“So happy I booked with Kayla to sit my pup while I was on vacation. She kept my mind at ease with all the pictures and the updates. I felt confident she would treat my dog right. I definitely plan on booking with her again in the near future.”
“Jess was very accommodating on a last minute trip I had planned. She was very flexible with my schedule and availability to meet. I was extremely nervous as this was my first time utilizing Rover, as I usually book with PetSmart but I wanted to make sure my senior dog was well taken care of as boarding can be stressful for older dogs. Once we had the meet and greet, my dogs immediately loved Jess. She made sure that their routine stayed as close to the same as at home to ensure their comfort, and sent pictures and updates daily (which I loved). Even when we picked our dogs up, they still wanted to play and love on her so I knew they had a blast. If you’re wary about booking with Jess, this review is for you, she was absolutely awesome.”
“Allesha took very good care of my puppy Spot I got pictures and videos every day. Sometimes Spot can be a handful since she is a puppy. Allesha always puts up with her which is very nice. Spot loves going to stay at her home As soon as Spot sees her she wants to run towards her. I am very thankful to have found Allesha”
“I was nervous because this was the first time I'd left Picasso with someone he didn't know. Ekow was extremely kind and sent updates of a happy dog daily, which made me feel much better. We've found a new sitter and I will definitely be reaching out anytime we need a sitter. Five stars!!”
“We were really happy with Stella's overnighter with Joe and Madeleine! Stella is a rescue dog and has been skittish and nervous about a lot of things. We were a bit worried about how she would respond to being boarded for a night. Joe and Madeleine, along with their friendly dog and cat, put Stella right at ease. We are really grateful and hope to get help from Joe and Madeleine again when we take a vacation. Thank-you (and your wonderful dog & cat) so much!”
“Jessica was amazing! She gave me consistent updates, was very kind and nurturing, and has a very sweet and pleasant demeanor that made me feel confident she would take great care of my baby. I will definitely be booking with her again :)”
“Theresa and Adrian are THE BEST!!! My Mother and I were having a difficult time finding someone to care for our family pet dog Moses, due to people's schedule. We needed someone we could trust to care for Moses while we traveled to a family reunion. I had an excellent experience with Theresa and Adrian caring for my dog. They did an outstanding job ensuring my pet was well taken care of, comfortable, and happy. They were very attentive, responsive, and showed genuine care and affection. My dog seemed relaxed and content, which is the biggest compliment I could give. I highly recommend Theresa and Adrian for anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate caregiver for their furry friend! Thank you so very much! Vito Viviano The Prince 👑🍾⚘️”
“I recently boarded my dog, Marty, with Erika again for the 3rd time, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Erika's genuine love for dogs and her professional approach made me feel completely at ease. Marty came home happy, healthy, and clearly well-cared-for. Highly recommend Erika for her exceptional dog boarding services! we will be back!”
“Rubin seemed to really enjoy his stay! Beverly kept me posted about Rubin throughout the day with pictures and video, and she was very attentive. I would definitely leave Rubin with Beverly again!”
“Thank you so much to Kayla for taking care of Clio in her home while I was away. I truly appreciated her genuine care and easygoing nature -- I felt much more at ease. Communication before and during boarding was solid. And it's a bonus that Kayla lives so close to where I do, meaning the kitty didn't have to endure an extended car ride. Thank you again!”
“Steven is a sweet guy who is attentive to the needs of the pets in his care. He knows them and their personalities. If you’re looking for a stand-up guy to care for your beloved babies, go ahead and book with him. You’ll be glad that you did.”
“I am so pleased with the care Tara gave my pup Tegan while I was away. I got frequent updates by text as well as with pictures and videos. She was also quick to respond when I had a question. That really helps me put my mind at ease. I hope Tara is available next time Tegan can’t come with me when I am out of town. 6/5 stars!!! Thank you again so much!!! I truly appreciate it and I know Tegan did too:)”
About: I have taken care of various types of dog babies across many states. I learn quickly about what a dog needs especially when factoring in weather. I work from home most days and run in the evening. Usually long distance runs are in the morning so not inconvenient for night stays. For my home, I have a very spacious dog park and closed in balcony. Also live close to the riverwalk for night walks. There is space in home for medium sized crates if necessary.
