“Eddy had the best time with Viktoryia and her family! I received daily updates and pictures of Eddy which was awesome! I will definitely be booking with Viktoryia again when we travel!”
“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%”
“Absolutely fantastic sitter. Her and her family took amazing care of my girls. She kept me updated daily and even sent me pictures of all the adventures they had. My dogs are my only family and finding someone to care for them in my absence is very stressful. Elisa took all the stress away and showed my girls all the love I would have. Would 1000% recommend to anyone that is looking for a loving home for their fur babies. Thank you Elisa! I will be booking again soon”
“SUPER, Tiffany and her family treated my dog (Mazie) like family. Especially, thru the hard time of Mazie not knowing where and why she was there. They texted me to keep me informed and we worked thru it together. Mazie, adjusted and finally relaxed and everything was good.”
“Natalya took care of our 18 month maltipoo, Charlee, while we were out of town for the holidays. She was absolutely wonderful with Charlee! I felt completely at ease with her and she sent daily photos and videos to us. Charlee also had a great time playing with her dog Masha! I would highly recommend her to anyone.”
About: I have attended formal dog training classes. I have fostered 40 rescue dogs for the past 3 years. I currently have three of my own and two fosters at home. I believe fostering is not just about providing a home, but is also about building trust and respect, teaching the rescue dogs basic obedience and social skills. I hope I can help you with your pet care needs with my experience. I currently work at home full-time with a flexible schedule. I can provide dog walking service any time of the day including weekdays and weekends. I have a fenced - in backyard. Doggy day care dogs will have multiple play sessions with my pack outside. They will also get walks daily.

“My dog had an amazing experience with Tina and her dog, Tahoe. I will 100% be bringing my pup over again for boarding. Tina is a great communicator who made it very easy to meet her and book. She clearly knows dogs and dog behavior well. Tahoe is a sweet dog, who got along so well with mine. I felt very comfortable leaving my pup for the first time because her house is set up well for animals, and she has a great routine for dogs set up. Tina sent regular messages, so I knew my dog was doing great. I was so happy with her service. I would heartily recommend her to anyone.”

“Nicole and her family were wonderful with my pug and French bulldog! They are a true dog family and Nicole has prior dog experience that was very helpful in terms of gauging behavior, interaction with other dogs, and any individual needs. They gave them lots of playtime as well as breaks/rest, asked good questions, and shared photos & videos. Nicole has a large fenced-in yard that my dogs loved tearing around in.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Ellenton
We got lots of videos of our pets while we were gone. They seemed to have a nice time staying with Lisbeth. Our dog had other dogs to play with. Our cats enjoyed laying in the cat tree. We were happy not to be worried about them as we were gone about 10 days. Hopefully we can book her again sometime. ♡
Two thumbs up for Kym and Glenn! This was my first time using Rover. Kym responded to my reservation request right away. We made arrangements for everyone to meet and see their space prior to the drop off. Their dogs welcomed my dog Coco and Glenn showed me their space; a beautiful shaded, fenced in backyard and the run of the house. After the drop off, I received pictures and texts letting me know how Coco was doing. They made it easy and being away from Coco, stress free.
As usual, Gabrielle is perfect for our Scout! She loves him, cares for him, and makes him a very happy hoy! Her communication is top notch with many updates throughout the day, written, pictures, and videos. This time, Scout was pining after her as we were driving away. A sign of a true bond! 🥰
Patricia was great. She took care of Benni, who is a very shy and fearful Yorkie, for three nights. Benni absolutely did not want to leave us, but she became so comfortable that she bonded with, sat with and slept on Patricia's bed. Patricia sent plenty of pictures and descriptions of Benni's care. We would definitely hire Patricia again, but we are only visiting Alaska and may not have another chance.
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!!!!

Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
