“I was looking for the boarding for my dog when I visited my parents. I found Jenn and Brian. I was skeptical about leaving my dog with someone I haven’t met until the day I dropped him off at their house. They were wonderful to my dog. They have three dogs and they all get along well. I felt better about him being with them. They are wonderful people! They were very kind and caring for my dog. I will definitely use them again in the future!”
“Wow! Just amazing. I wanted to give 10 stars ⭐️!! Melissa allowed for me to book at the last minute prior to vacation. Literally days! She has the sweetest energy and provides reassurance from the first moment of interaction. She put all my worries to rest as this was my first time boarding my pup. I will always call on Melissa as my furever sitter 🩵.”
“I am beyond happy with Kelly. She took such good care of Molly. I received pictures everyday and Molly always looked so happy. Will definitely be using Kelly again to take care of Molly.”
“Bev watched my chihuahua for the first time. She came home happy and playful. I could tell she had a wonderful time. Also Bev’s comment was she sure loves her tummy rubbed which I knew meant if all she wanted was Bev to rub her belly she really liked her and trusted her. I will definitely be using Bev again soon.”
“Joan and Tim are lovely. Harley had a great time and it was nice knowing she was with people who were going to take good care of her. Communication was fantastic with pictures throughout her stay. Thank you Joan and Tim!”
“Our pup enjoyed her stay so much. We received pictures and updates daily. Having our girl in such good hands made our vacation very pleasant and worry free. We will definitely be using Dana and Jeremy again!!! Thank you”
“Alena did a wonderful job! I was a little hesitant to use rover just cause I’d never used the app before. But, she made gunner feel right at home 🥰 will definitely be using her again. Thank you guys so much!”
“Michelle was fantastic from our initial meeting before the visit to picking up Hank after my week out of town. She sent daily photos, provided daily updates, and I'll certainly recommend her! Looking forward to entrusting Hank to her care again in the future.”
“Jennifer has been absolutely amazing through my cat’s stay. They’ve been comfortable and taken care of and she has been incredibly helpful while we’ve been dealing with a lot during a move. Would absolutely recommend her to take care of your pets!”
“My dog Joey stayed with Mindy again this year during our annual Buffalo Christmas trip to visit friends. Mindy was again very communicative and gave regular updates on Joey‘s well-being and snapshots of playtime with friends. Thanks again Mindy for being a great host to our boy!”
“Denae & Mark provided a second home for my dog, who emerged from their care happier and healthier than when he started. They stayed in regular contact to ease my mind, and I highly trust their capabilities in caring for canines.”
“Kim watched my 5-year-old Bulldog/Beagle mix for 10 days while we were traveling and we couldn't be happier. This was my first time leaving her and she unexpectedly had to have emergency surgery only 2 days before we left, but this turned out to be no concern at all. Kim knew exactly what to do, guided her through recovery, administered her medication, etc. Kim was easy to contact before/during the trip and, from daily photos/video she sent, it was obvious Beryl was having a great time and she was very happy/healthy when we picked her up. I would definitely use her again.”
“I was very nervous at first leaving our Lucy with anyone again since she had a bad experience with another boarding place but with meeting Alexis, she made me feel immediately comfortable. Throughout the boarding process she was very communicative and even sent pictures and videos of Lucy having a good time with her kids and family. If I ever need another sitter I absolutely will be using her again!”
About: I have taken care of my own family dogs and cats for my whole childhood and adulthood life. I have been given the experience of watching my neighbors and friends' pets. It has ranged from hamsters to dogs. I also have experience with training and watching after puppies. I work full-time as a teacher so am home by midafternoon. I take a mile walk before I leave for work and when I get back, so your pet will receive adequate exercise and stimulation. I have a dog to keep your furry friend company! He is very calm and loves other animals. I have space if your animal needs separation or to be crated for any reason.
“At first I was skeptical about using Rover to find someone to care for my German Shepherd that I just adopted and because of moving reasons I needed a place for him to be until my place was ready. I came across Jin, and she was immediately available, and I couldn't be more lucky to have found such an amazing human been, she took care of my Tony so good, with constant pictures and follow ups about his activities. I will only use her services to care for my dog. She us the best. Thank you so much for taking care my big baby tony.??”
