“My first booking with Amy and my dog, Buggy, had an amazing day! Walk to the park, fetch, splashing in some water, nap and some indoor games. I have more setup and get to know my dog won’t be stressing :)”


“Thank you Nyree, my Inosuke was so happy and comfortable in your home my son said Inosuke cried because he had to go home. You help me reduced my anxiety especially since this was his first day care. I appreciate you so much, highly recommend and will use again.”


“Karen and Ryan have been the best sitters for my puppy. He’s always so happy to go to their house. They’ve been feeding him and helping with a medical need during the day and are flexible when I’m running late from work. Would recommend them to friends and family!”


“Chloe has such a tender, genuine heart and attention to detail! She was so patient with my nervous little girl, I cannot THANK YOU enough for caring for my baby as kindly as you did, it meant so MUCH to me.”


“Jacquie & Kyle are incredible! They asked all the right questions and did a meet & greet to ensure Dax was a good fit for their care. It is apparent they have experience with dogs & they took great care of Dax, sending pictures with updates. She came home happy and tired after a day of fun with their family. Thank you!”


“Emilie was so good to my dog, Walter. I felt really comfortable leaving her with him for the whole day. She sent tons of pictures of him while I was at work and said he played all day -- which was perfect! I'm definitely going to be rebooking in the future. :-) Walter was pooped once we got home.”


“Nhaje was great with my 6-month old pup, she has access to a small, fenced dog park and frequently updates with pictures/videos throughout the day! Highly recommend.”


“Anastasia was wonderful with my girl! Gerti was excited to go there and was sad to leave! Weather was really cold but she managed to take her out for a few short walks each day. I would definitely recommend!!”


About: Pets are like family to me. I will make sure that your pet is safe, loved, and has fun while you are away. They may even learn a new trick or two! I love cats and will provide a discounted rate for anyone who needs to board their cat with me! I currently work from home so I can spend all day with your fur baby. Since I do work from home, I can give your pet lots of walks and play time but they must be able to handle being alone when I am in a meeting. I can accept boardings for cats and dogs between 9am and 6pm. Same day bookings are only available for previous clients. I have a dog park within 3 minutes of my home. Your dog will enjoy playing there everyday. I also have a cat that loves other animals! I have lots of entertainment for a cat as well so they won’t be bored!

“Kira was amazing with my newly adopted dog. I didn't want him to be alone during a few medical appointments I had, so he stayed with her a few times. He came home so exhausted and happy and I was able to feel very comfortable and not worry about him being alone at his brand new home. I will definitely rebook with her again. Thanks Kira!”


About: I’ve trained 2 puppies. I’m patient and I genuinely enjoy meeting other people’s dogs. I currently have plenty of time on my hands and this seems like a good way to spend some of it. I’m currently only working part-time. Weekend nights and early mornings (earlier than 10 am) are difficult. Other than that I’m available most days and evenings. I have leashes, a crate, toys, etc. I live in an apartment but there is a dog park 2 blocks away and plenty of green space.

“Absolutely incredible experience. Celia was easy to communicate with and sent me pics of my pup throughout the day. I would love to book again - highly recommmend”



“We really appreciate Savannah and Solo hosting Bandit for the day! Solo shared his toys and Savannah troubleshooted Bandit barking at his food by putting it in a treat ball for him to play. It was nice to get photo and video updates.”


“Haley is absolutely awesome! I can't thank her enough for all her love, caring, and kindness for my little guy! I really appreciate how wonderful she is with updates and how she goes above and beyond to make sure your baby is as comfortable and safe as possible. She is so loving and little Bart is super adorable, so kind, welcoming and a joy for my little Benz to be around! I feel so joyful that my furry baby is being very loved, and I would absolutely recommend her to all furry parents. Haley, thank you so much for everything! We are looking forward to seeing you all again! 5 stars just isn't enough! xoxo!”


“Krista and Alex took great care of lily. It was a challenge because my pup is afraid of storms. But they did a great job. Booking was last minute and I appreciated their help.”


“Sara was fantastic! She was very communicative and did a superb job caring for Millie. She provided an update halfway through the day and included a photo as well :) She went above and beyond and even took Millie for a walk! I would definitely use Sara’s services again and would recommend her to other pet parents!”

Downtown West dog parents share their Rover experiences
Alaijah was incredible!! She was willing to watch Reggie on short notice & made our first time leaving him a breeze! You could tell she truly cares for and loves on every pet she takes in :) He walked away with her & never looked back!! We will definitely bring Reggie back to Alaijah in the future!

Best sitters ever! Couldn’t recommend Karen and Ryan enough. Lambo absolutely LOVES when he goes over to their house and gets the wiggles every time he see them. Just proves how much they care for your dog like their own. They’re very flexible with my schedule and I can’t appreciate that enough.

Luke and Leia are fantastic!!! I can tell Millie had a great time with them. Luke was very communicative and even sent me a video/update before I finished my commute to work :) He also took Millie for a walk! I feel like everything was above and beyond and he cared for my dog like she was his own. Would definitely recommend Luke to everyone!

My pup was so well taken care of! She was a little apprehensive at first, but they handled her so well and she was so clearly comfortable and enjoying herself when I picked her up. So glad she also made a new doggie friend! Received great pictures and updates.

Caleigh is wonderful! My husband and I were looking for someone to watch our dog last minute. Caleigh responded right away and said she was available. She took great care of our puppy. He loved his time with her. She even updated us and sent us pictures. We will definitely book her again! Thanks Caleigh!!

Jennifer was very kind and allowed our pups to do doggy day with a day’s notice. Our pups enjoy the time they spend with Jennifer and Jasmine (pup) and other new friends. Our pups were happy and now they’re gonna sleep deeply. Did I mention that she sends tons of photos and makes her own dog treats?
