“This was my first time using Rover, and Alejandra was great with our Bernese Mountain Dog. She communicated well, answered all of our questions, and reassured us that our pet was in good hands. I would definitely use her service again!”
“Absolutely lovely family. They took excellent care of our dog Duke. He came home happy and worn out from all the playing he did. Their house is lovely and the yard is perfect for any dog. Fully fenced in. We got to do a meet and greet to see if Duke was a good fit. Would 100% book again if we need to.”
About: New to Rover.com but 10+ years of fostering over 400 babies for local shelters. They were all spoiled by the time they were ready for adoption. (No apologies for that 🙃) Your pet will be well cared for/spoiled while they visit! I can take two dogs, for the safety of your pet(s) and mine, only if they are from the same household. Love animals and miss fostering I did while in California. Your family member will be in caring hands who has years of experience with puppies and kittens who needed medication. I’m retired and have all the time in the world. 🤭 New home with half acre fenced yard. Have a very active border collie who wants a playmate. My animals have always had the run of the house but I can provide a crate if need be. If you need an extended period of time, let me know. My last foster was 6 months, from a local shelter and was here for over 2 months.
“Leandra and Mark did an amazing job with our puppy. They are so personal with clients. They took such good care of our baby. I definitely will book again. Their availability is great especially for a puppy. They love playing with the puppy. They treated our puppy like he was their own. I look forward to them watching him again soon!”
“Our dog is a full-fledged and much loved member of the family, and we felt very comfortable leaving her with Betty. I appreciated knowing that Betty is an experienced dog rescuer and caretaker. Her neighborhood and home were very nice. We loved receiving pictures and updates. Our dog often experiences stomach upset when stressed and she had none of that after staying with Betty! We definitely plan to have Lucy stay with her again. Highly recommended!!! :)”
“Lynnette provided excellent care for our dog while we were away for the weekend. She is very thorough and professional in her approach to care, and her home had a wonderful set up to make our dog's stay comfortable. Very quick response times on all communication and we received lot of updates and pictures to confirm he was having a good time. Highly recommend!”
“Kat was great to work with and our golden Doodle, Augie, gives her 5 stars. We got pictures during her stay and everything was ready when we came to pick her up. We will definitely schedule with Kat again.”
“Chris was Fabulous!! Last minute needed pup care fora long day. We took the pups to Chris's house... he shared their day with us via pictures through out the day. Picked up some tired pups that slept all thru the night. Would absolutely use Chris again.”
“Faith was so pleasant and her accommodations are beautiful. The yard was big and offered shade. Faith's dogs are super cute and they were extremely friendly with my dog. It all made my dog's stay very enjoyable.”
“This was Tucker’s first stay with Christine and it went very well. She is very good at keeping the dogs busy and exercised so they stay involved and don’t think about missing us. She sent us several videos during Tucker’s stay that helped us see he was doing well. I would definitely book with her again.”
“Jen and Larry are so kind and accommodating! And they gave me lots of updates on how my pup was doing so I could relax and not worry too much about her. Riley had a nice time playing”
“My last pet sitter canceled last minute and everything went to crap as my cat pepper "drama king screaming demon" needs medicine for his stomach and anxiety in his old age. Sonny took my black fur ball of rage and distrust and made sure he had his medicine and space as pepper can be a bit "much" she gave lots of pictures and updates and was available within 2 days of booking which I desperately needed. She also worked with me as my family trip had gotten derailed when our car broke down and was willing to watch him for a bit longer as we figured out how to get home. She builds a great rapport and I can tell her own animals adore her and are VERY well socialized. Her kitten peaches ran up to me wanting to say hi and her dog ham was not aggressive in the least meeting me for the first time, he just wanted pats!”
“I’m grateful we found Kevin for our Bodie. He sent updates and Bodie was having a blast with his dogs and in the backyard. I doubt our dog knew we were gone for the weekend.”
“Emily did an exceptional job taking care of Spartacus! From the moment I entrusted her with our dog, I knew I made the right decision. Emily demonstrated a remarkable level of professionalism and dedication throughout the entire dog sitting experience. She showed genuine care and affection towards our dog, ensuring his well-being and happiness at all times. I was impressed by her attention to detail and ability to provide a safe and comfortable environment for our pet. Communication was seamless and prompt, with regular updates and photos that reassured me of our dog’s contentment. I highly recommend Emily to anyone in need of a reliable and trustworthy dog sitter. Her exceptional service and genuine love for animals makes her a standout choice. I am grateful for this experience and will undoubtedly seek her services again in the future!”
“Tiffani was amazing! Great communication and very accommodating when it came to drop off and pick up. Rae really enjoyed her stay and definitely plan on booking again.”
“Kim and her whole family took amazing care of Pulcinella and Steve! She kept me up to date of their activities with lots of pictures. The boys had an amazing visit!”
“Cassandra did a fantastic job taking care of Roxy while we were gone. She even sent updates every few days. We will definitely use Cassandra again if she is available. Thank you!”

Elkhart dog parents share their Rover experiences
Alejandra was excellent with our two dogs Rosie & Max! They are half-siblings - one is a full yorkie & one is a morkie (maltese & yorkie). All of their feeding, snack, medicine, care & outside needs were full taken care of. They both have lots of energy & all of their play & exercise needs were fulfilled with Alejandra at her home with her fenced in yard & her small dog to run around & play with. They stayed for ten days & had an excellent time! Alejandra sent daily pictures & videos & my doggies were happy as can be! We arranged for additional bath services & they were bathed the day they came home & arrived home perfectly fluffy & clean with adorable little bandanas that said ‘Best Friend Ever’ - cute as can be. We were wonderfully pleased with all of Alejandra’s loving care with our dogs & would definitely use her pet sitting services again in the future! 5 stars!
