“Audrey and Karson were awesome! They took such great care of our pup while we were away and made sure to send pictures and updates. We would be more than happy to have Boomer stay with them again!!”
“Nicholas was awesome with Zeus. For the 2-1/2 weeks we were gone he kept us infor.ed and sent pictures frequently. I realized the day after we left that I had missed Zeus' heart worm protection and Nicholas went out of his way to pick up a dose at my vet. We highly recommend Nicholas and will absolutely use his services again”
“Carol has been extremely helpful and caring throughout Percy's stay with her last week. She went above and beyond to accomodate us in times of need and challenge to find a suitable in-home boarding for our Percy. Carol's prompt and positive response gave us the opportunity to carry on with our plan. We received regular updates and pictures of Percy that were very reassuring and heartwarming. We feel so lucky and are very grateful to meet Carol. We will definitely stay in touch with her and gladly take Percy to her for his next boarding stay. Carol's kind and gracious care are unmatched and we highly recommend her. She is a great asset in our community.”
“Michelle did a terrific job for MIllie and myself. Both Millie and myself were experiencing separation anxiety, and Michelle did a great job for both of us.. Lots of photos and email dialogue reassuring my wife and I that Millie was doing fine. Truthfully, I think Millie missed being there and took a little time readjusting to being home. Will definitely try and book Michelle when we back in Florida next year.”
“Robert and Topher took great care of our dog, and even sent us pictures and updates. Will definitely book with them again in the future and have already recommended them to friends.”
“My dog stayed with Karlee for 4 nights recently and he had such a great time! She brought him on multiple adventures including the beach and made sure to send many pics and update me daily. I would highly recommend Karlee for dog watching and sitting!”
“Sarah took VERY good care of Dixie while I was away for the weekend. She provided constant updates with photos and video and she and her boys kept Dixie active and engaged. When I picked her up, I had a VERY tired dog. A tired dog is a happy dog. I would not hesitate to have Sarah take care of Dixie again.”
“This was our first time using Rover or a pet sitting service and Lori was great. She sent updates and pictures daily and we could see how our dog was happy and well cared for. We've used many kennel and pet resorts over the years but none of them could compare with the attention and care given our dog. We're happy to recommend Lori and will definitely have our dog stay with her in the future.”
“I left my puppy with Olga for 4 days while we were out of town. Olga did a great job taking care of my little guy and setting my mind at ease while we were gone. He had plenty of friends to play with while there, and I got to see some great play shots via the photo updates. It was the perfect home away from home for him!”
“KK was absolutely amazing!!! She provided updates and photos every day and helped us feel so at ease being away from our sweet dog. Her home was beautiful and so pet friendly, and she was the perfect fit for us! I have already sent her to some friends as a recommendation and will be using her again! Goldie loved her stay at KK’s! 🤍”
“Stacia and her family were Extremely great with our Roxy. She was very informative and kept us updated constantly on Roxy, she sent lots of pics, her dogs got along great with ours. We felt very comfortable and safe with Roxy in her care. We will definitely be booking her in the future for our trips away.”
“We couldn't be happier with the care Lioubov provided for our German Shepherd, Gunner, while we were away. From the moment we met her, we knew Gunner was in good hands. Lioubov is professional, attentive, and truly has a way with dogs. Throughout our time away, we appreciated the regular updates, including pictures and videos, that Lioubov sent us. It was clear that Gunner was happy, comfortable, and enjoying his time with her. These updates gave us peace of mind and made our time away much more enjoyable. We will definitely use Lioubov's services again and highly recommend her to anyone in need of a reliable and caring dog sitter. Thank you, Lioubov, for taking such great care of Gunner!”
About: I’ve taken care of and owned dogs my entire life! I’ve been a reliable dog owner and watcher for friends, family and neighbors for years. I have experience with a lot of different breeds and personalities ranging from Shih Tzu to Husky to Doodle to Aussie. I currently stay at home and am able to provide a lot of undivided attention, walks, and love for your fur baby! My schedule is flexible and I am able to board and watch your pups as needed. I have a shy mini Aussie (7) that is able to freely roam our home and will keep your pup company! Our yard is not fenced, but we are able to go on multiple walks a day if needed and enjoy our community dog park to get extra wiggles out.
“Oliver and Sawyer had a wonderful time staying with Sandy and Lulu. They had such fun playing ball, running in the yard and made a new friend! Sandy is a fantastic care giver and treated our dogs like they were her own. They loved their time with her! Would absolutely recommend and use her again.”
“5 stars is not enough for Georgianna, she helped us a lot. We had some changes in our flight talked to her to make some arrangements in short notice and was not problem at all. My dog looked so happy while spending time with her. Once again Thank you much for all your help and I definitely recommend her 1000%”
“Stella had another wonderful stay with Lizbeth & Earl! Knowing I don’t have to worry about Stella and can relax while away is the “cherry on top”. So grateful for how they love our pup as their own! 🩷”
“Amanda and her kids did a great job watching our dog, Hans, and treated him like a part of their family. He loved cuddling with her daughter and husband. We plan on using them again soon.”
Ellenton pet parents share their Rover experiences
THE BEST! Lisbeth took the best care of my old man. 15year old Jake (cat) takes medicine twice a day. Lisbeth's Vet Tech skills were why I chose her, but there were even more things that made us glad Jake was in her hands. It was a last minute booking, and then we requested to come later. She was kind and accommodating throughout the hosting, including letting us come early to pick him up. Lisbeth responded quickly to every text, and she was always cheerful. She sent me a picture of my Jakey-Boy so I could see he was content. He had never been boarded ever, so I had worries, that were needless. If you are deciding who to choose to take care of your fur baby, look no further. You have found the best choice!
Gabrielle is fantastic! She took over the care of our dog at the last minute due to an unforeseen situation. She sent pictures, videos, and updates throughout the day. She took care of him as though he were her own pet or child. In fact, I am not sure he was ready to leave! She gave him a bath just before we picked him up. He went on multiple walks throughout the day. He was never left alone (she works from home). And her place is spacious, particularly the terrace! I will definitely use her again!! Best service we have ever had!
Alexandria & Diego G were fantastic! Alexandria was very responsive and sent pictures and updates when I asked about the puppies. They were well taken care of, and their children were so well trained to handle them and good with my little guys as well! I would 100% trust them and go to them again if needed! We all (especially Nico and Nubi) thank them so very much!!
This was my first time with Stacia and I am more than pleased with her care. Annie had so much fun playing with her new best friend and I know this because Stacia sent me videos every day. Stacia also sent photos if her. I definitely recommend Stacia for caring for your dog. Annie can't wait to go back!!!!
We live on a boat, so it’s always a little nerve-wracking finding new sitters everywhere we dock but Kym and Glenn were absolutely wonderful! I can’t say enough good things about them. They welcomed Marley into their home like she was part of their family. Their sweet pups, Daisy and Toby, were great companions, and it was clear Marley felt comfortable and cared for the entire time. Kym and Glenn sent regular updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We are so grateful to have found them and would absolutely trust them with Marley again. Highly recommend!
Adelyn was nothing short of amazing! Had to book a sitter last minute for an emergency vacation and Adelyn was very understanding and accommodating throughout the stay. She went above and beyond and truly cared for him as if he was her own. Updated me with plenty of pics and videos, and at peace with my pet in a time of chaos. Thankful to have found her and have a sitter for the future that’ll provide excellent care!
