“We couldn’t have been happier with Bri, who took such great care of Mack for us. She kept in touch, sent pup pics, and showed concern for allergies when our dog decided he was hungry and ate her tray of sushi. Most people could’ve gotten really mad, yet Bri showed genuine concern for his health and wellbeing. We won’t hesitate to book with her in the future!”
“Griffs second stay with Katherine was great! Feel totally at ease that he is in great hands. Will continue to book with Katherine for all “vacations”.”
“Jayme really helped us out with watching Diesel when we had to go away for a long weekend for a family wedding. I felt very comfortable knowing that Diesel was in good hands and that he had a yard to play around with. Jayme is very kind and sent several pictures of Diesel. Knowing that he was in someone’s loving home and not in a boarding facility put me at ease. I would recommend Jayme without hesitation for anyone who wants their dog to have a home away from home!”
“Malik was amazing!! Buggy is a very high energy dog and he handled her perfectly. He sent pictures of her every day and she came back home very happy!! Will absolutely be using Malik again for drop off services or more!!”
“Mikayla and Justin were incredible! They took such great care of my GSP Goose and sent very detailed and organized updates on how he was doing and made sure to get him an ample amount of exercise everyday. He looked so happy! Also they were extremely understanding and flexible when I had to pick him up a little late due to my return flight getting delayed. Will definitely be using them again!”
“amazing! great communication and sent tons of photos! She took my dog on many walks and let me know how she did/ bathroom. felt my dog was in good hands! will be contacting again!”
“Howard,Kathy and Victoria took exceptional care of our Rocky . We were so nervous about leaving Rocky as he is a rescue and had finally come out of his shell. Rocky required tons of love, affection, and walks. We and Rocky were not disappointed. Howard and his family are so warm, friendly, and loving. They are animal lovers, kind people, and very accommodating and attentive. We received wonderful updates and pictures of Rocky. It was comforting to know that Rocky was in such a loving environment with great people. They accommodated all of Rocky's quirks and needs. I highly recommend Howard, Kathy, and Victoria to watch over your furry loved one when you need to leave them in a home in which you can take comfort in the knowledge that they will be loved and cared for. You and your furry loved one will not be disappointed! I would rate higher than 5 stars if you would allow it!”
“We had a fantastic experience! Kayla took such great care of our dog, Soren — it was clear from the start that she is kind, attentive, and genuinely love animals. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Our pup came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. In fact, I think he’s missing her! We’re so grateful and would absolutely book with Kayla again. Highly recommend!”
“Very attentive & compassionate towards my Bella! I appreciated the pictures while I was away, leaving her overnight, the first time. we came back early, so hopefully they gave her more free time to enjoy. I could tell she genuinely enjoyed my dog!!”
About: I work primarily from home throughout the week. This gives me the time needed to care for anyone's pet to ensure a safe, fun environment. I dog sat for 2 years prior to my new full time role. I have fostered dogs and now I have recently adopted my own. I love dogs and look to care for anyone's pet when you need it most. Please reach out to set up a meet and greet so I can be introduced to your family member and also visit my place to see if it is a suitable temporary environment for your pet. Thanks! Look forward to hearing from you. I am home most of the time and since I have a dog of my own, any pet will fit seamlessly into his routine as well. I'm sure my dog would love to make new friends as well! I live in a dog friendly community, dog park nearby, have a fenced courtyard, riverwalk in walking distance as well. I take my dog for at least one long walk (about an hour) per day and two other times aside from that. I make sure he doesn't eat any food scraps, anything from ground outside that could be harmful either. Smoke free and alcohol free home. Can also ensure any diet or food allergies are monitored appropriately.

“Justin and his family were amazing with our pup Bella. We received daily/detailed updates and we were at ease knowing that she was receiving great care and attention.

East Shore dog parents share their Rover experiences
Zuleima was absolutely fantastic! She was very communicative and responsive whenever I had a question. I also appreciate that she was sensitive to Maya's quirks , ie., her shyness and worked with that very effectively! I felt confident leaving Maya, knowing that she was in very good hands! Will definitely use again!
This was our third time boarding our anxious little dog with Mikayla and Justin and there’s a reason for that—they are excellent dog sitters. They send detailed updates with photo and video evidence of what a great time our dog has with them and how much she loves staying with them. It’s so great to have peace of mind that our dog is being so well cared for while we’re away. Highly recommend booking with them! We will again!
Jacqueline was very professional and eased my concerns with leaving my baby for the first time, I was so nervous. I was sent pictures of my baby which calmed my nerves down. If she would take Denim again when needed I would love it. Thank you and I would put in the highest recommendation that I could for a great dog sitter
