“Oh my God, what should I say about this wonderful person, ISBATH, who looked after our Ace. Our dog is a single master dog and really a protector type. I was little hesitant to take him to meet Ms. Isbath. I don’t know, she may be some kind of magical approach. I never heard a single growl from Ace, which was really surprising. The day I dropped him to Isbath’s house, gradually Ace become a family member. The day I dropped Ace, Ms. Isbath send me plenty of photos and videos to update the boarding. My family and I are very much happy to Isbath and her family to look after our Ace and once we picked him up from Ace, he joined back to our family. I am sure that Ace also got a very excited and awesome vacation. We will definitely recommend Isbath and family. Once again thank you Isbath and Thank you Rover. May God Bless us all.”
“Jenny is awesome! Since this we our (and of course Charlie’s) first experience using Jenny (or Rover.com for that matter) we were so pleased that she sent us updates and photos from his stay. And he came home a happy guy!”
“We have a nervous pup who had never been to a sitter before. Margarita was clearly up for the challenge. She worked with him to to make him feel comfortable comfortable and as she promised they eventually became BFFs before the end of the weekend. She sent us constant video updates which made us feel comfortable and at ease. Would definitely recommend.”
“Monica and her family was AMAZING with my dog! She was attentive, prepared, and welcoming. Great with keeping in touch, by sending me updates and pictures daily. She not only took care of my dog, but gave her plenty of exercise. Monica's dog, Jessie, was very friendly with mine. They even shared bed with each other. I would HIGHLY recommend Monica for boarding services. Your dog is in great hands with Monica, and I look forward to working with her again in the future.”
“First time leaving my 1 year old maltipoo at a sitter and Bhavani proved to be an excellent host. She was very responsive and accommodating with my boarding request as I had to travel out of town. She sent frequent updates with videos about Flynn which was very assuring. Highly recommend her!”
“Ryan was absolutely amazing with my dog, Rio! He took great care of him, was super attentive, and kept me updated the whole time. Rio came back happy and relaxed, which says a lot. I’ll definitely be leaving Rio with Ryan again. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”
“Ahmad was super accommodating with our last minute request. We appreciate his flexibility. He shared photos and updates of Khloe. She was happy with him and also loved the parting gift he gave her. Thank You and Happy New Year!!!”
“I was so happy i fpund Bonnie and her husbad , they really took care of my 2 dogs. They treat them as their own. They give them extra care and attention. I highly recommend Bonnie. Nothing to worry if you leave them at their care. Will surely leave my babies again .”
“This was my first time letting my dog overnight board anywhere— and it was the best experience for both me and him. Jessica took us in very last minute and was communicative the whole time. I was states away, yet I always knew what my dog was doing and I got so many pictures of him smiling. Would 100% recommend!”
“It was Duke’s first stay with Claudia. He was excited at drop off, no stress, no anxiety. Claudia sent pictures of Duke being his normal self throughout the evening. Extra appreciation and thanks to Claudia for accommodating the request for late pickup.”
“I left my dog with Lineth for the first time, and I couldn’t be happier with the care she provided. She followed Cosmo’s routine perfectly and treated him with so much love and attention that I felt completely at ease. It’s not always easy to leave your pet, but knowing he was in such good hands made all the difference. Moving forward, she will definitely be my first choice for Cosmo. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will truly care for their dog! Thanks 🙏”
“Hollie and her husband cared for Rainey like their own. They kept to her routine, gave her medicines when needed, and made sure Rainey got plenty of exercise and playtime. They sent many updates every day. I was very comfortable leaving Rainey with them for the first time (for two weeks), she warmed up to them very quickly. Thank you both!”
“Leslie did a wonderful job watching our two small dogs (a mini-poodle and a bichon) for a nine-day vacation. She followed all our detailed requests (about food, etc), kept in frequent contact, and sent us lots of pictures. It was pretty clear that our dogs were well-pampered during their stay, and possibly did not want to leave! We will use Leslie again unhesitatingly in the future.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs since age 12, worked alongside a professional trainer, and raised my own Pitbull and I am now raising a Havanese. Experienced with multiple breeds, puppies through seniors, I bring patience, structure, and genuine love. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I maintain a flexible schedule while job searching, allowing me to provide reliable walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, and attentive companionship throughout the week. I create a calm, secure environment by following each pet’s routine, monitoring behavior closely, and maintaining clean, pet-safe spaces. I communicate regularly with owners and prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency. I have fenced in yard and one friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. If needed I also have crates if your baby feels more comfortable in their own safe space.

We had a wonderful experience with our dog sitter. She was professional, reliable, and kept us updated throughout the stay with messages and pictures, which gave us great peace of mind. It was clear that she was loving, caring, and genuinely attentive to our dog’s needs. We could tell our dog was happy and well cared for. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.
I truly appreciate Alex and the wonderful care she provided for my pups while I was away. She has watched my younger dog, Mila, before, and Mila is always happy and excited to see her. This time, Alex cared for both Mila and my 14-year-old Yorkie, and I felt completely comfortable leaving them in her hands. Knowing they were well cared for allowed me to relax and enjoy my time away without any worries. I would gladly trust Alex with my dogs again.
We found just who we needed- an outstanding sitter for my sensitive rescue pup. Gianna and Billy have a great calm warmth that Malarkey feels safe around. I can tell they really feel for him and understand his cues and this made him open up to them at record speed. Gianna’s photo updates were the best! I will now be comfortable going away without my fur son.
Our chocolate lab, Sky, had an amazing 12-day stay with Louie and his family! I received multiple pictures and videos every day of her playing outside and Louie was always very responsive. Louie was recommended to me by a neighbor, and I will 100% recommend him to anyone!
. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Soham took excellent care of Phoebe and treated her like his own. He sent regular updates with photos and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. Even in snowy and very cold weather, he made sure Phoebe got her walks and plenty of playtime, including her favorite game of fetch. Phoebe absolutely enjoyed Rizo’s company and she received so much love and attention throughout her stay. It truly felt like Phoebe had a vacation of her own! We are incredibly grateful to Soham and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a caring and responsible sitter.
I can’t thank Karina enough for watching my anxious girls on such short notice. They’d never stayed with anyone before, so I was really worried—especially about my most nervous one. But Karina’s patience and care won her over completely! My dad picked them up to happy, relaxed doggies and total peace of mind.
Leslie took great care of Finn overnight. He was comfortable with Leslie and her dog when we dropped him off. They had a great time playing and Finn was tired when he got home. Leslie sent pics and kept in touch,which we really appreciated. We were very pleased and will most definitely be asking Leslie again!
Thanks for caring for our dog! We really appreciate that Connie was able to accommodate our request on short notice. In addition, our dog had special health needs. Connie took this in stride and wanted to ensure she followed the care plan exactly. Our pup seemed to have a lovely time!
Dilan and Baran have both been amazing! They were very welcoming, I particularly appreciated their attention to detail. They asked all the right questions in detail and made sure they are prepared to look after Pluto. I also felt more comfortable knowing they rescued animals of their own and they understood the special needs of Pluto. He’s a very chill dog in general but he has his quirks around small kids and other dogs/ cats like other rescues. Dilan and Baran ensured Pluto was comfortable and happy. Walking, play times and feedings were all on point and although Pluto doesn’t love being left behind when we travel he was happy to give Dilan and Baran kisses when I went there to pick him up. I definitely recommend Dilan and Baran and very happy to have found them for whenever I can’t take Pluto with me when we travel!
