“Jimmy was at Richard's during the week of Christmas and seemed like he had a great time with him and his pack of dogs. Richard was kind, accommodating and sent pictures and videos regularly. His house has a huge yard for the pups to run around in. When I got back Jimmy was a happy, healthy and tired pup. Will surely recommend Richard and his pack to others looking for a safe and fun place to board their dogs.”
“Amy was amazing!! She sent pictures of my dog frequently and provided a lot of updates. She took such great care of my dog. She is reliable, prompt, and attentive! She made sure my dog got lots of walks and did fun activities. I will be using her again in the future!!”
“Victoria is an incredible sitter, and Ghost and I are looking forward to booking her again in the future! She is extremely thoughtful and truly a dog person. We scheduled a meet and greet very quickly and had a lovely time getting to know one another. She introduced Ghost to two of her dogs and walked us through her daily routine while sitting. After a horrific event at a boarding facility this past fall, I was anxious to leave Ghost again, but Victoria made me feel so comfortable. She sends multiple videos and check ins daily. I can’t begin to describe how at peace I felt seeing him after the first day with her and the other dogs! Victoria is so wonderful, and we feel so lucky!”
“The communication before and during the stay was excellent. It was the first time Nelia kept my pet and I received an update on the first night that Princess was adapting well: it was comforting to know it was going well. Upon pickup Nelia shared some specifics about my pet's stay and all of my pets things were together and orderly. Both the drop off and pickup was smooth. Thanks Nelia and I will definitely use your services again!”
“Christine is a great sitter. My Winnie is happy at her place and has great interactions w other pets while she's there. I love the communication and photos she sends.”
About: Howzit 🤙 I’m excited to shower your pets with love! I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life, always treating them like family—with patience, consistency, and plenty of love. Over the years, I’ve built real-life experience from long walks, silly play sessions, cozy couch naps, and learning the little quirks that make each pet one-of-a-kind. Whether it’s boarding, daycare, or house sitting, my goal is simple: to make your pets feel safe, happy, and cared for—just like they’re at home. Because when your pets are with me, they’re family too. 🐾 I work full time from home Monday thru Friday, with weekends typically spent at the dog park, hiking, or camping (with my doggies). Pet care isn’t just a task in my day—it’s part of my rhythm. I start and end my days with walks, play, and feeding routines, and I naturally build in time for snuggles, potty breaks, and play sessions throughout the day. Whether it’s a weekday or weekend, I keep a flexible schedule so I can give your pets the attention they deserve. Caring for animals has always been part of my daily life, so fitting your pets into my routine feels like second nature. Whether your pets are with me in my home or I’m caring for them in yours, the routine is built around comfort, safety, and fun. That means sticking to their feeding schedules, giving them the right balance of exercise and play, and making time for cuddles and rest. I treat your pets—and your home—with the same care and respect I give my own.
“Denise was a great sitter for our pup! She was very flexible with scheduling and provided regular updates throughout the stay. Would definitely work with her again and recommend!”
“Theresa boarded my 13 lb bundle of sweetness for a week, and she was absolutely wonderful! She was flexible when our flight times shifted, and more importantly, my pup was relaxed and happy when I picked her up. She can run on anxious side, so her even temperament is a testament to Theresa’s love and care! Lijah also loved Dozer the dog, which means he didn’t mind letting her hog momma for a little snuggle time. Thank you, Theresa! I’ve been using Rover for two years, and have had a few sitters. I recommend Theresa for boarding your pups.”

Elliott dog parents share their Rover experiences
For years I’ve struggled with not having a support system in place to feel at ease when going on vacation with my dog. I may not have a close family to do so but I do have Kasey and Alyssa. These two watched my bulldog Frank and did an amazing job. Cared about all my concerns and over protective dog dad issues. I went to pick Frank up after almost a week away and he loved it so much it was like they were his new family. I have some work to do now to win my dog back over lolol. That says a lot about the care and attention they provided Frank who is part of my family. Thank You from the bottom of my heart. You girls are the best !!!!
Sara was an amazing host! Great with all types of dogs and made Lola feel right at home. So much play/backyard time, many photo updates, and Grim was the perfect weekend buddy for her. Will definitely treat Lola to a perfect weekend getaway w Sara and Grim again!
Christine was honestly so amazing. From the beginning she was soo helpful! I have never booked through here before or knew how this whole process went, and Christine made this process just so easy. I was so skeptical leaving my old lady while I went out of town due to her having anxiety issues from her shelter stay before I adopted her. But Christine made this a perfect stay for her! I got daily photos and updates and my Bella Bean even made a friend!!! (Christine’s kitten). This was just a lovely experience! And since my Bella Bean is so comfortable with Christine now, I will absolutely be booking again!! Thank you so much Christine!! 💗💗
Cheyenne was amazing with our 4 year old golden retriever Sadie while my family was away for 12 days. She provided updates with pictures regularly. Cheyenne and her kids showed Sadie alot of love as she was shy at first. She soon became comfortable and looked happy in the pictures. Sadie is very anxious around other pets so Cheyenne made sure Sadie was the only pet she booked for that period. Thank you again Cheyenne K. 💓
Brittany is such an incredible haven for our dog while we’re out of town! She is incredibly in tune with animals’ needs, asking questions about potential quirks and triggers which make us feel confident he is in expert hands. We always know our buddy is safe and loved with her.
Stefani was so great with communication and drop off/pick up. My dogs got along wonderfully with hers, and her front yard is full of shaded trees—perfect for dogs resting on hot summer days. Great with meds and meal times and lots of pics. They loved her house and Stefani, and we will be back if we are in the area!
Aeryana was very communicative throughout the weekend she had my 2 dogs. I appreciated the updates and photos! She was also understanding when they got into some food they shouldn’t have, and also when they had some stress behaviors. Would definitely recommend her to take care of your pups!
We have been repeated customers of Andrea’s and have always been very happy with our experiences, from communication to dog-sitting. Our dog Dexter is always bursting with excitement to arrive to Andrea’s, and is tired from playing when he returns home. We’ll certainly be booking with Andrea again!
