Jennifer was amazing! She took such great care of my dog Dunkin’. She kept me updated throughout his stay with messages, pictures and videos. She went above and beyond my expectations. I will definitely be booking with her again.

We left our two babies for the first time for a week.. My anxiety was through the roof, Pam reassured me that everything would be fine.. She kept in contact with us everyday to let us know how they were doing. I was so happy to hear they were good and enjoying themselves with the other dogs. Pam is the best and a very special person to us. I highly recommend her, if you need boarding or just for the day. ❤️❤️

Jinay was amazing to work with. From the very first time I reached out, until the end, she did an excellent job of communicating and was very thorough with the details. Right before we left for our 10 day trip, nori got very sick and we were worried about leaving her behind. However jinay, assured us she'd be well taken care of. She easily followed the schedule we set for food and medications (multiple types with different times for dosage) and provided frequent pictures and updates, which allowed us to really enjoy our vacation. We're so thankful to have found jinay and her family to take care of nori in the future.

I can not recommend Catherine enough!! My 3 year old Bichon is fresh from a week-long stay with Catherine and we couldn’t be happier. Catherine and her entire family are welcoming, and Catherine lavishes my dog with affection. We love knowing that he is well-cared for, surrounded by loving people and a limited number of other small dogs, and we feel safe and comfortable leaving him for extended stays. Catherine responds quickly to all correspondence and sends me daily updates. I tried other dog care sitters in the past when Catherine was unavailable, and nobody else provides the same level of care.

I have plenty of space in my home for your pet to be safe and cared for. I also have a large fenced in yard if your pet needs to be taken care of at my home. I make their safety a priority when coming to your home to take care of or walking your pet

Our puppy Callie, a chocolate lab had a wonderful experience at Daniel's house. She was able to play in his beautiful backyard, which is totally fenced in. Another dog, a lab was there during her stay, which was perfect for improving her socialization skills. Daniel sent pictures and videos to my husband and I during her stay. Daniel's experience and knowledge of dogs and puppyhood was quite evident. This was her first overnight stay anywhere and it was a success. Daniel has our full approval and Callie will be returning shortly for a longer stay.

Erin is absolutely the best dog sitter we have ever had!! We were extremely impressed with the level of care our 2-year-old boxer received. Erin was attentive and clearly experienced with high-energy dogs. We received regular updates and photos which provided peace of mind while we were away. Our dog was definitely living her best life while in Erin’s care and we returned to a happy, well-adjusted dog. We highly recommend Erin to anyone seeking a reliable and trustworthy dog sitter.

Couldn't be more thrilled ...our 1 year old Shih Tzu who is still learning and is an overactive puppy can be a bit much to watch all day; so we were very concerned about leaving her with strangers overnight. However Theresa was fantastic not only did she allow us to bring all Peanut's stuff (pack and play crib/playpen and tons of toys, pillow, blanket, doggy dishes etc.) but she understood the fact that because this was all new to our young dog she especially took pains to know what Peanut's needs were. At first Peanut did not even want to enter the home and shied away from Theresa but Theresa took the time to win over Peanut and by the time we left her she was playing with her toys. Theresa sent us pictures of Peanut playing and having fun. We were especially happy knowing Theresa only takes one dog at a time in her home because our dog is small and young and doesn't know how to socialize with other pets (our vet wouldn't allow this until all her shots were completed) and Peanut is from a home with only adults and no small children we worried that other sitters who take in more than one dog or had their own pet might become a problem. However Theresa's policy of only one dog at a time who also doesn't have her own pet, and doesn't have numerous children which might be a concern for pets unused to active kids. Theresa's dog sitting arrangement was an ideal win win for us and Peanut. She will become our dogs sitter from now on as Peanut loved her and her family and now we can relax whenever we need to go out of town or just need a sitter for a day. Thank you Theresa and family you were the best!

Donna is terrific! She sent pictures, and she knows dogs. Boarding dogs is what she does, and she's great at it. We loved that we were able to have a meet and greet with her and with our dog, and that she is so careful about the dogs' temperaments before she accepts them, so they will all be safe interacting with each other. She has a big house and a big yard. Our dog had a wonderful time playing with the other boarding dogs for a week (she sent a great video!) and came home healthy, happy, and very tired. We will definitely be using her again!

About: We’ve been loving dog parents for over 25 years, and caring for animals has always been a huge part of our lives. After losing our beloved boy earlier this year, we’ve found ourselves missing the daily joy, snuggles, and companionship that come with having a pet. We’d love to share that love with your furry family member—giving them all the attention, affection, and care they deserve. Think of us as your pet’s extra set of grandparents: all the love, cuddles, and spoiling, with a calm, caring presence you can trust. I’m currently working but am winding down a 30+ year career as an educator. I’m available weekends and over the summer right now. My husband is semi-retired and is available Tuesdays and Thursdays all day. One or both of us are also available after 3 pm Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. We have a fenced yard and sadly no pets for your baby to play with. We have no children in the house either so your dog will be the only guest and will receive our undivided attention. We will only sit for 1 family at a time to ensure you the highest quality care.

OMG JODIE was phenomenal. She was extremely communicative. My pet loves her. After I met her I felt my Daisy Mae would be well cared for. She is truly a pet lover. She gave me updates, pictures and videos. She is my new PERMANENT dog boarder. Thank you Rover.com. This was my first experience boarding my 5 year old Dog. She followed instructions. Jodi is amazing and will definitely be using her again.

Gerald watched our dog in his home for 10 days, and we couldn't have been happier with the experience. Our dog can get anxious when he's away from home, but he was calm, comfortable, and clearly well cared for throughout his stay. Gerald took him on walks in the nearby park and provided excellent care. He was also a fantastic communicator, sending regular updates, photos, and videos that gave us peace of mind and made us feel connected while we were away. I would absolutely recommend Gerald to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. We'll definitely be booking with him again in the future!

Freedom was a huge help when we had to book at the last minute due to a family emergency. They were very nice to Cleo and accommodated her food needs and energy level. They also made a very cute portrait of Cleo and gifted her a bandana, which she is still wearing and loving. I highly recommend Freedom to others looking for a sitter.

Lauren and Howard were absolutely amazing with my dog Brody! From the start, they were incredibly attentive, thoughtful, and made me feel so comfortable leaving Brody in their care. They kept me updated throughout his stay with lots of adorable pictures and messages, which really put my mind at ease. Brody clearly felt right at home with them and was so happy and well-cared for. I can’t recommend Lauren and Howard enough — they truly went above and beyond! I would 100% trust them to watch Brody again.
