“Very responsive and friendly, loved receiving updates, pictures, and videos. First time boarding our puppy and Jonathan made it all very easy and comfortable knowing our pup was in good hands.”
“Bydette and her family took such great care of our dog. They gave her the same love and attention that we would and were happy to keep her on a similar schedule so it was an easy transition home. We plan to have Bydette watch our dog again soon.”
“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.”
“Accommodated with short notice. Encouraged a meet and greet, even came to us due to our schedule. Immediately felt at ease leaving Fletcher for the day. He looked happy in the photos sent.”
“Jenn was the best! This was our first time leaving our Tyson with a sitter. She took great care of him and sent us tons of pictures throughout his stay to reassure us that he was fine and having fun. We can’t thank you enough for taking such great care of Tyson. We definitely will being using Jenn whenever we need a sitter for Tyson….”

“Kathleen and Diego did a phenomenal job with Busta! It was my first time using a boarder or the app Rover.com. I felt comfortable with the home and spacious yard. Busta is an indoors type of dog but has a lot of energy and their 2 dogs matched Busta perfectly! He enjoyed it so much he didn’t want to leave. I would definitely use their services again. The couple is friendly and accommodating and made me feel safe leaving him in their care.”
“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.”
“This was our second time booking with Jillian and she was wonderful yet again! She is communicative and most importantly our dog came back well taken care of and happy 😊”
About: I’ve been around dogs all shapes and sizes and ages ever since remember myself. I am a pet mom to a rescue cat and a beautiful dog I have listed my available days. I’m mostly home and kids love pets, all of us are very house broken and mellow. My dog is super friendly with everybody I have a fenced in decent size yard, and a cat and a dog to keep company. Pets are not allowed in the yard unsupervised though
“Bobbi was absolutely amazing! Our dog has never stayed with a stranger before, so I was very apprehensive going into this. We have a German shepherd/lab mix so a bigger dog to handle. To my surprise we had the best experience right from the beginning. As Bobbi opened the door to greet us, and just hearing her voice Bodhi (our dog) ran right up to her and starting licking her hand and went right inside her home. He could tell right away that her energy was so kind and pure. From that moment on my mind was at peace. Bobbi sent cute pictures of Bodhi throughout his stay and he always looked so happy with a big smile. I’m truly greatly for people like Bobbi who genuinely love dogs and want to give them a great experience. My husband and I have found our dog sitter 🙌🏻 Thank you so much for the peace of mind Bobbi. We truly appreciate you!”
“Karina was absolute amazing with our senior dog. She took such good care of her and sent us pictures with updates! We would highly recommend her to anyone who wants a loving place for their dog to stay!”
“Kamini, her family, and Pia are fantastic. Our dog stayed overnight and I received frequent updates (the right amount), lots of pictures, and great communication!! Even with this being the first time he stayed with them, I was comfortable and confident he was being treated as their own. He got along great with Pia, and we would definitely use Kamini again in the future. Highly recommend. 5 stars!”
“Jaclynn was great! I have a small dog (8 pounds). So I was pretty worried about leaving her. Jaclynn sent me updates. I can tell she really loves what she does. The back yard is great for dogs to run all day. I will definitely be using her again in the future.”
“Great experience with Roobensky! He was VERY patient with my dog, who can be a very testy, grouchy old lady lol .. Roobensky is also very responsive and always kept me updated... 100% recommend”
“Dawn took fantastic care of our Maltipoo, Cooper. She provided a safe, nurturing environment for him which was most important to us. She kept us in the loop throughout Cooper's visit by sending pictures and little notes informing us as to how the days were going. We will absolutely call her again the next time we need someone to look after Cooper!”
“Chelsea was great with our 8 month old pup! He played well with her dog and she kept us updating with pictures throughout the night. Highly recommended Chelsea for anyone looking to dog sitting services.”
Dover pet parents share their Rover experiences
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!
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!
Raj and Ken were very caring and thoughtful. They kept me informed about how my cat was adjusting to new surroundings, and what she was doing. I’m so pleased with Raj and Ken and will definitely contact them the next time I plan on going away, as well as recommend them. My cat was very well taken care of, and I totally trust and will rely on them again, even though it might not be until next summer!
