their own unique personalities + special needs! looking forward to hanging with your pup while you're busy doing Human things! I work from home fulltime so your dog won’t be alone! my schedule is super flexible too and would revolve around your dogs schedule :) i live in a two story house. no fence in my backyard so we go for leashed walks. My dog sleeps with me in my room on his bed. your dog can sleep with us in their bed/crate. your preference
“Mylene was wonderful with our puppy! She sent frequent updates and adorable pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing our little guy was in great hands. We felt completely comfortable and reassured throughout the entire experience. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter, and we’ll definitely be using her again!”
“I highly recommend Chris to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. Chris went above and beyond to ensure Izzy was comfortable and happy, and I will definitely be using his services again.”
“It was such a great comfort to know that my dog was well taken care of while my family and I were away for a week. Bydette and her family were great. This was the first time that my dog had been away from us for more than a day since we first brought her home and we couldn't be happier about the experience. The daily videos showing a happy pup were something we looked forward to each day and put us at ease. We highly recommend this family!”
“Michele is a wonderful sitter! I’ve used her several times to watch my dog, and each experience has been smooth and completely hassle-free. She’s very flexible with drop-off and pick-up times and always willing to work with my schedule. She carefully follows all of my instructions and consistently sends pictures and updates throughout the day without me even having to ask, which gives me great peace of mind. I always feel reassured leaving my dog in her care, and I’ll definitely continue booking with her in the future.”
“Christina was awesome! She took care of Meeko like one of her own and I’m so appreciative of that. She kept me updated throughout his stay and sent us pictures. He will definitely be back to hangout with Bentley and Dixen!”
“Siram and Rekha are a blessings to my family. Caliber my Golden Doddle is my whole world and the minute I met Siram and Rekha we bonded and I feel comfortable I was leaving Caliber in the best care and his 2nd home. Caliber gets along well with Milo. As long as they would have Caliber when I need a second home Siram and Rekha is my only option. Thank you both.”

Mylene was wonderful with our puppy! She sent frequent updates and adorable pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing our little guy was in great hands.

I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter, and we’ll definitely be using her again!
We left our energetic working lab with Lana for a week, and once again, she reminded us why we feel so comfortable leaving him with her. She goes to such efforts to keep him stimulated and tired out by the end of the day but also keeping him rested and safe. She always sends videos and photos, and talks about him in a way that we know he is being snuggled and well cared for. 10/10 would recommend! Thank you!
Sebastian is a wonderful pet sitter and groomer. He takes such great care of our fur babies! His love of all dogs is obvious and since he appreciates being a dog dad, he knows leaving your dog behind is hard so he thoughtfully sends daily photos and comments to us while we are away. Thank you Sebastian we’ll see you again!
Rocky has stayed with Mikayla before and so we were happy she was available over the holidays. She sent us regular updates, pictures and videos and when Rocky fell sick, kept us informed and took him to our vet so that he was taken care of- I cannot express how appreciative we are - she took care of him as if he were her own.
Christina has taken care of our dogs several times now and always does a great job. Our dogs are always excited to arrive at her house. She sends lots of photos and gives updates often. She is very responsive to messages. Over the holidays she gives them little gifts and NYE pup cups. Originally, we chose Christina because she has experience taking care of dogs post-op and one of our dogs had a recent ACL surgery. She took great care of him. It was clear she knew what she was doing. She is also very knowledgeable about dogs in general. It’s worth mentioning that once we needed an extra night at the last minute due to a flight cancellation and she was very kind and accommodating. We highly recommend Christina.
David was amazing in taking care of our pup while we were gone. He was very flexible and communicative throughout the process. He was consistently giving updates which was was very calming as this was my first time being away from my pup. Would highly recommend David and will definitely be using his services again!