“Lasya did an amazing job taking care of my dog! They were super nice, sent regular updates, and made sure my pup was happy and safe. Thank you very much for taking care of Millie.”
“Vanessa and her family took great care of our dog. I can’t say how appreciative we are for the care and regular photos and notices of how he was doing. Not only was she amazing at her keeping us up to date , but whenever I would issue a correspondence she would respond back promptly which speaks volumes on her focus on providing excellent service. My rating is Top Notch. Thank you Vanessa”
“This was my first time using Rover and Star was very helpful and understanding. I could tell she was very knowledgeable about dogs as well. She kept me updated every step of the way with pictures and progress texts. I will definitely be using Star again in the future ??”
“Have left our pups with Tammy a few times now over the summer. They always come back happy. We love seeing all the photos while we’re on vacation. Tammy was even kind enough to bathe the dogs (with our permission) before we picked them up. Highly recommend!!”
“Queeny took real good care of our friend Luka. She took him to walks and gave us updates everyday on how he's been doing. So we were not worried at all. I know he has good time with Queeny and her family. We can say now Luka really found another home for him when we are traveling.”

Jess is wonderful. I have engaged her twice to board my American Staffordshire Bull Terrier. Both times issues arose, one was a health issue and another where my flight was cancelled and I needed extra days of care. She cheerfully accommodated the situation and put my mind at ease during a stressful time. She takes great care of Halle, who is a rescue and can be reactive towards other dogs. I usually have to give a lot of instructions for sitters, but not so much with Jess, she just knows what to do. I especially noticed that Halle was more relaxed after staying with Jess. Now that she is used to her, I feel really comfortable leaving Halle with Jess.
Jessica was absolutely fantastic! This was my first time leaving Gumbo with a sitter from Rover and I will definitely be rebooking with her. She provided solid updates, sent great photos and overall I felt so comfortable and at ease knowing she was giving Gumbo the best care.
Lasya and her husband were both so kind, accommodating, and responsive throughout the entire process, from initial booking to pick-up at the end of the stay. My dog Willow was so well taken care of! He can be a little anxious sometimes and I was so happy to receive so many photos of him relaxing and enjoying his stay. They kept up with his eating and feeding schedule and gave him lots of attention. I would highly recommend them and I would definitely book them again. Thank you for taking such good care of my baby!!!
Kira's been our rover since we moved to Detroit, and our dog's hung out with her and her dog many times at this point. Our dog clearly loves staying over, which is rare for her, and it speaks to Kira's ability to care for animals and be responsible and present. Will continue to trust her with my dog for as long as she's willing!
Vanessa provided fantastic care for our dog Sox over the weekend. He came home happy and calm. She communicted with us regularly, sent pics and took him for regular walks. Vanessa's home is well kept and dog friendly. She was able to accept our request on short notice. We'll be back.
Pallavi is an amazing sitter who cared for Rocket like her own. Rocket stayed with Pallavi and her husband over the weekend, and when we picked him up, he even walked us back to their doorstep! Needless to say, our puppy felt right at home. We highly recommend Pallavi as a sitter.
We left our dog Rory in the care of Miranda and Cameron for over two weeks while we were away on vacation. They provided us with updates on how she was doing while away, and they were also able to deal with a couple health issues that our dog was dealing with at the time. When we picked up Rory, it was easy to see that she was well taken care of in Cameron. We would definitely recommend using them for your dog sitting services and we look forward to reaching out to them the next time we need a dog sitter as well.
Michael was amazing with my little man, his updates made me feel so much more comfortable about leaving my puppy for the weekend knowing he was in such good care. He went above and beyond during my little man’s stay, working with me so well on the random things involved with puppy adjustment. The next time I need to have someone trustworthy and kind - I know exactly who to contact and look forward to him watching my dog in the future.
